New Testament Church of God IWC

The term “church” is used more than 100 times in various contexts in the New Testament. It is derived from the Greek term ekklesia, which is made up of two Greek terms that indicate “a gathering” and “to call out” or “the ones who have been called out,” respectively. New Testament Christians are a group of individuals who God has called out of the world to live as his people under the rule of Jesus Christ.

The church has benefited from God placing all things under the rule of Christ and elevating him to the position of head over all things. And the church is his body; it is made whole and complete by Christ, who fills everything with himself and all things with himself.

No exception can be made in the case of the phrase ” Testament church.” For the most part, this statement is as incomprehensible to the unbeliever as the phrase “left-handed monkey wrench” is to the majority of our ladies. Even within the Christian community, there is a significant deal of disagreement over what this phrase means. It likely expresses the concept of Bible-believing or New Testament teaching in the denominational and Bible church groups.

Nevertheless, if being a New Testament church is a goal we strive for, we must have a more succinct description in mind. To address this issue, you would want to make an effort to explain what a New Testament church should look like. We will strive to provide an overview or general description during our initial communication, and then we will go much more precise in succeeding messages.
