I was a rural Georgia boy too young to know much but I heard the name Marshall Keeble used a lot in my church of Christ household and I recall hearing when he died. I remember when- as an adult- I first heard a recording of one his sermons . That sermon inspired me to learn more about the man & his example has been guide for me ever since.
I grew up in the thumb of Michigan which is almost all white. I was born after Marshall Keeble's passing but growing in the Church of Christ I heard many stories about minister Keeble and he was always spoken of with reverence. Excellent video. Thanks.
Ikr?? In the intro it noted that the churches of Christ are segregated. The church of Christ stemming from the restoration movement that I attend and have attended are more white leaning (leadership), yet the local church demographic is made up of any given community's demographic.
this is it!!! this is the answer!!! We must reunite the churches!!! The power of God is in them. You cannot denie the word of God and every church ive been to has a different view and idea of life. If we unite as one the control we all fear cannot touch us!!! Bring on the movement lets do it! STAND IN YOUR CHURCH AND BRAVELY SPEAK A UNITED CHURCH UNDER CHRIST i m gonna do this at my church today. i mean the government cant take down our churches. We have total religious freedom
Amene. I just saw a comment about predominantly black churches within the churches of Christ stemming from the restoration movement. The church of Christ I attend and have attended are more white leaning (leadership), yet the church demographic consists of any given community's local demographic.
We all need to unite. Getting with leadership locally, and within the different branches to share what I've learned on my spiritual journey within and outside of the churches of Christ. The unity you strive for was also placed upon my heart a few years back. Romans 11, Luke 24, Acts are key in being grafted into the correct tree and in preaching the Heavenly Kingdom's Gospel on earth. It's about to burst forth!

interesting and i love those old gospels songs, as well as the wonderful and powerful singers...THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!!! WE ALL NEED TO SING AND GOSPEL MUSIC LIKE THIS AGAIN.....JESUS CHRIST IS LORD!!!
I am thankful for the men, starting with Alexander Campbell, born in Ireland in 1788, who felt the need to get back to following only the Bible, and not the doctrines of men.
Philip Buckley , I'll answer it exist in the true church of Christ churches. My church does not have any creeds, no instrumental music, no idol statues, we take the Lords supper once a week, we give to the collection plate we sing with our lips to the Lord. When the Bible speak we speak, when the Bible is silent, we are also silent. Be believe that you must be baptized into Christ for the remission of your sins. I think you know what I'm getting at.
There is a bsic problem with your understanding. Restoration / Campbellian theology IS doctrines of uninspired men. If CoC's were truely the same as Rom 16:16... y'all would study what they studied and do what they did. (Laws of God.. in church.. on the Sabbath). Specific examples of after the cross Christians Sabbath keeping: - Acts 13:14-15 - went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day and sat down. And after the reading of the Law and the Prophets - Acts 13:27 - the voices of the Prophets which are read every Sabbath - Acts 13:42-46 - In synagogue on Sabbath. And on the next Sabbath almost the whole city came together to hear the word of God. - Acts 15:19-21 - Writings of Moses being read in the synagogues every Sabbath. - Acts 16:13 - On Sabbath prayer was customarily made at the river. - Acts 17:2 - Paul, as his custom was, went in to them, and for three Sabbaths reasoned with them from the Scriptures. - Acts 18:4 - Paul reasoned in the synagogue every Sabbath, and persuaded both Jews and Greeks. - Matt 24:20 - pray that your flight may not be in winter or on the Sabbath - Rev 12:17 - her offspring, who keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ. - Isaiah 66:23 - And it shall come to pass That from one New Moon to another, and from one Sabbath to another, all flesh shall come to worship before Me,” says the Lord

When I was a child I thought about people in the terms I'd "heard" rumored. As I matured and studied and listened to the word of the LORD, I realized that GOD made us all in HIS image. It's up to me, like EVE, to choose life or death.
"...the churches of Christ salute you" (Romans 16:16); Since there is only one church (Eph. 4:4), as the body is the church (Eph. 1:22-23; Col 1:18), we can know the term "churches" (plural) does not reference divisions (1 Cor. 1:10) which are condemned by God. The church in Ephesus (Acts 19:1-7), in Corinth (Acts 18:8), Philippi, Thessalonica, Galatia, etc. were the same church in various locations, thus "churches" (Romans 16:16). Since Christ is head, they were "of Christ" for it is His.
