* Removed the word "sect". The primary meaning of "sect" in it's current usage means roughly "branch". The Iglesia ni Cristo did not branch from another church currently existing today. (elantaran 3/31/05) |

This page needs some serious work. Its hard to read and is innacurate in a few places (churches of christ for one). I'll put it on my list of things to do, but I've already got quite a list. Someone want to help do some cleanup? --] 22:12, 9 September 2006 (UTC) |

Anyone have a citation for this? Where does the NT call the bodies "Churches of Christ"? –] 00:33, 27 July 2007 (UTC) |

I propose that this DAB page be moved to ]. Currently, ] redirects to ]. However, I believe that this page would be more useful as the DAB page, since ] is not, in my opinion, the term or phrase, much more used than any other"]]. It ''might'' meet this standard if we limited our concern to just the United States, but almost definitely not if you include rest of the English-speaking world. ] <sup>]</sup> 07:17, 23 February 2008 (UTC) |

== The Church of Christ is NOT a denomination! == |
|

The term "christian" is used ''far'' to loosly, 1 John: 1: 3 says "That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you also, that ye also may have '''fellowship''' with us: yea, and our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ."; to come together and have fellowship, christians would have to think alike, for example most denominations think that baptism isn't necessary (these denominations include Cathlic, Baptist, methodist, and many others); the Church of Christ is '''not''' just another denominational name, Acts: 2: 38 says "And Peter said unto them, Repent ye, and be '''baptized''' every one of you into the name of Jesus Christ unto the remission of your sins; and ye shall recieve the gift of the Holy Spirit." so being baptized is God's law. If you are going to write an encyclopedia-article about something, then you should write it '''''corectly'''''. <small>—Preceding ] comment added by ] (] • ]) 22:57, 25 March 2008 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--> |

:"Correctly" according to whose definition of "Christian"? There is not one monolithic, widely-accepted definition. WP seems to take the approach that persons are Christians if they claim to be so. Anyone can use the name "Church of Christ" — this page simply lists the groups that do. ] <sup>]</sup> 22:59, 25 March 2008 (UTC) |
