  • Churches of Christ are autonomous Christian associated with one another through common beliefs and practices. They seek to base doctrine and practice on the Bible alone, and see themselves as restoring the New Testament church established by Christ. Historically, Churches of Christ in the United States were recognized as a distinct movement by the U.S. Religious Census of 1906. Prior to that they had been reported in the religious census as part of the movement that had its roots in the Second Great Awakening under the leadership of Thomas and Alexander Campbell, Walter Scott, and Barton W. Stone. Those leaders had declared their independence from their Presbyterian roots, seeking a fresh start to restore the New Testament church, and abandoning creeds. The names "Church of Christ," "Christian Church" and "Disciples of Christ" were adopted by the movement because they believed these terms to be biblical. A split occurred between those who used musical instruments in worship and those who chose to sing "a cappella" because the use of instruments is not mentioned in the New Testament. It is this latter branch which is the subject of this article. Though officially recognized as distinct movements from 1906, the actual separation of the Churches of Christ from the Christian Churches had already been taking place gradually for decades.
  • Die Gemeinden Christi sind eine christliche Glaubensbewegung autonomer Glaubensgemeinschaften mit stark protestantischem Hintergrund. Sie gehören theologisch zu den Freikirchen. Der Schwerpunkt ihres Glaubensverständnisses ist die absolute Autorität der Bibel als Gottes Wort und die Wiederherstellung des neutestamentlichen Christentums in seiner ursprünglichen Form. Zu ihren markantesten Merkmalen gehören die heilsentscheidende Gläubigentaufe durch Untertauchen, die wöchentliche Feier des Abendmahls, das Ablehnen von Instrumentalmusik im Gottesdienst und eine kongregationalistische Gemeindeorganisation.
  • Se conocen como iglesias de Cristo a las iglesias independientes que se identifican con un movimiento religioso que tiene por objeto restaurar la iglesia tal como se muestra en el Nuevo Testamento de la Biblia. Hacen parte de sucesivos esfuerzos históricos que con esa tendencia han surgido a través del tiempo. El término Iglesia de Cristo es usado también por las Iglesias de Cristo (Iglesia Cristiana). No es claro el porqué de la confusión pero esto se puede deber a que los primeros misioneros que evangelizaron en América latina prefirieron el nombre Iglesia de Cristo (Church of Christ) al de Iglesia Cristiana (Christian Church), ya que ambas tienen su origen común en el llamado Movimiento de Restauración. Cabe mencionar que las Iglesias Cristianas comparten las raíces históricas y doctrinales con los de las Iglesias de Cristo, excepto que si usan instrumentos musicales en la adoración.

  • Churches of Christ avoid the term "theology", preferring instead the term "doctrine": theology is what humans say about the Bible; doctrine is simply what the Bible says.

  • If it's not in the Bible, then these folks aren't going to do it.
  • Members of the church of Christ do not conceive of themselves as a new church started near the beginning of the 19th century. Rather, the whole movement is designed to reproduce in contemporary times the church originally established on Pentecost, A.D. 30. The strength of the appeal lies in the restoration of Christ's original church.

  • To object to any child of God participating in the service on account of his race, social or civil state, his color or race, is to object to Jesus Christ and to cast him from our association. It is a fearful thing to do. I have never attended a church that negroes did not attend.
