  2. The Article: “COMMON SENSE QUESTIONS A "CHURCH OF CHRIST" PREACHER CANNOT CLEARLY ANSWER” http://www.biblebelievers.com/david_martin/martin_church-christ.html

  3. The Author: David Martin is pastor of the Solid Rock Baptist Church, 5893 Old Brownsville Rd. E, Bartlett, TN 38135 USA; phone: 901-634-1622. He is a 1984 graduate of Pensacola Bible Institute of Florida, and was ordained to the gospel ministry in 1986. He has been in his current pastorate for eight years. His article on the Church of Christ cult is the result of in-depth personal conversation with a Church of Christ elder that led to a 3-day public debate with a Church of Christ evangelist in 1997. The debate was attended by 250 people nightly from within a 300-mile radius of Memphis, Tennessee. This is one of the most controversial articles on the church of Christ you will find anywhere. No church of Christ preacher can satisfactorily answer any of the questions posed by Pastor Martin.

  4. Baptist Church? • I can find “churches of Christ.” Romans 16:16 • Where is the Baptist Church? • It didn’t exist until almost 1600 years after the last book of the Bible was written.

  11. Satisfactory Answer? • 2 Chronicles 18:1-15 • Micaiah’s answer was not “satisfactory” to Ahab, but it was, nevertheless, the truth.

  12. Introduction The religious sect known as the "Church of Christ" has many peculiar and aberrant doctrines that are contrary to the word of God. It is a most deceptive and dangerous cult. Their teaching of baptismal regeneration is an age-old heresy that has damned millions to hell, and is still doing so today. The idea that they are the one, true and restored church of Jesus Christ puts them in the same league with the Mormon and Roman Catholic churches.

  13. Religious Sect • Not a new charge. • Acts 28:22 But we desire to hear from you what you think; for concerning this sect, we know that it is spoken against everywhere.”

  17. Baptismal Regeneration • Definitions range from “baptism saves apart from faith” to “baptism saves.” • Mark 16:16 He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned.

  19. One True Church? • Ephesians 1:22-23, 5:23 • Ephesians 4:4-6 • 1 Corinthians 1:10, John 8:32, Matthew 7:15

  20. Introduction If you are a member of this "church" or have been influenced by its teachings, we challenge you to ask your preacher the questions that follow, then get your King James Bible out, open it up, and ask the Holy Spirit to show you the TRUTH (John 16:13). If you have never been saved in the Bible sense, for heaven's sake, do not mistake being "washed in the baptistry of the church" for being washed in the blood of Christ

  21. How Do We Come to Know The Truth? • John 16:13 However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come. • Cf. John 13:1-2, Luke 22:7, 14 • Ephesians 3:3-5, 2 Timothy 2:15

If you have never been saved in the Bible sense, for heaven's sake, do not mistake being "washed in the baptistry of the church" for being washed in the blood of Christ

  23. Washed In The Blood of Christ • We could also say, “Do not mistake being washed from your sins by saying the sinner's prayer "for being washed in the blood of Christ.“ • Romans 6:3-5

  24. Introduction If you ask one of these "preachers" any of the questions in this tract, you won't get a straight answer due to their "screwball" theology. You'll have them in "hot water," "swimming in circles," trying to explain their heretical positions. They'll be "hopping all over the pond" because they can't stay too long in one spot without sinking in the mire of their false doctrines. Don't YOU wind up being baptized in the "Lake of Fire" by accepting a "waterworks" based plan of salvation and rejecting salvation by grace through faith in the finished work of Christ. (Matt. 3:11; Rev. 20:15; Eph. 2:8,9; Rom. 5:9; Rom. 11:6).

  25. Lack Of Faith In Christ’s Work? • Repentance? Luke 13:3 • Confession? Matthew 10:32-33 • Even faith is a work. John 6:29
