There Is No Salvation "Outside Of" the Church of Christ Was there salvation outside the ark? Was there salvation outside of the nation of Israel? Will there be salvation outside the church of Christ? The solution to all of the questions, per the Bible, is clearly "no".    Before your emotions obtain the best of you, calm yourself down and consider two preliminary points; (1) I was raised in one of the biggest, main-stream denominations in the us - not in the church of Christ, therefore i can speak right to this problem. What I'm going to share with you originates from years of personal study, debating, argumentation, and absolute struggle with idea that salvation is in mere one church. (2) Jesus said in Matthew 22:29, "Ye do err, being unsure of the scriptures, nor the power of God." Many "religious" folks have formed their ideas about salvation on their own opinions, pre-conceptions, and statements that they've heard over and over since they've been children (as opposed to the Bible).    The Bible says that there is no salvation found outside of the church of Christ. The Apostle Paul said in Colossians 1:18 that Jesus may be the head of the body, the church. Your body and the church are one in exactly the same. Paul told the Ephesians, in Ephesians 5:25, "...even while Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for this." iglesia bilingue en houston is singular around, and Jesus gave Himself for the church. In Ephesians 5:23, Paul said, "...even as Christ may be the head of the church: and he could be the saviour of the body." For a person to say that they can be saved without being a member of the church of Christ reveals their ignorance of the Scripture, as the Apostle Paul says that Christ is the "saviour" of the body, and the body is the church.    How many "churches" was Paul talking about? Now watch this; exactly the same Paul told the Ephesians, in 4:4, that there is one body. If the body is the church, as Paul stated, and, as he also stated, that there is only one body, then there is only one church. A child can understand why simple Bible teaching.    Although, this begs the question, "Which church may be the one church?" Well, let's work with a simple example. Martin Luther was a fine man with the noble desire to get back to the Bible. After Luther's death, his follower's established the denomination bearing his name; the Lutheran Church. Now, was iglesia bautista en houston that Paul spoke of in his epistles? How could it possibly be - the Lutheran Church didn't exist when Paul wrote his epistle. In reality, the Lutheran Church was established some 1500 years after Paul spoke his inspired words; therefore, it isn't logical, reasonable, or biblical to conclude that the Lutheran Church may be the one church of the Bible, because it simply did not exist in those days (the first century)!