The Book of Eph. That you use, Chp. 2 tells Every & Anyone who is they are: Now you gentiles:Pause, is that word peoples or os it Telling you Nations of the Peoples? Israel was and Is The Assembles Of Measiah.you have been taught the other god-Spell that Shaul/Paul spoke about.you can't be a Christian, Was Jesus One?

I have read many of the comments on this page suggesting that Alexander Campbell was the one responsible for the restoration of the Church or even founded the Church, that is simply not true in either case. The Church universal had one founder, and that was Christ. Secondly the Church did not come back in Kentucky with Alexander Campbell. In the past 5-6 hundred years, numerous churches advocating a return to the original bible doctrine rose across the globe.
jog jogjog ... This is true, now where are they really twisted is saying the are the Church of Christ. And then they twist it and say the church is invisible and they are the invisible Church and they put the focus on themselves and not the body of Christ as a whole, meaning anyone who believes on the Lord Jesus Christ shall be saved like the word says. And so they use the twisting of the word of God to those that don't know any better and convincing them that this is the truth and they hold the truth and outside of them you're an error and the erring brother or sister, if you're outside of the Church of Christ and so it's a real play on words.. And they use that to their advantage. And so they keep people feeling like they're in the right place now far as the Old Testament goes as far as I can tell they teach the Old Testament really accurate it's just the New Testament like all these other denominations do that try to isolate people to themselves and to their Doctrine only rather than the doctrine of Jesus Christ in the word of God. But you see this is what the Church of Christ denomination says they're doing the problem is they twist it to fit their Doctrine and so it's a tangled web that they weed to keep them confused them being the new Converse similar to the Mormon church or the Catholic Church and there's where the problem lies. I grew up in the Church of Christ and I knew one thing as a child if there was a heaven I wasn't going to make it and if there was a hell I was in trouble and by the time I was 14 years old my mom told me son be hot or cold if you are lukewarm God will spew you out of his mouth well that. That was true. So God use this, in a way that I never expected so I stopped going to church cuz I didn't want to play games with God at 14 cuz I had a respect for the Lord. When I was 18, I was miserable the partying and the wild lifestyle I was now miserable. And I heard and saw in the word of God that God knew I couldn't be perfect God knew I couldn't live up to his expectations God knew I couldn't keep the 10 command! And this is why Jesus died because I couldn't do it and he knew it. So when I saw this gave me hope that I never had and when I truly trusted and believed on the Lord Jesus Christ super naturally when I repented I was forgiven and I knew it I had a peace in my heart and a joy in my soul and all the guilt and shame removed from my life like it says in 2nd Corinthians 5:17 I was a new creature in Christ and from that moment on I knew it in for the first time in my life the Bible made sense and I understood. So when you know the truth the truth will set you free Jesus says in John 14:6 I am the way the truth and the life and no man can come to the father except by me! John 3:16 for God so loved the world. For God so loved me, he gave his only begotten son, so that when I believed on him I would not perish.

churches of christ are known to have existed in america long before campbell came to america. (campbell being born in 1788 and arriving in america in 1809) rock springs church of christ in celina, tennessee started in 1804. in revere, massachusetts there's a historical marker reading: church of christ erected in 1710.
@@HomeImProveMentHow When I was a child I knew I would never see heaven but as I studied and matured I realized that we are expected to keep on trying and when we trip we ask for forgiveness and resolve to not do that thing again (if we err and trip over the same thing we once more ask for forgiveness and are given it). The churches of CHRIST salute you is not a slogan. There is no denomination mentioned in the bible. I wear the name of CHRIST. It's not about me or you but HIM. I was introduced to segregation in the public schools not church.
Greetings!.So. A.Campbell was a dark skinned man?Never knew this, Now this restoration you speak about, What was it's reformation from? And how did the Name COC come out of it?.
I was CoC for 34yrs. They are protestant and use catholicism as a basis from which they reformed themselves. They deny A.C. and B.S. as founders but they simply are an evolution of the efforts of those two ex-Presbyterians. Hijacking Rom 16:16 to justify "Church of Christ" on the front of the building is simply pretext.
