++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Since Israel broke ground a church Covenant, God promised a New Covenant, i.e. Reform Church.

 

Christ laid out the principles for the Foundation of the new Church:

"Therefore whosoever heareth these words of mine and doeth them shall I liken her man reasonable..." (Matt 7.24).

"And adopt a testament to many one week" (Dan 9.27).

 

Repentance and revival of the essence of the necessary conditions for the members of the Church of Christ (Jer 32, Matt 18.3, John 3.3-5).

MUST ABIDE by the LAW, to be accepted into the Church (Jer 31.33, Matt 5.17-19).  MUST KEEP THE SABBATH OF THE LORD.

A candidate must receive Christ as their Savior, because Christ is the rock on which the Church is built (Matt 16.16-18, Acts 4.12, 1 Pet 2.4-8, Col1.17-18).

HE SHOULD BE BAPTIZED (Mark 16.16, Gal 3.27).

He must also observe the Lord's Supper, including footwashing (1 Cor 11.23-26, John 12.28-17).

 

God has different Ministers for the Church. He has appointed in the Church of the prophets (1 Cor. 12.28, Eph 4.11-18).

Tithing is set to keep the Gospel (Matt 23.23, 1 Cor 9.13-14 ; also Num 18.21).

 

What the Lord created for food, should not be banned, but another is forbidden (Gen 1.29, 1 Tim 4.1-6, Acts 15.20).
