In practice, though, the ICC believes they are the one and only true Church at present, and that it is highly unlikely, if even possible, for anyone to be saved elsewhere.

What Makes the International Churches of Christ Unique?

There are several things that make us unique. First, we are committed to continually searching the Bible for truth about our lives and God's will for us as His church.

Second, we believe and expect every member of the church to be fully committed to living according to that truth. These convictions, as straightforward and obvious as they may seem, do not characterize the convictions of most of the religious world around us. To our knowledge, we are the only group that teaches the biblical principle of discipleship as a necessary part of the salvation process. We believe that an individual is not a candidate for baptism, and, therefore, salvation, unless he or she is ready to repent of sin and make the commitment to live each day of his or her life as a disciple of Jesus Christ.

Another unique quality of our churches is the diversity found in our fellowship. Sadly, it has been observed that Sunday morning is the most segregated time of the week for most Americans. Most churches only talk about diversity; we live it. We believe that any religious group that allows racial, social or economic segregation does not reflect the unity and love of God our Father and, therefore, cannot be the true church of Jesus Christ. God's true church is made up of all kinds of people, coming together as one common body to share one common love.

回应批评：

The Critics Say: The International Churches of Christ claim that one　must belong to their group to have any chance of going to heaven. How can this be, since they did not even begin until 1979?

WE SAY: Jesus did not mince any words when he talked about his church and following him. He said, “But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it” (Matt. 7:14), and “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who　

does the will of my Father who is in heaven” (Matt. 7:21), and “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me” (John 14:6). As the late, well-known author C. S. Lewis wrote, “the words of Jesus are so radical and extreme that Jesus was either a liar, lunatic or who he claimed to be.”

Jesus did not die to establish hundreds of churches, but only one church (i.e. Matt. 16:18; Eph. 1:22-23: 4:4; Col. 1:18), with a single congregation meeting in each city (i.e. 1 Cor 1:2; 1 Thess. 1:1; Rev. 2:1,8,12,18;3:1,7,14). When Christians walked into Jerusalem, Antioch, Corinth or Rome, they did not have to ask for their kind of church. There was only one and everyone knew who the disciples were (Acts 11:26; 1 Cor. 1:2). Today that one original church has been broken into hundreds of disjointed pieces, contrary to Jesus' dying prayer (John 17: 20-21). Throughout history since the first century, brave men such as Luther, Calvin, Zwingley, Wesley and Campbell have attempted to return to the original church with varying degrees of success. As people would leave the narrow way, God would raise up a remnant to return to be the church Jesus taught about and built with his own blood.

Today there is a tremendous need to return to the basics of Christianity as mandated in the Bible. The vast majority of churches offer a watered-down, ineffective imitation of biblical Christianity that involves varying degrees of commitment. In his latest work, The Second Coming of the Church, George Barna, author of numerous books on trends in society and religion, compares the modern church to the Titanic. “It is large, elegant, and sinking fast.” He reports that the average person in a denomination who “accepts” Christ lasts only eight weeks in a church. Countless studies continue to show that church membership is not even growing as fast as the increase in population, that less than half of those who call themselves Christians even attend within any given week, that less than half of members' children will become members and that the influence of churches on society is ever decreasing. Huston Smith, author of The World's Religions, writes “…mainline Protestant groups are ‘in terrible trouble,' having lost 25% of their membership in the last 25 years.” In 1998, the Southern Baptist Convention board found that fewer than half of the people on the Southern Baptist rolls are in any way active. A study conducted by Christianity Today, an evangelical Christian periodical, revealed that only 1% of its readership had recently shared the gospel with another person.

The International Churches of Christ are not interested in adding another denomination to the already cluttered landscape of dying churches. We are not trying to start a new church. We are calling as many people as possible to become a part of the one and only church that Jesus Christ founded nearly two millennia ago. In 1979, as a small group in Boston, Massachusetts, under the leadership of Kip McKean, we began a determined effort to restore the church that Jesus built. Since that small beginning, we have continued to change according to what we find in the Scriptures about God's purpose and plan for his church. We continue to call all people of the world, in churches and out, to be a part of his church. In that short time, God has blessed the International Churches of Christ to spread into more than 150 nations.

