• You cannot "join" Christ's church; it is not a club--it is a commitment to a way of life
• The same process that makes one a Christian also makes one a member of Christ's church (Acts 2:41)
• Christ will add you to His church (Acts 2:47) after you have believed in Him, repented of all sins, confessed faith in Him, and been baptized into Him - then He will write your name in the Book Of Life
• There is one Lord, one Faith and one Baptism (Ephesians 4:5)
• There is one Body (Ephesians 4:5)
• The church is His Body (Ephesians 1:22-23; Colossians 1:18)

Worship consists of:

• Praying (Acts 2:42; 1 Timothy 2:1)
• Giving (1 Corinthians 16:1-2; 2 Corinthians 9:7)
• Partaking of the Lord's Supper on first day of the week (Acts 20:7; 1 Corinthians 11:26)

Those that choose not the truth and choose not to follow Jesus Christ to the road to Heaven will perish.

"Many will say to me on that day, Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles? Then I will tell them plainly, "I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers! Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock." (Matthew 7:22-24)

Jesus would not have allowed Himself to be sacrificed on the cross for us without first insuring that we would have a means of knowing His (not man's) plan of salvation. He planned for all people to hear that He is the true Son of God, and the ONLY WAY to salvation, first through His Apostles, and then through His followers.

We are saved through the grace of God . . . not by our deeds. However, because we are saved by His grace, we are then expected to live a life devoted to carrying on His plan of communicating His holy word in every corner of the world, because He loves all men, and like a Father loves his children, He does not want to see anyone destroyed, but instead, longs for us to follow Him and be with Him eternally.

". . . .But join with me in suffering for the gospel, by the power of God, who has saved us and called us to a holy life--not because of anything we have done but because of his own purpose and grace. This grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time, but it has now been revealed through the appearing of our Savior, Christ Jesus, who has destroyed death and has brought life and immortality to light through the gospel." (2 Timothy 1:8-10)
