A CHURCH of Christ is an association of men and women who, from the heart, have believed the good news concerning the Kingdom of God and the Name of Christ; and with the mouth have confessed that the Lord, even Jesus, is he; and have therefore been immersed into the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, that in the act of immersion their previous faith may be counted to them for righteousness or remission of sins, and their antecedent faithful, loving, and self-denying disposition may be granted to them of God for repentance. Such an association is an "heritage of God," even though "false brethren may have crept in unawares." Can any one give a more scriptural definition of a Christian church than this?
