  1. Who’s Going to Heaven Will only members of the church of Christ be saved?

  2. Will only members of the church of Christ be saved? No! • Souls that have not sinned • Matt 18:3; 19:14; Mark 10:14; Ezek 18:20: Innocent children, Mentally impaired • Faithful in Patriarchal age • Heb 11:4-22: Abel, Enoch, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph (families) • Faithful in Mosaical age • Heb 11:23-40: Moses (parents), Joshua, Caleb, [Rahab], Judges, Elijah, Elisha, Prophets (families)

  3. Will only members of the church of Christ be saved? • The real question: • “Do you believe I’m lost because I’m a member of another church?” • The best response: • Ask, “How were you saved?” • If the response is, “I prayed the sinners prayer.” • Show them the examples of conversion in Acts.

  4. Will only members of the church of Christ be saved? • “Do you believe that I’m lost because I’m a member of another church?” • One is lost if not baptized into Christ. • One is lost if not added by Christ to His body. • No other religious organization will save. • Jesus & John offended people by telling the truth Matt 15:7-9; Matt 15:11-14

  5. Will only members of the church of Christ be saved? • “Is there only one way to heaven?” • Only one plan saved Noah: God’s plan • Only one plan saved Israel: God’s plan

  6. Will only members of the church of Christ be saved? • “Is there only one way to heaven?” • Only one plan will save us: God’s plan • Only one body (Eph 4:4); One church (Col 1:18); One Savior (Eph 5:23); One kingdom (Col 1:13-14); One Builder (Matt 16:18-19). One Birth of the church (Acts 2).

  7. Turning the tables… • “Is everyone going to heaven?” • Scripture denies universalism, as do most people (John 8:24; Acts 4:12; Matt 7:21; 1 Cor 6:9-11; Matt 25).

  8. Turning the tables… • “Is there forgiveness of sins apart from Christ’s blood?” • His blood provides redemption & justification (Heb 9:11-14; Rom 5:9-10; Eph 1:7). • His blood was the purchase price of the church, the body of the saved (Acts 20:28).

  9. Turning the tables… • “Can we ignore God’s will and be saved?” • Salvation comes after baptism (Acts 2:38). • Baptism unites one with Christ’s death & resurrection (Rom 6:3-6). • Baptism put one into the body of those who will be saved, the church (1 Cor 12:13; Acts 18:8).

  10. Turning the tables… • “Can we be saved outside of Christ?” • Baptism puts one into Christ (Gal 3:27). • Water has always played a role in God’s plan to save man (1 Pet 3:21; Gen 6; 2 Kgs 5). • Christ will come in vengeance against those who do not obey the gospel (2 Thess 1:8).

  11. “Will only the members of the church of Christ be saved?” • No. There will be children, patriarchs, faithful Jews, faithful members of the Lord’s church. • There is only one way to heaven - God’s. • Only one body of saved: the church Jesus built.
