no that would be the catholic church.

The church of christ is a denomination which has been under examination for their beliefs over the past few years. They often claim that they are not a denomination, but rather they are the true Body of Christ

These beliefs set them apart from other pretestant denominations

A) Baptismal Regeneration
B) No Musical Instruments in Worship
C) Denial of the Present Day Ministry of the Holy Spirit

now, the COCD (church of christ denomination) is undergoing change right now, so many congregations do not follow the legalistic teachings of the traditional COCD

They also believe that music involving musical insturments goes against the bible. Which goes against the bible.


and with them Heman and Jeduthun, to sound aloud with trumpets and cymbals and the musical instruments of God. Now the sons of Jeduthun were gatekeepers. 1 Chronicles 16:42

Well I don't think we should get into a discussion about their beliefs, that was not the authors intent for the thread.

Just stating that if it were a true body of christ it would follow orthodox doctrine, just as many denominations do not. I am not trying to downgrade it in anyway, just give informaton about which.

Wow, do you know this much about every religion?

May I ask, what do you mean by "denial of the present day ministry of the Holy Spirit?

I don't think it was your intent, but this makes it sound like we are against all music involving instruments, which we are not. We just do not believe it is necessary to use them in worship services because the New Testament does not mention the use of instruments in the worship service.

and there I was thinking that christianity was about God/Jesus/the Holy Spirit...

Sure, what would you like to know? You can PM me if you would like. I can't promise that I'll have all the answers right away, but I will study to answer them for you and I will ask others from my church to help me answer your questions :)

Actually I think you have no idea what you are talking about. The Catholic church was the first Christian religon... all other religons split in protest hence the word protestant. The church is founded on the teachings of christ. Here is the creed of the Catholic church with all our basic beliefs

The Nicene Creed

We believe in one God,
the Father, the Almighty,
Creator of heaven and earth
of all that is seen and unseen.

We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ,
the only Son of God,
eternally begotten of the Father,
God from God, Light from Light,
true God from true God,
begotten, not made,
of one Being with the Father.

Through him all things were made.

For us and for our salvation
he came down from heaven:
by the power of the Holy Spirit
he became incarnate from the Virgin Mary,
and was made man.

For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate;
he suffered death and was buried.

On the third day he rose again
in accordance with the Scriptures;
he ascended into heaven
and is seated at the right hand of the Father.

He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead,
and his kingdom will have no end.

We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life,
who proceeds from the Father and the Son.

With the Father and the Son he is worshipped and glorified.

He has spoken through the Prophets.

We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church.

We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins.

We look for the resurrection of the dead,
and the life of the world to come. Amen.


Now many catholics have a devotion to a particular sait or the virgin mary... but christ is still the center of their lives.