@axis4peace3 Well, ours is independent as well. What I was saying is that all races are welcome to attend if they wish. We have a few black people who attend sporadically, and they are always made welcome. I think people of different cultures like to come together with others like them, and it just so happens the races are along those lines. I like to visit other CoCs when I travel, without knowing whether they are primarily black or white. I know I will get a good biblical sermon anyway.
..in the decades before mental slavery to Television, and watered down religious convictions...Bible debates were considered great fun and popular public entertainment...
@@anarchorepublican5954 the problem is the Church of Christ sect "debates" by basically pulling scripture out of context and repeating it over and over. A little cultic.
@@michaelsawyer158 ....nonsense...no cult would allow that sort of open divergence of opinion...you sound a little bitter about your bad "faith only" choices...its awful shallow in silly Evangelicaland isn't it?...so you still hang around here...like Satan in Job...brother, you can come back anytime..but be ready for a debate..if not a rebaptism...I don't think it took the first time..."wet sinners" abound you know?
God will tell the story of men. We ought to use our time to glorify God and not men. In Christian love. Gal. 1:10; Col. 3:23; Gal.2:20;John 5:44; 12:43;Eph. 6:6; 1 Thes. 2;4.
CofC definitely forces by constant unsolicited calls and junk mail. Popups at homes calling it "checking on you".... ive grown up in this church and my grandfather a preacher for a CofC congregation. They will bully you into being baptized with them.
@@carolesmith4864 its not about what you believe. Its about whats true. CofC loves to throw rocks and hide their hands. They'll do something heinous and use their doctrine to back it up and when anyone says it wasnt right what you've done and I am leaving as a result. CofC says "well we all arent bad.... how can you judge the church off of something one person has done." Its because you believe the same doctrine. And once you allow one person yo pervert a scripture to fit into the CofC doctrine it opens doors for them to take advantage. I was downright harrassed to be baptized. Down to trying their hand and fearmongering. Telling me that me and my unborn child would die and go to hell if I didnt. I finally got baptized. Nobody cared about my treatment by those bullying me. They are so obsessed with baptizing people that they were just happy it happened. But let me tell u. I didnt feel good, empowered, happy, saved, nothing. And this isnt my only experience. Ive been to youth conferences hosted by CofC congregations where rape was made a joke. Oh i have plenty more experiences. You dont have to believe me because your believing is irrelevant to my first hand experience. And its NOT just one person.
Mary Curb , our congregation is mixed. If your concerned then maybe you should seek away, keeping in step with the Bible, to integrate them. Teaching in truth in love is the way.
I believe the english is plain. Seek means attempt or desire to obtain or achieve. Away means when something or someone is not there or in the correct place. This separation is clearly not Christ like but as a Christian wearing Christ name you should "seek away". Otherwise your previous statement is not edifying to anyone and should not be shared. Out of my love for you I found away to reach out to you because of that. So now, sister please find away to disrupt this pattern. Step outside of the box and switch congregations and be the first but do not challenge people to do what you have not done. And if you do it shows your on Christ side not the buildings. The person that put this video together is clearly not properly educated so we as Christians need to in turn "find away" to counter the wrong literature, be it written or by video, that we come across. In Christ, your sister.
Now what that man did for the black communities great what he did for their lives as great. As far as the doctrine of the Church of Christ it's on tilt unfortunately and I truly mean unfortunately.
I hope you know what you are doing. You are slandering hate to the church Christ established and died for. I really feel so sorry for you because your going to answer to God on why you hated the church so much that your trying to convince people to leave the church. Sounds like what Paul warned Timothy about,
Campbell REASSERTED the foundations of the church which were sorely needed at the time. Baptists, Anabaptists, Methodists and others JOINED together to REASSERT and RESTORE the Lord's church. It is not a denomination. Look at the basic biblical doctrines and you will find that.
We are not talking about Calvary Chapel Philip (I think according to the video). The lord's church has absolutes according to structure. There is a pattern to follow.
it is just another example of how one group....Calvary Chapel says....we just teach the Bible...and finally one realizes no, it is just another group...following the traditions, of the day...
@dct10181956 'The Church of Christ Starded with Jesus Christ" Does the name Alexander Campbell and his "CAMELITE" followers have any past history in the founding of the church of Christ?
Restoration? Even if the church did fall we would be able to restore it. Just because the church wasnt in season doesnt mean it need to be restored. Just preach the gospel because God surley doesnt need our help.
