* 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)

Shouldn't this church also be included?

:You're right, and I'm surprised that was not listed. ] (] • ]) 00:44, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

== Substandard ==
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)
: I'll add listings of the various flavours of the Church of Christ, as I relocate them. I had had almost a dozen bookmarked, before losing everything to a Firefox upgrade.(Not all are/were in the Category listing.)] (]) 00:38, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

==NT Claim==
The first meaning listed here is:

"Churches of Christ is one of the descriptions found in the New Testament for local bodies of believers/followers of Jesus Christ."

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

:someone's put up Romans 16:16. Thanks –] 03:31, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

Rom. 16:16 is accurate. Paul calls the bodies churches of Christ in that passage. Of course, scripture also refers to the churches by other names.

==Requested move==
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)

''This article has been renamed {{#if:|from ] to ]}} as the result of a ].'' ] (]) 06:43, 26 February 2008 (UTC)


Well, now it's completely backwards. The page with "Churches" (plural) should more accurately be the DAB page and include the various denominational assemblies that exist. The singular "Church of Christ" page should point to the original Church, established at the death of Jesus. <small>—Preceding ] comment added by ] (] • ]) 19:36, 31 July 2008 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

== 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)

Actually, the correct definition would be that of the original Church of Christ, established by Jesus Christ by His death on the Cross. It's the ONLY assembly created by Him, and not by man. And sure, anyone can use the name "Church of Christ" as their name, but you can legally change your name to "Ronald Regan". It doesn't make you a former President of the US. So the page would be more accurate (and that's the goal here) if it would link "Churches of Christ" to this disambiguation page, and "Church of Christ" to the page currently listed under "Churches of Christ". There is only ONE church, with many buildings for members of the Church to assemble and worship. It's the Church of Christ.

: "Correct definition" is very much in the eye of the beholder.At least a dozen different organizations and affiliated groups of congregations claim to be "the only assembly established by Jesus by his death on the cross."] (]) 21:09, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

: The more appropriate move would be from ''Churches of Christ'' to ''Church of Christ (Non-Instrumental)'' or ''Church of Christ (A Cappella)'' or ''Church of Christ (A Capella)'', and have ''Church of Christ (disambiguation)'' redirect to ''Church of Christ''. Perhaps also have ''Churches of Christ'' redirect to ''Church of Christ (Non Instrumental)''. ] (]) 21:09, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

: With ''Church of Christ'' as an article about a specific, loosely affiliated group of congregations, it will need more than the current three line disambiguation header that it currently has. ] (]) 21:09, 31 July 2008 (UTC)
