Salvation in the Church of Christ

The Following Question Comes From Zach K.

I had a few questions I would like you to check out.

I’ve been watching your videos and I was listening about when you were talking about grace and works and that there are works of faith and works of merit. And, correct me if I am wrong, but the works of faith were those God commanded for salvation (Hear the gospel, Believe the Gospel, Repent, Confess, Be baptized…ect).

I also understand from your videos that baptism, for it to be valid, must be in the Church of Christ, and for the Church of Christ to be valid it must adhere to everything in the New Testament, for example, worshiping without musical instruments, taking communion on the right day of the week, working the way the NT says to work, being silent where the Bible is silent. And, it is to my understanding that these things may not be works of faith.

My question is, if my salvation depends on me being baptized correctly in the Church of Christ, which has the right authority, and the Church of Christ’s authority depends on its ability to adhere to the New Testament, doesn’t my salvation ultimately depend on my ability or, at the very least, the collective ability of the members of the Church to follow everything commanded in the New Testament to maintain its authority?

Thanks and I look forward to your response!

Responding To SDA Comments

normfields — Thu, 06 Oct 2011 03:39:10 +0000

This is a followup to the video, “The SDA (Seventh Day Adventist) Church Is Not The True Church,” which I posted to YouTube some time ago. I respond further to the caller’s attempt to use Isa. 66:23 as authority for Sabbath keeping in the New Testament church and also reply to some of the comments posted to that video.

Here is the original clip from the Bible Q-n-A TV program:

Bible Q-n-A 8/17/11 – Israel Today

normfields — Thu, 18 Aug 2011 13:53:04 +0000

In this episode of Bible Q-n-A I answer a viewers question regarding the Scriptural view of Israel today. How should Christians view the calls to “stand with Israel” being made by many high profile politicians and talk show hosts? Should we, as Christians, support Israel for religious reasons or purely political? These questions get answered here.

What’s Wrong With Denominational Baptism

normfields — Tue, 03 May 2011 15:04:01 +0000

This is one of my first playlists posted on YouTube from the Bible Q-n-A TV program. The question, “What’s wrong with denominational baptism?” addresses a common objection to the biblical necessity of baptism. Many, when they learn of the necessity to be baptized, will say, “I have been baptized” – referring to their denominational baptism. Watch the video to learn why an appeal to a denominational baptism can’t meet the biblical plan of salvation.

What does “born of water and the Spirit” mean?

normfields — Fri, 02 Jul 2010 04:09:26 +0000

This question comes from John 3:5 and is asked in response to those who twist this passage to be in harmony with man-made false doctrine. Does this passage teach the necessity of water baptism or is “born of water” talking about a physical birth? We answer that question in this Bible Q-n-A video.
