One Faith
To find the one true church, we
need to first understand that the truth of salvation is what defines the
church. Finding the true church does not just mean choosing one congregation
over another, but finding the church that preaches the true gospel. The Bible
tells us that the church is founded on the teachings of the apostles and the
prophets (Ephesians 2:20). It also calls the church "the pillar and
foundation of the truth" (1 Timothy ).
It upholds and proclaims the truth that is taught in the Bible.
"There is one body and one
Spirit, just as you were called to the one hope that belongs to your call, one
Lord, one faith, one baptism" (Ephesians 4:4,5). There is only one gospel
of salvation. Two churches with different beliefs on salvation cannot be both
true, because the true church only has one Spirit, one Lord, one faith, and one
baptism.
Tens of thousands of Christian
churches with different teachings on salvation exist in the world today. It is
necessary for every Christian to seek the one faith that the apostles once
shared and preached, rather than make choices based on factors such as the
quality of the choir or the eloquence of the speaker. In this end time, the
Lord himself has raised up the True Jesus Church to preach the only way of
salvation. We must come into this church by accepting the true gospel and be
baptized into the one body of Christ (see 1 Corinthians ).
