Unity in the Church Belonging to Jesus Christ: Religious Unity

Religious Unity<BODY> <center>A. G. HOBBS</center> I. A PRAYER FOR UNITY "And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee, Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be as one, as we are.” John 17:11. Jesus prayed for the apostles “that they may be one.” He wanted them to be united in their work, and for all to preach the same doctrine. The apostles were all under the same commission.(Matthew 28:18-20.) and everywhere they went they preached the same gospel. Jesus prayed that the apostles be one “as we are.” God and Christ are one in fellowship, purpose, love, interesting the lost, etc. But they are not one individual, as some argue. If so, then Christ prayed that all the apostles be one individual, which is absurd and impossible. Furthermore, when Christ prayed this prayer, He was on earth and God was in heaven. “Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word; that they all may be one; as thou, Father’, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou has sent me. And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one: I in them and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent Me, and hast loved them, as thou has loved Me.” John 17:20-23. Jesus prayed earnestly and fervently that all believers be one; not one person, but one in name, faith, doctrine, practice, fellowship, etc. Men often argue that it is impossible for all to be one. Hence, they accuse Jesus of praying an impossible prayer. But prayer must be in faith. If it is impossible for all to “see alike” and be one religiously, then Jesus could not have prayed in faith. And without faith it is impossible to please God. Hebrews 11:6. But Jesus always pleased God. John 8:29. Therefore, UNITY IS POSSIBLE! Any man ought to be ashamed to thank God for division, that every man can nave a church or his choice — that the prayer of Christ has not been answered! One reason Jesus gives for wanting all believers to be united is “that the world may believe that thou has sent Me.” Hence, religious division (every person having a church of his choice, instead of the Lord’s choice) is the main cause for infidelity. If all professed believers would throw aside their own likes and dislikes, human names, man-made creeds, and stand united on the Bible, then we could have influence and success in convincing both the disbelievers and the unbelievers. Hence, UNITY IS POWERFUL. In unity there is strength. Jesus said, "And if a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.” Mark 3:24. The Kingdom of Christ does not consist of all religious denominations; if so, it cannot stand. But Daniel said, “It shall stand forever.” Danial 2:44. Unity would be profitable in many ways. It would eliminate a duplication of buildings, and add to the peace and progress o many communities. Unity is both good an peasant. Psalms 133:1. Let us not try to evade this prayer for unity, but to hasten its being answered. II. A PLEA FOR UNITY "Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you: but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind, and in the same judgment. For it hath been declared unto me of you, my brethren, by them which are of the house of Chloe, that there are contentions among you. Now this I say, that every one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ. Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized in the name of Paul?” I Corinthians 1:10-13. Being guided by the Holy Spirit, the Apostle Paul pleads earnestly for unity. If it is wrong to wear Paul’s name, and it is certainly condemned here, then it is wrong to wear the name of Luther or any other man. It is wrong to belong to a religious party that puts over its place of worship the name of man or any name not found in the New Testament. Christ is not divided, and we should wear the name o Him who was crucified for us. Division is wrong and sinful. Paul pleads for all believers in Corinth to speak the same thing and be perfectly joined together. When one preacher is preaching one doctrine and another is preaching a different doctrine, they certainly are not speaking the same thing. When religious denominations exist, wearing human names, etc., and will not fellowship each other, it is obvious that they are not "perfectly joined together.” Unity can never be obtained while men try to uphold and justify division No one can do so without ignoring or denying the plain passages just cited — Christ’s prayer and Paul’s plea for unity. Men sometimes argue that the religious world is united “in a sense” But Paul pleads “THAT THERE BE NO DIVISIONS.” Denominationalism must crumble if God’s will be done. No denomination exists by the authority of Christ. All have been built by men contrary to the Word of God. Perhaps you are wondering how it is possible for all believers to be united. Study carefully the Divinely-given plan. III. A PLAN FOR UNITY "Endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. There is There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling. One Lord, one faith, one baptism. One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.” Ephesians 4:3-6. Let us study prayerfully and carefully each item as here listed, and a few other passages. We have here a Scriptural and practicable plan for the unity of all believers.