(3)Christian Church

The Christian Church was formed when 
it apostatized from the church of Christ. 
The apostasy began to occur when the "American
 Christian Missionary Society" was formed in October 1849. 

The next apostasy occurred in 1859 when the instrument of music began to be added. The Christian Church in trying to justify 
their use of instrumental music and the other things 
they have added, take the position that if God does not 
condemn a thing then it is all right to do it. 

Also the Christian Church specializes in choirs, solos, 
and other special elaborate ceremonies with the purpose to draw a crowd with their entertainment. They follow the practice of 
all the other denominations in religiously observing special days 
such as: Easter, Christmas, etc. 

But the Lord authorized His church to observe the first day of 
the week when the Lord’s Supper is observed. 
The Bible condemns the religious observance of special days. 
"You observe days and months and seasons and years. 
I am afraid of you lest I have labored for you in vain"
 (Galatians 4:10-11). 
But Jesus says "And in vain they worship Me, teaching as 
doctrines the commandments of men" (Mark 7:7). 
When worship is vain, it is useless and will cause one 
to be eternally lost in Hell. Christian Church preachers wear 
the name "Reverend" and are referred to as "Pastor". 
Only God deserves to be called reverend for we read in 
Psalms 111:9 KJV concerning God, 
"Holy and reverend is His name.
 Most Christian Churches fellowship the other denominational 
churches and some have women as preachers or pastors. 
Today they have developed into two main groups: 
the Independent Christian Church and the more 
liberal Disciples Of Christ. Jesus says, 
"Every plant which My heavenly Father has not 
planted will be uprooted" (Matthew 15:13).
 Even though the Christian Church baptizes for the
 remission of sins, their "baptism" is a false baptism 
because it puts one into a false apostate body. 
We read in 1 Corinthians 12:13

"For by one Spirit were we all baptized into one body". 
The Lord only has one spiritual body (Ephesians 4:4)
which is His one church (Ephesians 1:22-23), 
which He is going to save (Ephesians 5:23). 
None of the multitude of denominational churches, 
including the Christian Church, belong to the Lord.
