  • Die Internationalen Gemeinden Christi sind ein aus den Gemeinden Christi entstandener Gemeindeverband in der Tradition des Restoration Movement.
  • Kristi Forsamling (International Churches of Christ, ICC, ICOC) har sine røtter i den amerikanske Restaurasjonsbevegelsen fra attenhundretallet. International Churches of Christ er en bevegelse som søker en tilbakevending til det første århundrets kristendom ved å holde Bibelen opp som kilden til kirkens myndighet. I Skandinavia er kirken best kjent som Kristi Forsamling. Bevegelsen er en internasjonal samling av autonome, ikke-tverrkirkelige, religiøst konservative og rasemessig integrerte kristne menigheter, en avlegger fra Mainline Church of Christ. Mange medlemmer har blitt vunnet blant unge mennesker. Fra kritisk hold har det blitt hevdet at menigheten kontrollerer hvert enkelt medlem. Kirkene vektlegger bruk av kun Det nye testamentet for doktriner, kirkelig struktur og moralske overbevisninger, samtidig som at Det gamle testamentet også Guds Ord, er historisk korrekt, og at dets prinsipper er sanne og nyttige, men at dets lover ikke er bindende under den nye pakt i Kristus med mindre annet er undervist i Det nye testamentet.
  • The International Churches of Christ (typically abbreviated to ICOC) is a body of co-operating (self classified see www. icocco-op. org) non-denominational, religiously conservative, and racially integrated Christian congregations, an offshoot from the Mainline Churches of Christ. Sometimes called the Boston Movement because of its early ties to the Boston Church of Christ, it is a controversial restorationist Church which branched from the mainline Churches of Christ in the late 1980s under the leadership of Kip McKean. The ICOC regards its interpretation of New Testament of the Bible as the supreme authority on doctrine, ecclesiastical structure, and moral beliefs — while acknowledging the historical accuracy and divine inspiration of the Old Testament — and thus claim the distinction of being "pre-denominational". Members of the International Churches of Christ generally emphasize their intent to simply be part of the original church established by Jesus Christ in his death, burial, and resurrection, which became evident on the Day of Pentecost as described in Acts 2. Once the fastest-growing Christian movement in the United States, membership growth slowed during the late 1990s. McKean was removed from Leadership in 2002 and Henry Kreite's letter of 2003 sparked internal reform and restructuring. Even so, the ICOC still boasts nearly 100,000 members in 160 nations around the world. Its once assertive recruitment methods, high commitment expectations of members, and retaining the use of "discipling" partnerships have caused some researchers, observers, and ex-members between 1996 and 2001 to label the organization a cult, in the broader sense of extreme devotion to a set of beliefs. Historically church officials have been unapologetic for their energetic evangelism, believing this to be the duty of all true Christians, but have renounced any allegations of impropriety as unfounded. In recent years a faction has emerged within the global movement which acknowledges these critiques and advocates reform — a process already undertaken by many congregations, some of which have seceded, others which have remained affiliated with the ICOC but revised their policies. A few local churches have become autonomous after the recent disbandment of the old central leadership, and today it is difficult to make any generalizations about the organization collectively. A new leadership structure based on "service teams" now provides global leadership The Churches emphasize the use of the New Testament to find doctrine, ecclesiastical structure, and moral beliefs, while maintaining that the Old Testament, the only Testament recognized in Judaism, is also the Word of God, is historically accurate, and that its principles remain true and beneficial, but that its laws are not binding under the new covenant in Christ unless otherwise taught in the New Testament.

  • Les Églises du Christ internationales sont un mouvement religieux chrétien, issues du Mouvement de Boston qui commença vers 1979 avec Kip McKean comme évangéliste le plus connu. Les Églises du Christ internationales, appelées parfois de façon erronée Église internationale du Christ, font partie d'un mouvement plus large, les Églises du Christ, et ont reconnu avoir connu une dérive autoritaire avant une période de réforme commencée en 2003. Des églises du mouvement portent ou portaient les noms de Église du Christ de Boston, Église du Christ de Paris (1986), Église du Christ de Lyon (1992), etc.
