The Difference Between The New Testament Church And Most Modern Day Churches

The main difference between the church in the Bible and almost all churches today is the emphasis in God’s word that obedience is necessary to salvation. Almost all current day churches compromise that truth. Many times this results in teaching that baptism is not necessary to salvation, and that once saved always saved is true. If obedience is not necessary to salvation, those false doctrines would be true, but …

· Heb 5:9 And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him.

· Matt 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven

· I Pet 1:22 Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth

· James 2:24 Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.

· II Thess 1:8 In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.

· Rev 22:14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life.

· II Cor 5:10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.

Gal 6:7 Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. (NKJV)
