The problem with most Evangelical teaching today is the dominance of Calvinism in one form or another. The removal of baptism in the salvation equation is only as old as the 16th century. Historically, except for a few obscure Gnostic groups, the whole of Christendom never preached anything but that. Are we to believe that suddenly Calvin and Zwingli, 1,500 years after it's beginning, received new revelation from God on the subject? Even Augustine, Calvin's mentor, included the necessity of baptism for salvation in his teaching. Admittedly over the years, the form of baptism changed, the subjects suitable for it's practice changed, and some of it's theology changed, but it's necessity for salvation remained intact until the Protestant Reformation.

Why would anyone want to deny the scriptures that teaches baptism even though they are seeing and reading something different than they are teaching!!?? I just don’t get it!! They are boldly arguing with God and turning down their own salvation! They keep saying “church of Christ “ but it’s what the Bible teaches and is the doctrine of Christ not “church of Christ “. They want to make people think that the church is just another denomination like their church but that’s just not true. These men are master deceivers. Great job Bro. Blackwell and Gallagher!

Why does the church of Christ have its own Bible colleges, gospel journals, lecture series, TV programs, church camps, and so on? I keep seeing the claim that it isn't a denomination, but it seems like one at times. The Mormons and Catholics don't think they're a denomination, either.

The Greek word "EIS" means FOR, and in over 1773 other verses where it is used, it means "FOR", never "Because".

@@christrescuedme2182 "My only boast is in Christ Jesus" Not from where we are standing you were boasting of what you perceive as great ability. That my friend is boasting in yourself and it's all here for the world to see. "Therefore, your failed attempts to invalidate the biblical gifts that the Lord Jesus has given me, is an offense to the Lord Who gave them." Never once did I engage in this or say this. You are engaged in a straw man argument. Also there is no proof you have these gifts. The burden of proof is on you. "God saves by GIVING the Savior to His people, and by GIVING His people to the Savior, Who says, “All that the Father GIVETH Me shall come to Me; and him that cometh to Me I will in no wise cast out” (Jn. 6:37, emphasis mine). For they are “justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus”…“in Whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace” (Eph. 1:7). All the glory goes to God the Father Who purposed salvation, God the Son Who purchased it and God the Holy Spirit Who applies it!!" So in other words...faith alone correct?

You have not demonstrated one once of being filled with the Holy Spirit nor have you shown any sign of miraculous gifts as you proclaim. You also have not proven any of the asserted so called "heresies" of Christ's church. I think the best way would be to contact the two gentlemen in this video and set up a discussion/debate so you can "sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear: " 1 Peter 3:15
