Church of Christ may refer to:
The Christ (/kraɪst/; Ancient Greek: Χριστός, Christós, meaning "anointed") is a translation of the Hebrew מָשִׁיחַ (Māšîaḥ) and the Syriac (M'shiha), the Messiah, and is used as a title for Jesus in the New Testament. Among Christians, "Christ" is treated as synonymous with Jesus of Nazareth. The followers of Jesus became known as Christians (as in Acts 11:26) because they believed Jesus to be the Christós (from Greek, "Messiah") prophesied in the Greek Old Testament, for example in the Confession of Peter.
Jesus came to be called "Jesus Christ", meaning "Jesus the Christós" (i.e. Jesus, the anointed; or "Jesus, the Messiah" by his followers) after his death and believed resurrection. Before, Jesus was usually referred to as "Jesus of Nazareth" or "Jesus son of Joseph". In the epistles of Paul the Apostle, the earliest texts of the New Testament, Paul most often referred to Jesus as "Christ Jesus", or "Christ". Christ was originally a title, yet later became part of the name "Jesus Christ", though it is still also used as a title, in the reciprocal use Christ Jesus, meaning "The Messiah Jesus".
Church may refer to:
Churches of Christ are autonomous Christian congregations associated with one another through common beliefs and practices. They seek to base doctrine and practice on the Bible alone. They teach that they are the church written in scripture. They teach that any individual, from the time that the Church began until now, can become part of that church by hearing the truth, believing the truth, repenting from their ways to God's ways, confessing that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, and being baptized for the remission of their sins.
Historically, Churches of Christ in the United States have roots in the American Restoration Movement, and were recognized as a distinct religious group by the U.S. Religious Census of 1906. Prior to that all congregations associated with the Restoration Movement had been reported together by the Census Bureau. The Restoration Movement began on the American frontier during the Second Great Awakening of the early 19th century under the leadership of Thomas and Alexander Campbell, Walter Scott, and Barton W. Stone. Those leaders had declared their independence from their Presbyterian roots, seeking a fresh start to restore the New Testament church, and abandoning creeds. They did not see themselves as establishing a new church. Rather, the movement sought the restoration of the church and "the unification of all Christians in a single body patterned after the church of the New Testament." The names "Church of Christ," "Christian Church" and "Disciples of Christ" were adopted by the movement because they believed these terms to be biblical.
In Christianity, the gospel (Greek: εὐαγγέλιον euangélion; Old English: gospel), or the Good News, is the news of the coming of the Kingdom of God (Mark 1:14-15), and of Jesus's death on the cross and resurrection to restore people's relationship with God. It may also include the descent of the Holy Spirit upon believers and the second coming of Jesus.
The message of good news is described as a narrative in the four gospels. The message of good news is described as theology in many of the New Testament letters. It relates to the saving acts of God due to the work of Jesus on the cross and Jesus' resurrection from the dead which bring reconciliation ("atonement") between people and God.
Christian theology describes the Good News of salvation in Jesus Christ not as a new concept, but one that has been foretold throughout the Old Testament and was prophetically preached even at the time of the Fall of Man as contained in Genesis . It is called Proto-Evangelion or Proto-Gospel.
The apostle Paul clearly states that the gospel is the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ. (I Corinthians 15:1-4).

I LOVE being Church of Christ! Youth Group was the best part of my social life growing up & now that I'm at Pepperdine, I couldn't be more excited to call myself COC.

All the people in this go to Pepperdine with me (except for Josh, who's still in high school- he was just visiting campus) FACT: Most people in this video are not Church of Christ. DISCLAIMER: This was (obviously) scripted, so the opinions expressed by people on evolution, anti-women talking, anti-non-KJV Bibles, hating on democrats, etc. aren't the opinions of the people saying the lines. This video is just an encapsilation of general COC opinions I've picked up on over the years. All the different Churches o...

The Gospel of Jesus Christ. Bro. Orpheus J. Heyward preaching in Rogersville, AL at the Southside Church of Christ.
We know that in the Old Testament God's Only people were the Jews, but for the New Testament is God's only people a Christian or the Church of Christ? What does the Bible say? Amos.3:1-3 Hear this word that the LORD hath spoken against you, O children of Israel, against the whole family which I brought up from the land of Egypt, saying, You only have I known of all the families of the earth: therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities. Can two walk together, except they be agreed? Matthew.16:18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. Eph.4:4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; Col.1:18 And he is the head of the body, the church:...

1. Mark 10:10-12 2. Luke 16:18 3. Matthew 5:31-32 4. Matthew 19:1-12
This Church has a brilliant way of manipulating the scripture to gain your interest. They speak some truth and they know the right things to say but they don't do them. They remind me of what Christ said concerning the Pharisees: They say and do not. Their doctrine is all in the name of their CHURCH. They will tell you; there is only one CHURCH: And that Church is the CHURCH OF CHRIST. This is a perfectly true statement. Therefore it is the perfect statement to use to manipulate and deceive you into believing that their Church is the one true Church that Christ said He would build. I must say they also did well in picking the perfect name for their church. The problem is the true Church that belongs to Christ is not recognized by a name. Let me explain. ...

In this video, we specifically look at the false gospel that is taught by the Church of Christ. This church will teach that they have restored the original church began at Jerusalem and that they are not a denomination. They bring in a new set of rules and regulations that keep their members confused and in bondage. They teach a works-based salvation. They will trust in their earthly church as a means to heaven instead of the finished work of Jesus Christ. This often leads to self-righteousness and becoming spiritually blind. If you are a member of the Church of Christ and have no assurance in your salvation, please listen to this video. It is made in love from someone who used to be under the yoke of this false gospel.