<center>ONE BODY—UNITY OF ORGANIZATION</center> "There is one body,” Paul declares. This is unity of organization. What is the one body of which Paul speaks? Let him answer: "And hath put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be the head over all things to the church, which is His body, the fullness of Him, that filleth all in all.” Ephesians 1:22-23. The church is Christ’s body. The body is the church. Colossians 1:24. "But now are they many members, yet BUT ONE BODY.” I Corinthians 12:20. Since there is one body, and but one, and that body is the church; therefore, there is but one church. Jesus said, "I will build my church.” Matthew 16:18. He built only one. All others have been built by men. In speaking of religious bodies that God did not establish, Jesus said: "Every plant which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up.” Matthew 15:13. The church of Christ is composed of local congregations throughout the world. “The churches of Christ salute you.” Romans 16:16. Every congregation established by the apostles and their co-laborers was a church of Christ — spoken of collectively as churches of Christ. They all were taught the same doctrine, all believed, and obeyed the same things; and all were in fellowship one with the other. Christ is the Head, and all that believe the gospel, repent, confess, and are baptized for the remission of sins, Acts 2:38, are added by the Lord, Acts 2:47, and thereby become members of His body, which is the church.<center>ONE SPIRIT—UNITY OF REVELATION</center> The one Spirit is the Holy Spirit, almost every one will admit. The Spirit revealed the truth. “Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, He will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of Himself; but whatso-ever He shall hear, that shall He speak; and He will show you things to come.” John 16:13. “Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which is of God; that we might know the things which are freely given to us of God.” 1 Corinthians 2:12. “Which in other ages was not made, known unto the Sons of men, as it is now revealed unto His holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit.” Ephesians 3:5. Not only did the Spirit reveal the truth to the apostles but he also enabled them to confirm the word preached by miracles and signs. Mark 16:20, Hebrews 2:3. There is only one Spirit and He certainly works in harmony with Himself. There are a number of religions today claiming to have their origin through an inspired man or woman since the days of the apostles of Christ. For example, the Mormons claim that Joseph Smith received special revelations from the Spirit. Yet, what he taught differs from what the inspired apostles taught. If all were inspired by the Holy Spirit, they would have all taught the same things. There are several religious bodies that claim to receive the baptism of the Spirit, they all teach and believe differently and will not fellowship each other. Is this not a strange situation? All truth is in harmony with all related truth. There is only one Holy Spirit. All so-called revelations that differ from the Bible are false. Those making the claims are false apostles — deceitful workers. II Corinthians 11:13. <center>ONE HOPE—UNITY OF AIM</center> Without lengthy discussion, the universal hope of man is eternal life in the world to come. Mark 10:30; Colossians 1:5. Christ has gone to prepare a place for the obedient and faithful. John 14:1-2. “For we know that if the earthly house of our tabernacle be dissolved, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal, in the heavens.” II Corinthians 5:1. However, there are same exceptions to the one true hope of heaven. Some have the false hope of reigning with Christ here on earth instead of going to heaven in glory. The early Christians looked forward to a heavenly home. Hebrews 11:16. <center>ONE LORD --- UNITY OF AUTHORITY</center> Christ now has all authority. Matthew 28:18. Peter declared that God has now made Jesus both Lord and Christ. Acts 2:36. “Lord” means one supreme, ruler, one with authority. The crying need of the religious world is to recognize and submit to the authority of Christ. There can never be unity until it is done. We should all be willing to act by Divine authority. But when men write creeds that serve as authority, and look to men instead of Christ, division will continue. <center>ONE FAITH --- UNITY OF DOCTRINE</center> Jude wrote that we should contend for “the faith.” Jude 3. A company of the priests were obedient to “the faith.” Acts 6:7. “But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine.” Titus 2:1. Paul left Timothy in Ephesus that he might “... charge some that they teach no other doctrine,” I Timothy 1:3. The apostles and their co-workers all taught the same doctrine. No one had a right to his own belief. All had to preach the same gospel, Galatians 1:8, since there is only one true gospel. Hence, the early Christians all heard the same doctrine preached, all believed the same and all obeyed the same commands in becoming Christians. <center>ONE BAPTISM --- UNITY OF PRACTICE</center> Baptism is a religious practice. Most religious bodies practice what they. call baptism. This is one of the things the religious world is divided over. When Paul declares that there is “one baptism,” it does not sound as if every person has a right to be baptized according to HIS choice, and to submit to what HE THINKS is baptism. The Lord has not left us in the dark on this question The Bible plainly illustrates how baptism was and should be performed. Both the preacher and the one desiring baptism should go UNTO a certain water, BOTH should go down INTO the water. Acts 8:36-38. The candidate is buried with Christ by baptism and raised to walk in newness of life. Romans 6:3-4; Colossians 2:12. In baptism the body is washed with pure water. Hebrews 10:22 (not just the head wet). A complete burial of the body in water is conceded by all leading Bible commentators to have been the practice of the early church. As to the design of baptism, it was to be saved. Mark 16:15-16. Christ and saves only the obedient, Hebrews 5:9, and baptism is a plain command. Acts 10:48. Therefore, all had to be baptized to be saved by Christ. Peter commanded baptism “for the remission of sins.” Acts 2:38. Why is it that ALL preachers will not tell dying men and women what the Bible says? As long as preachers repudiate what the Bible says, and preach what they THINK it OUGHT to say there can never be unity. Furthermore, there was no Holy Spirit baptism when Paul wrote this passage or at any time since. If all would follow these plain passages on baptism, there would be unity of practice.