For the life of me I do not understand what is the point of focusing on what certain brothers did for black or white people in the Lord? Are we not ALL brothers/sister in Christ regardless of our color/ethnicity? Oh, and what's with the "Black Alexander Campbell" reference? How could he or his father Thomas "restore" God's kingdom when it will never end in the first place? Thomas Campbell wasn't baptized until he was an aged man and that by a "baptist" preacher! Smh. Hymn
true, alexander campbell could not have restored the church of christ. it never left the earth since jesus said "upon this rock i will build my church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it".
I think we are missing the point. Campbell did not restore the kingdom, he saw errors and called denominations together under the phrase our lord uttered "I pray they all would be one" in John 17:21. When we want to "restore" an old car, have we changed what the car is? No, we want it back to it's original state. So we find original parts and put the car back to original condition. Campbell saw the pattern of the churches of the day and said and this is me paraphrasing for simplicity "The church is not in its original condition, that means it is not how Christ originally wanted it, let's get back to that". Not like Martin Luther who "reformed" the church, restoration and reforming are different. According to each situation; who authorizes what? In this case, The authority of the scriptures gives the church and its members the right to expose false teachers and "Correct, reprove and rebuke" (2nd Timothy). Of course there are other churches named with scriptural names and they are God's people, but that does not mean all are following correct doctrine. Campbell saw the errors and called all who are with Christ to get back to the original pattern. Does not our Lord use His Holy word to keep us informed? (Do not be ignorant brothers...). God bless you all.
@@c.j.rimmer827 COC is not the only church doing Gods will!! Church of Christ doctrine believe it n cessationalism, meaning they Believe God can't do supernatural miracles like healing or toungues or prophesying!! The real reason why CoC doesn't have miracles is because of the sin of unbelief!! I try not to debate about spiritual pedigrees and debating cause Paul says it's pointless
Andrew Ortiz you are so ignorant. We believe God does miracles all the time, but the charismatics like the Pentecostals are fake. when the Apostles spoke in tongues, they didn't fall to the floor kicking and jumping around like people doing Acid. The gifts they had was given to them by Christ before Christ was crucified. Those Gifts ceased after the last Apostle. And I guess your lost because you don't have any of those gifts either. You know darn well that your faking if your speaking in tongues. That's between you and God though

27 At the last judgment, some thrones will be set there. And the princes of the nations who are the prophets of the nations will be seated there with their suites to judge the nations; they were manifested by the seven Spirits of God sent to the seven churches of the nations. The seven Spirits or the seven princes who continuously see the face of the great king. And these seven judges who are the seven heavenly angels raised up dozens of prophets of the nations as it was for Israel in the Old Testament. And each messenger will move forward there with his suite and they will sit to judge the nations. And then the nations will approach. Brothers and Sisters, maybe I am not the son of my mother but this is the revelation and the absolute truth from God. The seven heavenly angels of the seven Church ages of the nations are a perfect type of the seven princes of Esther.1. The Bible talks about the wise who have knowledge and intelligence of times and circumstances and the closest of whom are the seven princes of Persia and Media who sit in the first rank in the kingdom and who continuously see the face of king Ahasuerus who reigned over all the nations of the earth. Ahasuerus is the image of the Lord Jesus Christ, the God of the nations in his reign and Esther comes as the nation of Israel. [Ed: The congregation says, "Amen!"] 28 That is why at the judgment of the white throne, such a generation of the nations will approach and such a judge of the nations will sit with his suite and will judge it. Such a generation will approach and such judges will sit with their suites and will judge it. There will be principal judges and auxiliary judges and their suites. And one generation of Laodicea will approach and William Branham will be sitting there with his suite to judge it. And when this generation that did not know William Branham approaches, it will see Prophet Kacou Philippe with the apostles of each nation. [Ed: The congregation says, "Amen!"]. There will be no Peter, James and John! No Jesus of Nazareth or Moses, no William Branham or one of the prophets of the Old Testament. Oh Brethren! That is wonderful! Blessed be the people that see! [Ed: The congregation says, "Amen!"]. Www.philippekacou.org
...have you even read the Gilgamesh epic?... the two aren't really that similar...But what if both of them (and dozens of others from around the ancient world) are rather the residual memory of a real ancient apocalyptic event ?....like the creation of the Black Sea which happened around 7000 B.C ?...

