RESTORATION
Churches of Christ throughout the world are pleading for the restoration of the original Christianity of the New Testament. The word restore means “to bring back to or put back into a former or original state” (Webster). We aim to put back into its original state the church of Jesus Christ.
Through the years there has been an erosion or deterioration. When you carefully read the New Testament and then examine the Protestant & Catholic ‘versions’ of Christianity, you will be struck by the vast differences between the original and the modern varieties.
Church organization has changed (Eph 1:22; Phil 1:1). Names have changed from divine to human (Anglican, Methodist, etc). Baptism has changed from adult believers immersion to infant sprinkling (Mk 16:15-16). Worship has suffered various additions (Acts 2:42; Eph 5:19).
The unity in one church has been shattered by denominationalism’s competing bodies (Jn 17:20-23). The church of Christ is known as the pre-denomination because it is the original in name, organization, doctrine and worship.