<center>ONE GOD --- UNITY OF WORSHIP</center> God is the One to be worshipped. The angel commanded John to “worship God.” Revelation 22:9. We worship God in and through Christ our mediator. Hebrews 7:25. “But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father, in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship Him.” John 4:23. BUT God has revealed in His word HOW we are to worship. Worship must be in spirit and IN TRUTH --- according to truth which is the. word of God. John 17:17. After the church was established, we are told: “And they continued steadfastly in the apostles doctrine and fellowship and in breaking or bread and in prayers.” Acts 2:42. They met on the first day of the week to break bread. Acts 20:7. They were commanded to use vocal music in worship --- singing. Ephesians 5:19; Colossians 3:16. If all would follow these simple commands and plain examples, there would be unity of worship and all would be walking by faith. But men come along and omit the Lord’s Supper because THEY do not THINK it should be observed weekly as by the early Christians. Then men add mechanical music because THEY LIKE it and WANT it. Hence, division arises and continues because men will not follow the Bible. <center>ONE SPEECH --- UNITY OF PREACHING</center> "If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God.” I Peter 4:11. If all would do so there would be unity of preaching. All would be speaking the same thing. Hence, all would tell sinners to do the same things to be saved. Acts 16:31-34; 2:38, 22:16. But some stop on Acts 16:31, and deny the others. And, all would teach the same things about how to stay saved. If all would speak as the oracles of God, the following expressions would never again be preached: “Join the church of your choice,” “Once saved, always saved,” “original sin,” “baptism is just an outward sign of an inward grace,” “infant baptism,” etc. Let us all stick with the Bible in our preaching. <center>ONE WILL --- UNITY OF UNDERSTANDING</center> “Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.” Ephesians 5:17. Only those who do God’s will can enter into the kingdom of heaven. Matthew 7:2. “Testament,” “covenant” and “will” may be used interchangeably. It is said of Christ: “He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second. By which will we are sanctified, through the offering of the body of Christ once for all.” Hebrews 10:9-10. The heirs of an estate must understand the will of the one making it before they can properly carry it out. So it is with the Lord’s will. When the heirs understand the will, they will all understand alike. So it is with the testament or will of the Lord; when it is properly understood, ALL WILL UNDERSTAND JUST EXACTLY ALIKE. God is no respecter of persons. And when all Understand the will of the Lord, there will be UNITY OF, UNDERSTANDING. <center>ONE NAME --- ALL CHRISTIANS --- ONLY</center> “Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf.” I Peter 4:16. The American Standard Version reads, "in this name." Wearing unscriptural names keeps the religious world divided. To glorify God in the name Christian is a command. No one can obey the Lord and wear a Human name. There is something in a name --- the difference between obeying the Lord by wearing the right name, or disobeying Him by adding an unscriptural name. Furthermore, religious parties are built around party names. The prayer of Christ for unity can never be answered until all party names are discarded, Why not be content to just be a Christian only. No loyal wife will add another man’s name to that of her husband. Neither can one be loyal to Christ and add an unscriptural name. Let us be one in name, faith, doctrine, and practice --- and we can be if all will just follow the Bible and the Bible only. The Bible only makes Christians only! <CENTER><BIG>WHAT CAN YOU DO? </BIG></CENTER>You can accept the authority of Christ by doing what He commanded (Matthew 7:21; John 14:15; 15:10-14; Luke 6:46). Notice the pattern for becoming a Christian as revealed in the Scriptures. The Gospel was heard, resulting in faith (Romans 10:17). Repentance of (turning away from) sin (Acts 17:30) and confession of Jesus as the Son of God followed (Romans 10:10). Believers were baptized INTO Christ for the remission (forgiveness) of sins (See Galatians 3:27; Colossians 2:12; Acts 2:38; 22:16; Mark 16:16; Romans 6:3-5; 1 Peter 3:20-21), and added to His church (Acts 2:47). Christians were taught to be faithful even to the point of death (Revelation 2:10). <CENTER>WE WELCOME YOU</CENTER> Following the instructions of the Scriptures, members of Christ’s body [collectively called the “churches of Christ” Romans 16:16),] assemble as congregations for worship, encouragement, and Bible study. The congregation in your community welcomes you to investigate the Bible with us. With a spirit of brotherly love we would seek to reconcile any differences by following the Bible ONLY. We recognize the Bible as God’s inspired word, the ONLY reliable standard of faith and practice. We desire the unity for which Christ prayed and which the Bible emphasizes in the expression, “one Lord, one faith, one baptism.” Together we seek to maintain “the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.” A friendly welcome awaits you. We do not wish to embarrass you in any way. You will not be asked for contributions. We assemble for Bible study and worship each Sunday morning and we welcome you to meet with us. We would be happy to talk to you about your questions and we want to be of encouragement.