Corey Martin did you believe you were already saved before you were baptized? If so then I will give you a little advice. Get re baptized, because at that time when you were baptized, you didn't fully understand what baptism meant. And I'm so proud you were called to the church that Christ established.
I love that the Lord’s Church has people… absolutely love my black, brown, white, and any other brother or sister. God is so good!!!

churches of christ are known to have existed in america long before campbell came to america. (campbell being born in 1788 and arriving in america in 1809) rock springs church of christ in celina, tennessee started in 1804. in revere, massachusetts there's a historical marker reading: church of christ erected in 1710.
Easy to tips and tricks etc etc It is clear that you do not understand the coC nor the bible.
@@HomeImProveMentHow When I was a child I knew I would never see heaven but as I studied and matured I realized that we are expected to keep on trying and when we trip we ask for forgiveness and resolve to not do that thing again (if we err and trip over the same thing we once more ask for forgiveness and are given it).
The churches of CHRIST salute you is not a slogan. There is no denomination mentioned in the bible. I wear the name of CHRIST. It's not about me or you but HIM.
I was introduced to segregation in the public schools not church.
Very good information.
Wow what soldiers they were. Now they're at Rest,. Oh my we Strive on,

Thanks for sharing.
Awesome... Thank you
Awesome.
Thanks for using Mahalia's music - nice!
Nice. Very informative. Thanks,
Greetings!.So. A.Campbell was a dark skinned man?Never knew this, Now this restoration you speak about, What was it's reformation from? And how did the Name COC come out of it?.
I was CoC for 34yrs. They are protestant and use catholicism as a basis from which they reformed themselves. They deny A.C. and B.S. as founders but they simply are an evolution of the efforts of those two ex-Presbyterians.
Hijacking Rom 16:16 to justify "Church of Christ" on the front of the building is simply pretext.

@axis4peace3 Well, ours is independent as well. What I was saying is that all races are welcome to attend if they wish. We have a few black people who attend sporadically, and they are always made welcome. I think people of different cultures like to come together with others like them, and it just so happens the races are along those lines. I like to visit other CoCs when I travel, without knowing whether they are primarily black or white. I know I will get a good biblical sermon anyway.
Have any y’all heard of brother christmas
Debate...the spirit that drives the Church of Christ.
..in the decades before mental slavery to Television, and watered down religious convictions...Bible debates were considered great fun and popular public entertainment...
@@anarchorepublican5954 the problem is the Church of Christ sect "debates" by basically pulling scripture out of context and repeating it over and over. A little cultic.
@@michaelsawyer158 ....nonsense...no cult would allow that sort of open divergence of opinion...you sound a little bitter about your bad "faith only" choices...its awful shallow in silly Evangelicaland isn't it?...so you still hang around here...like Satan in Job...brother, you can come back anytime..but be ready for a debate..if not a rebaptism...I don't think it took the first time..."wet sinners" abound you know?
@@michaelsawyer158 Good to hear that someone else sees the truth about CoC's.
God will tell the story of men. We ought to use our time to glorify God and not men. In Christian love. Gal. 1:10; Col. 3:23; Gal.2:20;John 5:44; 12:43;Eph. 6:6; 1 Thes. 2;4.
@axis4peace3 Our church is not segregated, anyone of any color may come. It is up to them to choose to come. We invite all to come, but force none
CofC definitely forces by constant unsolicited calls and junk mail. Popups at homes calling it "checking on you".... ive grown up in this church and my grandfather a preacher for a CofC congregation. They will bully you into being baptized with them.
@@jaym8300 Bully you? I don't believe that. No one is bullied into baptism. Only willing believers are baptized, and only if they want to be.
@@carolesmith4864 its not about what you believe. Its about whats true. CofC loves to throw rocks and hide their hands. They'll do something heinous and use their doctrine to back it up and when anyone says it wasnt right what you've done and I am leaving as a result. CofC says "well we all arent bad.... how can you judge the church off of something one person has done." Its because you believe the same doctrine. And once you allow one person yo pervert a scripture to fit into the CofC doctrine it opens doors for them to take advantage. I was downright harrassed to be baptized. Down to trying their hand and fearmongering. Telling me that me and my unborn child would die and go to hell if I didnt. I finally got baptized. Nobody cared about my treatment by those bullying me. They are so obsessed with baptizing people that they were just happy it happened. But let me tell u. I didnt feel good, empowered, happy, saved, nothing. And this isnt my only experience. Ive been to youth conferences hosted by CofC congregations where rape was made a joke. Oh i have plenty more experiences. You dont have to believe me because your believing is irrelevant to my first hand experience. And its NOT just one person.
