Example text
This book will illustrate how, in many cases, churches split off from a parent denomination because of differences in belief and/or practices, thereby giving rise to entirely new denominations. FAST FACTS ON Church Attendance • According to the New Testament, church attendance is not merely optional—it is vital. ” • Scripture describes the Christian life as being lived in the context of the family of God and not in isolation (Acts 2; Ephesians 3:14-15). • By attending church, believers become equipped for the work of ministry (Ephesians 4:12-16).
Perseverance of the saints Those who are genuine believers will endure in the faith to the end. The earliest Baptist churches on American soil were founded by Roger Williams (Providence, Rhode Island, 1639) and John Clarke (Newport, Rhode Island, 1648). By the 1680s, the Baptists had infiltrated the middle colonies, and in 1714 the first Baptist church was founded in the South. As was true in England, these first Baptist churches in America were Arminian in theology. They believed people were given a free will by God so they could freely choose for or against the gospel, as opposed to the strict predestination view of Calvinists.
The one universal church is represented by many local churches scattered throughout the world. For example, we read of a local church in Corinth (1 Corinthians 1:2), and another in Thessalonica (1 Thessalonians 1:1). Only a few local churches existed at first, but due to the missionary efforts of the early Christians, churches soon cropped up around the globe. FAST FACTS ON the Church The New Testament strongly urges believers to attend local churches. Hebrews 10:25 specifically instructs us not to forsake meeting together.
