QUESTION: Would you inform me about the organization and the worship
of the church?
ANSWER: The church of the Bible is called the church(es) of Christ (Romans
16:16). The head of the church is Jesus Christ (Ephesians 1:22). Each
congregation is self-ruling and overseen by a plurality of elders, independent of
all other congregations. By this we understand that there is no higher governing
body on this earth. Deacons are to serve the congregation under the oversight of
the elders. Evangelists are to proclaim the Word (II Timothy 4:1-5). A religious
group without this prescribed organization cannot be the church of the Bible!
Worship services on the first day of the week consist of praying, singing (without
instruments), partaking of the Lord’s Supper (every first day), preaching, and
contributing as prospered by God (Acts 2:42; Acts 20:7; I Corinthians 16:1-2;
Ephesians 5:19). To be pleasing to God, all of these items must be engaged in,
with nothing added.
Terms of entry into the church of the Bible are: believing in Christ as the Son of
God; repenting of all past sins; confessing with the mouth belief in Jesus; being
immersed in water for the remission of sins (John 8:24; Acts 17:30-31; Romans
10:9-10; Acts 2:38). After having done this, one must be faithful unto death to
receive the crown of life (Revelation 2:10).