There is a video from this church from North Bronz attacking other churches and disabling its comments section
Why
Why do both back and white congregations of the church of Christ prefer to have separate services? What is your opinion?
Mary Curb , our congregation is mixed. If your concerned then maybe you should seek away, keeping in step with the Bible, to integrate them. Teaching in truth in love is the way.
What do you mean, "seek away"?
I believe the english is plain. Seek means attempt or desire to obtain or achieve. Away means when something or someone is not there or in the correct place. This separation is clearly not Christ like but as a Christian wearing Christ name you should "seek away". Otherwise your previous statement is not edifying to anyone and should not be shared. Out of my love for you I found away to reach out to you because of that. So now, sister please find away to disrupt this pattern. Step outside of the box and switch congregations and be the first but do not challenge people to do what you have not done. And if you do it shows your on Christ side not the buildings. The person that put this video together is clearly not properly educated so we as Christians need to in turn "find away" to counter the wrong literature, be it written or by video, that we come across. In Christ, your sister.
It wasn't plain to me and that's why I asked. I won't bother you again.
Mary Curb you can bother me any time you want.
Now what that man did for the black communities great what he did for their lives as great. As far as the doctrine of the Church of Christ it's on tilt unfortunately and I truly mean unfortunately.
I hope you know what you are doing. You are slandering hate to the church Christ established and died for. I really feel so sorry for you because your going to answer to God on why you hated the church so much that your trying to convince people to leave the church. Sounds like what Paul warned Timothy about,
The doctrine of the church of Christ is bible, if it isn’t then it’s not the Lord’s church. No man can question God or the church/body/kingdom/bride.
how can one be the true church, if it came out of a restoration...
Campbell REASSERTED the foundations of the church which were sorely needed at the time. Baptists, Anabaptists, Methodists and others JOINED together to REASSERT and RESTORE the Lord's church. It is not a denomination. Look at the basic biblical doctrines and you will find that.
Calvary Chapel said they were not a denomination...yet they kicked churches out that did not agree with them...ergo a denomination...
We are not talking about Calvary Chapel Philip (I think according to the video). The lord's church has absolutes according to structure. There is a pattern to follow.
and somehow, that is the Church of Christ....hmmm....I don't see that...
it is just another example of how one group....Calvary Chapel says....we just teach the Bible...and finally one realizes no, it is just another group...following the traditions, of the day...
And what did all that do for blacks on earth??
@dct10181956 'The Church of Christ Starded with Jesus Christ"
Does the name Alexander Campbell and his "CAMELITE" followers have any past history in the founding of the church of Christ?
Start with A.C. "sermon on the law" and you can see modern day CoC's are Campbellian
Restoration? Even if the church did fall we would be able to restore it. Just because the church wasnt in season doesnt mean it need to be restored. Just preach the gospel because God surley doesnt need our help.
For the life of me I do not understand what is the point of focusing on what certain brothers did for black or white people in the Lord? Are we not ALL brothers/sister in Christ regardless of our color/ethnicity?
Oh, and what's with the "Black Alexander Campbell" reference? How could he or his father Thomas "restore" God's kingdom when it will never end in the first place? Thomas Campbell wasn't baptized until he was an aged man and that by a "baptist" preacher! Smh.
Hymn
true, alexander campbell could not have restored the church of christ. it never left the earth since jesus said "upon this rock i will build my church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it".
I think we are missing the point. Campbell did not restore the kingdom, he saw errors and called denominations together under the phrase our lord uttered "I pray they all would be one" in John 17:21. When we want to "restore" an old car, have we changed what the car is? No, we want it back to it's original state. So we find original parts and put the car back to original condition. Campbell saw the pattern of the churches of the day and said and this is me paraphrasing for simplicity "The church is not in its original condition, that means it is not how Christ originally wanted it, let's get back to that". Not like Martin Luther who "reformed" the church, restoration and reforming are different. According to each situation; who authorizes what? In this case, The authority of the scriptures gives the church and its members the right to expose false teachers and "Correct, reprove and rebuke" (2nd Timothy). Of course there are other churches named with scriptural names and they are God's people, but that does not mean all are following correct doctrine. Campbell saw the errors and called all who are with Christ to get back to the original pattern. Does not our Lord use His Holy word to keep us informed? (Do not be ignorant brothers...). God bless you all.
