"For a long time in the Church of Christ... [people] were taught... the five point plan of salvation -- hear, believe, repent, confess, and be baptized.... I believe an essential element has not been emphasized in the area of repentance.... We need to get it straight, who is a candidate for baptism. It is the individual who is a disciple... There has become an innate doctrinal difference, but they [the mainline Churches of Christ] don't recognize it because it looks like a methodology."

-- Kip McKean　Perfectly United　 1987 Boston Women's Retreat

"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 taught that, to be baptized, you must first make the decision to be a disciple, and then be baptized.... I taught that their baptism was invalid because a retroactive understanding of repentance and baptism was not consistent with Scripture."

-- Kip McKean　Revolution through Restoration　Discipleship Magazine, April 1992

It believes that the Great Commission of Christ, as stated in Matthew 28:18-20, applies equally to all believers and mandates that each member engage in aggressive, active proselytizing ("evangelism") as their primary personal responsibility before God. They also believe that proselytizing non-members is the primary responsibility of the church as a whole.

Based also on Matthew 28:18-20, the ICC believes in a system of discipling, which means that every member is assigned another member as a mentor, to whom he/she reports, confesses sin, and which he/she is expected to obey and emulate.

-- Kip McKean　Discipleship Partners　 1988 Boston Leadership Conference

-- Teresa Ferguson　 Boston Bulletin, October 22, 1989

Both believe the Bible sets out the proper structure for the Church. In no other area, though, has the ICC moved farther from its roots in the mainline Churches of Christ. The mainline Churches of Christ are all independent bodies ruled either by a group of older men in the congregation (called "elders") or by the men of the congregation as a whole. The evangelist or minister is subordinate to the elders or the men of the congregation. The mainline Churches of Christ object vociferously to any earthly authority outside of or above the local congregation.

The ICC has a hierarchy frequently compared to that of the Roman Catholic Church. In fact, the ICC's hierarchy has far more control over its members in far more ways than the Catholic Church's heirarchy has had in history or at present, and ICC congregations have little autonomy or control over their own affairs. In ICC congregations, the evangelist leads. Elders are subordinate to him in fact, if not theory. Many large, old ICC congregations do not even have elders.

"The evangelist without elders in the congregation is the authority of God in the congregation. The only time he is not to be obeyed is when he calls you to disobey Scripture or disobey your conscience, and even if he calls on you to do something that disobeys your conscience, you still have an obligation to study it out and prayerfully change your opinion so that you can be totally unified."

-- Kip McKean　 Why Do You Resist the Spirit?　 1987 World Mission Seminar

Because the ICC believes in following the "Bible only", it denies the validity of human interpretations of the Bible. This does not prevent it from interpreting the Scriptures, of course. The ICC does not recognize that their interpretations of Scripture are interpretations, however, and insists that they are simply statements of what the Scriptures teach and which no honest person could disagree with.

Due to its insistence on "perfect unity", its rejection of interpretation and ambiguity, and its insistence that all must understand the Holy Scriptures in the same way it does, the ICC believes and teaches that only ICC members are saved. Most ICC members will, if pressed by an outsider, avoid stating this or soften it by insisting that there may be some people who came to the correct conclusions about the Bible outside of the ICC. 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.”
