A Call for New
Testament Christianity
Jesus
died for his church, the bride of Christ. (Ephesians 5:25-33) Man
throughout history has corrupted the church that Christ died for through
denominationalism, by adding man-made laws to the scriptures, and by
following creeds other than the Holy Bible. It is possible today, to be
obedient to the will of Christ. Christians can resolve to restore the
church to being the church of the New Testament. (Acts2:41-47)