@@c.j.rimmer827 COC is not the only church doing Gods will!! Church of Christ doctrine believe it n cessationalism, meaning they Believe God can't do supernatural miracles like healing or toungues or prophesying!! The real reason why CoC doesn't have miracles is because of the sin of unbelief!! I try not to debate about spiritual pedigrees and debating cause Paul says it's pointless
Andrew Ortiz you are so ignorant. We believe God does miracles all the time, but the charismatics like the Pentecostals are fake. when the Apostles spoke in tongues, they didn't fall to the floor kicking and jumping around like people doing Acid. The gifts they had was given to them by Christ before Christ was crucified. Those Gifts ceased after the last Apostle. And I guess your lost because you don't have any of those gifts either. You know darn well that your faking if your speaking in tongues. That's between you and God though
@@anarchorepublican5954 And, in the end, what difference did what you just respond with make? 🤷🏾♂️

Hymn
Jesus only promised one thing, "eternal life". The last time I check all living things die. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
27 At the last judgment, some thrones will be set there. And the princes of the nations who are the prophets of the nations will be seated there with their suites to judge the nations; they were manifested by the seven Spirits of God sent to the seven churches of the nations. The seven Spirits or the seven princes who continuously see the face of the great king. And these seven judges who are the seven heavenly angels raised up dozens of prophets of the nations as it was for Israel in the Old Testament. And each messenger will move forward there with his suite and they will sit to judge the nations. And then the nations will approach. Brothers and Sisters, maybe I am not the son of my mother but this is the revelation and the absolute truth from God. The seven heavenly angels of the seven Church ages of the nations are a perfect type of the seven princes of Esther.1. The Bible talks about the wise who have knowledge and intelligence of times and circumstances and the closest of whom are the seven princes of Persia and Media who sit in the first rank in the kingdom and who continuously see the face of king Ahasuerus who reigned over all the nations of the earth. Ahasuerus is the image of the Lord Jesus Christ, the God of the nations in his reign and Esther comes as the nation of Israel. [Ed: The congregation says, "Amen!"]
28 That is why at the judgment of the white throne, such a generation of the nations will approach and such a judge of the nations will sit with his suite and will judge it. Such a generation will approach and such judges will sit with their suites and will judge it. There will be principal judges and auxiliary judges and their suites. And one generation of Laodicea will approach and William Branham will be sitting there with his suite to judge it. And when this generation that did not know William Branham approaches, it will see Prophet Kacou Philippe with the apostles of each nation. [Ed: The congregation says, "Amen!"]. There will be no Peter, James and John! No Jesus of Nazareth or Moses, no William Branham or one of the prophets of the Old Testament. Oh Brethren! That is wonderful! Blessed be the people that see! [Ed: The congregation says, "Amen!"].

Still a cult.
What if the story of Noah was copied and plaigerised from the Gilgamesh epic.
...have you even read the Gilgamesh epic?... the two aren't really that similar...But what if both of them (and dozens of others from around the ancient world) are rather the residual memory of a real ancient apocalyptic event ?....like the creation of the Black Sea which happened around 7000 B.C ?...
I UNDERSTAND. AND RESPECT. THIS VIDEO. HOWEVER, THAT DID DID CHANGE THAT I. BELIEVED JESUS. CHRIST AS MY LORD AND SAVIOR. BECAUSE. DUE TO. THE TEACHINGS OF MY. GREAT GRAND MOTHER. AND GRAND MOTHER. I ACCEPTED JESUS CHRIST AS MY LORD AND SAVIOR IN. 1977 AT 7 YEARS OLD AND WAS. WATER BAPTIZED. OLD MT ZION BAPTIST CHURCH. I AM NOW A. CHURCH OF CHRIST MEMBER
Corey Martin did you believe you were already saved before you were baptized? If so then I will give you a little advice. Get re baptized, because at that time when you were baptized, you didn't fully understand what baptism meant.
And I'm so proud you were called to the church that Christ established.
i too was baptized in 1977 but not a young child but an adult
