The Lord’s church is the greatest institution on earth. It was planned before the beginning of the world (Eph. 3:9), prophesied throughout the Old Testament (Isa. 2:2-4; Dan. 2:44; etc.), and was built by Christ (Matt. 16:18). There was, and always will be only one (Eph. 4:4) that is acceptable to the Lord (Matt. 15:13).
Its creed book is the New Testament and the New Testament only (2 Cor. 3:6-18) which is a pattern (Heb. 8:5) for its members to explicitly follow (Rev. 22:18-19).
The terms of entrance is baptism (1 Cor. 12:13) following faith, repentance and confession. It is composed of the saved (Acts 2:41, 47), and will never be destroyed (Matt. 16:18).
Truly, the Lord’s church is the greatest institution on earth.
