there is only one church founded by Christ on Peter and the church wrote the New Testament scripture
doctrine is immutable like God who revealed it
there must be apostles governing the church and teaching the truths revealed by Christ
Jn 3:5 born again?
does it mean baptismal regeneration?
John 3:5
Jesus teaches His gospel,
Unless ALL are baptized in the name of Jesus Christ and ie water immersion and the Spirit, meaning born again by the gospel.
It was the Spirit that revealed the gospel through revelation.
So Jesus is teaching we are,
Born again by water immersion and the gospel that the Holy Spirit revealed.
1Corinthians 4:15
For though you might have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet you do not have many fathers; for I
have begotten you through the gospel.
We are born again by baptism, Acts 2:38
We are born again by the gospel 1Corinthians 4:15,
That Gods Holy Spirit revealed.
Unless you be born of water and Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.
We enter the kingdom the same way we get in Christ.
Through water immersion,
Galatians 3:26-27
For you are all sins of God through faith i
in Christ Jesus
For as many if you as were
baptized into Christ, have
put on Christ.
Acts 2:38 ; 47
-47
Praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily those who were being saved.
These christians were added to the Lords church when they in Acts 2:38 obeyed the gospel.
Baptism is how we get IN Christ which also adds you to His kingdom, His church.
Matthew 16:18-19
I will build My church....
And I will give you the keys of the kingdom....
The kingdom keys bind or loose what is on earth(Christs church)
And those same keys bind or loose what is in heaven(kingdom)
Keys only fit a specific lock.
Therefore these keys are the same that fit the church and the kingdom.
Therefore the church and the kingdom are one in the same.
