Since he wants his reputation to be known, so be it. Let's dive into one of his stupidities and arrogant posts, and how this guy was so unlearned about his own religion's teachings.
Ok, so let's dive -

| One of the arrogant posts from the INC Minister who hides its account. Sorry, but what I'm thinking you missed the right verse. This is supposed to be at The Acts 20:28 not the Acts 20:17. Or maybe I'm not updated? 😂😂😂 |
The Church of Christ
- Romans 16:4 Churches of the Gentile
- Romans 16:16 Churches of Christ (Owned by INC 🤣)
- 1 Corinthians 11:16 Churches of God
- 1 Corinthians 14:33 Churches of the Saints
- 1 Corinthians 16:1 Churches of Galatia (Galatians 1:2)
- 1 Corinthians 16:19 Churches of Asia (see list below)
- Revelation 1:11
- - Ephesus
- - Smyrna
- - Pergamos
- - Thyatira
- - Sardis
- - Philadelphia
- - Laodicea.
- 2 Corinthians 8:1 Churches of Macedonia
- Galatians 1:22 Churches of Judaea (possibly the first organized group)
- 1 Thessalonians 2:14 Churches of God in Judaea
- Some others - Acts 15:41 Syria and Cilicia
- Does it say about a certain church name to be saved or a certain church that was purchased by God through His Blood?
- There are lots of them, so which one could be the right name?
Can you cite your answer here, Job Bautista? I'm pretty sure you'd read my blog. Use the comment to post your answer if you can.
Organization
And this one seems to be the very interesting part. If you came up to read those verses that I posted, their mission was to establish a Church in certain areas, and a Church is not basically a structure that was named or registered in a government organization, but rather a group of people organized to establish the kingdom of God through teaching the Gospel.
In dictionary terminology, the word Church in Capital form simply means a body, group, or organization of religious believers.
The Book of Mormon, which our Friend Job Bautista was trying to disprove, was just simply a group of people who made covenants and believed in the atonement of Christ; that is why these people were called the Church of Christ.
The one church is the whole body gathered together from all ages — J. H. Newman
Here's some of the text and notice the highlighted for you Job Bautista, to see your foolishness (Mosiah 18:1,17-18 see below) -
1 And now, it came to pass that Alma, who had fled from the servants of king Noah, repented of his sins and iniquities, and went about privately among the people, and began to teach the words of Abinadi—....17 And they were called the church of God, or the church of Christ, from that time forward. And it came to pass that whosoever was baptized by the power and authority of God was added to his church.18 And it came to pass that Alma, having authority from God, ordained priests; even one priest to every fifty of their number did he ordain to preach unto them, and to teach them concerning the things pertaining to the kingdom of God.
So here are some points you need to ponder, Job Bautista -
- Was it all about the registered church name?
- No, Alma, who served the wicked kin,g repented and went away to the people to spread the Gospel.
- How did they call a Church?
- Simple, they organized and they called others to teach the people about the Kingdom of God.
- So, was it church name a necessity to be saved?
- No, it's not how it says, but rather the Organization that has the authority to perform sacred things for salvation, such as baptism.

| Sorry, try again to convince me. You must have a better understanding of your teaching rather than declaring someone's faith to be false. Nice try. |

| Sorry, will you repeat that using official translation? |
Acts20:28 Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.
You always use that translation to avoid the conflict. But we are not as foolish as you are.
