AboutOnaga Thomas Expertise I am a member of the Park East Church of Christ in Denver, CO. I can answer any questions any people out there have regarding the Churches of Christ. Whether it be about our history, services, spirituallity or why we believe in only one church. Write me with any concerns you have about the Church of Christ and I will do my best to answer them
Experience I was born and raised in the Church of Christ and was baptized at age 10. With the help of my mother and father, brothers and sisters of the church, christian friends etc...I have a profound knowledge of the truth about the Word of God. I am strong in my beliefs and convictions and will answer anyones questions with scriptual knowledge and fact. I want to boldly proclaim the true Word of God according to Bible principal instead of what I think or what someone has told me.
Question I am a member of the church to . I didnt know you all even existed . I am glad your there . Ok , In the church you know as well as I do, we are all one body . NOw if one moves to another city , they would only transfer ( if you will ) their attendance . we know the elders overseer/rule what ever term one wishes to use but the Bible never states transfer membership in which I do not agree for not backed by scripture though I know not to forsake the assembly : Hebrews 10:25 . Yet I do hear sadly the term . Whats Biblical stance , basically just respond . Want to see if I am on the which I think I am .
Chad , thanks
Answer If you are a member of the Church of Christ, then you have been baptized into Christ which is the biblical entrance into the body, the Church. If for some reason a believer has to move to another state and look for a Church of Christ to become a member at, they can do that. I live in Denver and at the Park East Church of Christ, we ask them to fill out a little card which tells of if they are a member or not, visiting, here with a friend etc....Any one wanted to become a new member at park east just checks the block on the card, no need to be baptized again, they are already a Christian believer. We do that so we can publicly recognized that a believer is placing membership at our church, it will be their local church were they worship. But you are right, never forsake the assembly, but if you become a new member of a church of christ hopefully the elders or deacons will take the proper action to make sure that everyone at that church recognized that you were already a believer, it is just that you are placing membership with that local church. Hope this help you and God bless