The requirements for membership are no different from those of the first century church. Every member must hold the Bible to be God's inspired word (2 Tim. 3:16). Every member, relying on the grace of God, must accept Jesus, not only as personal savior, but as Lord of every area of his/her life

(Luke 9:23). Every member must be born again (immersed in water as a believing, committed adult for the forgiveness of sins) (John 3:1-5; Acts 2:38). (Link to Baptism Article ). And every member must have the samepurpose as Jesus - “to seek and save the lost.” (Luke 19:10; Heb. 12: 15).

Certainly we do not have a corner on the truth. Our Bible is the same as everyone else's. It is possible for anyone anywhere to read, apply God's word and become Jesus' disciple; however, it is difficult for most people to see through the traditions with which they were raised without someone to help. Some people have become disciples on their own, but they are always eager to unite themselves with a group who is teaching and practicing what they have found to be Christianity according to the Bible. We are aware of no other group anywhere today that teaches and holds to these standards for every member to be a disciple of Jesus Christ and a member of his church. Even our critics say that what we teach is unique in the religious world.

Perhaps our stance seems hard, but we can only follow the path that Jesus prepared, the “narrow road.” Mainstream churches are failing to bring a lost and dying world back to God. Only a total commitment to God and his way, and a total dependence on his power holds any eternal hope for any of us. Check out who we are, what we teach and how we live; and come join us in our quest to be the true church of Jesus Christ.

Revolution Through Restoration

From Jerusalem to Rome, from Boston to Moscow

Restoration in Boston

During my last year in Charleston, the elders of the Lexington Church of Christ in Massachusetts, contacted me to be their pulpit and campus minister. Though this mainline church was desperate as they considered closing their doors because their number had shrunk to about 30, I hesitated for five months. I told the people in that congregation that in order for me to come, every member must vow to become (in the terminology of that day) "totally committed."

On June 1,1979, history was made as 30 would be disciples gathered on a Friday night in the living room of Bob and Pat Gempel. Our collective vision was a church where not only the college students were totally committed, but also the teens, singles, marrieds and senior citizens. This was a radical concept not witnessed in any other church or movement in my experience to this day. Another building block in our ministry came about when Pat Gempel and I had a strong disagreement during our first month. It was quickly settled by Elena, myself and Bob and Pat as we vowed, as the two most influential families in the church, to always be unified in Christ. The four of us became best of friends. This commitment to unity laid the foundation for a great church and a movement that was truly family - the family of God.

As in all families, a commitment to unity is not a onetime event. It is a lifetime process. Satan continually attempts to divide the believers and sow mistrust and insecurity. Elena' s and my relationship with the Gempels taught us how to build and maintain family in the church. (Since then this godly principle has helped us form a team approach to leadership which maximizes the talents and contributions of each leader.) To this very day, our friendship with the Gempels has been nurtured through times of victory and peace as well as misunderstanding and actual conflict. I personally dislike conflict, as most people do, but conflict Scripturally resolved forges closer relationships (Matthew 5:23,24; 18:15-35).

This commitment to honesty, forthrightness and caring has been repeated over and over throughout the Kingdom. "Family" lasts a lifetime and weathers the storms because our foundation is not each other' s perfection, but the rock of Jesus' love and grace. [Now there are over 100 churches! In every one of them there is a different ambience, but every disciple feels at home in any of our congregations, no matter their race, sex or nationality. The unselfish unity and warmth among the churches and their evangelists, elders and other leaders distinguish our movement as disciples. "A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. All men will know that you are my disciples if you love one another" (John 13:34,35).]

Early on I developed a series consisting of nine Bible studies on the "first principles" (Hebrews 6:1-3). The members of the church were called to memorize these studies and then teach others to become Christians. The most impacting was called "Discipleship" where, from my study of Scripture, I taught what was clear in Acts 11:26: SAVED = CHRISTIAN = DISCIPLE, simply meaning that you cannot be saved and you cannot be a true Christian without being a disciple also. I purposely developed this study to draw a sharp biblical distinction between the Lexington (later renamed Boston) Church of Christ and all other groups. I taught that to be baptized, you must first make the decision to be a disciple and then be baptized. I saw that people in and outside of our fellowship had been baptized without this understanding and then, in time, developed a disciple's commitment to make Jesus Lord of their entire life.
