It is known that religions have assumed control of entire nations and countries: Here it is Christendom; there it is Islam; elsewhere it is Hinduism or Buddhism. Thus the South of Europe from Italy to Spain and Portugal is dominated by Catholicism, whereas the North up to Sweden, Norway, and Finland is predominantly Protestant. Looking at North America, the USA and Canada are also greatly influenced by Protestantism, while the countries of South and Central America are shaped by Catholicism. In India it is primarily Hinduism; in the entire Middle East it is Islam and in Asia mainly Buddhism. What all of the religions have in common are promises that have not originated from God and consequently cannot lead to a union with Him. Therefore, it must be made abundantly clear: The salvation of God is not in any religion or church but only in Jesus Christ. All human promises of heaven and of paradise have nothing to do with God. There is only One, namely the Redeemer Himself, Who can say, “Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise.” (Lk 23:43).

Not one of the so-called Christian churches, not the Catholic, or the Orthodox, or the Anglican, or the Lutheran, or the Calvinist, also not the Coptic or any other one, is the Church established by Christ, the Redeemer. Thus the pope, for instance, is indeed the head of the Roman Catholic Church, and the patriarch is the leader of the Orthodox Church, but neither is the head of the Church of Jesus Christ. The Archbishop of Canterbury is indeed the spiritual head of the Anglican Church but not the head of the Church of Jesus Christ. This applies to all Christian denominations that, despite their differences, still have one thing in common with the church of Rome, namely the “Nicene-Chalcedonian Creed.” According to Wikipedia, the first theological prerequisite for membership in the Protestant communities that belong to the World Council of Churches is the “profession of faith in the triune God as expressed in the Bible and in the Nicene-Constantinopolitan Creed.”

But that is not the profession of faith of the Church of the living God. The Church of Jesus Christ believes in the One and Only God as the Bible actually bears witness of Him. She is at all times comprised of Bible believers from all countries, nations, races, and languages. The LORD Himself said, “My kingdom is not of this world …” The Church of the living God is not a state-approved religion but rather forms the body of the LORD, as it is written: “Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.” (1 Cor 12:27). In the one true Church of the redeemed, Jesus Christ is the Head (Eph 4:15), and the Bible as the Word of God is the only authority.
