What International churches of Christ believe/Kip McKean Excerpted from the Official, World Headquarters, Creed of: International churches of Christ ICOC (Crossroads, Boston, Kip McKean, Discipling Movement) NOTE: This website is not affiliated with the ICOC and is presenting their beliefs for reference only. "We Believe That: Jesus, the Son of God, is our one and only Lord and Savior, crucified for our sins and physically resurrected from the dead on the third day. The Bible is the only inspired and inerrant message of God. One is saved by the grace of God and the blood of Jesus Christ; and a person must, through faith and obedience, reach out to receive this free gift of salvation. Only baptized disciples are members of Christ's church. After baptism every new Christian needs to be taught or "discipled" by older, more experienced Christians to obey all of Jesus' teachings (Matthew 28:20). Every disciple must be committed to the vision of building churches of disciples -- true churches of Christ -- in every nation on earth." Click Your ... ... https://www.bible.ca/cr-ICOC.htm

Biblical Subordination of God the Son, to God the Father Jn 1:1 says, "and the word was [uncreated] God". However, sometime around the incarnation, Jesus made a choice to submit to the Father as His head. We call this choice, the subordination (or down-ranking) of Christ to the Father. Jesus did not give up being God, He merely began to obey the Father as though He were a creature. This is called "Biblical subordination".

Lesson 19: Baptism Is Immersion In John 3:23 we read, "Now John also was baptizing in Aenon near Salim, because there was much water there." Why was John baptizing near Salim?

And immediately, coming up out of the water, He saw the heavens parting and the Spirit descending upon Him like a dove." When Jesus was baptized, he was baptized in the Jordan River. Why? Again, because there is much water in a river which is required for scriptural baptism, which is immersion. Also notice that after Jesus was baptized, he came "up out of the water." So scriptural baptism not only requires much water, but it also requires "coming up out of the water." This cannot be said of sprinkling or pouring. Next we turn to Acts 8:36-39.

This man had been instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in spirit, he was speaking and teaching accurately the things concerning Jesus, being acquainted only with the baptism of John; and he began to speak out boldly in the synagogue.

Official creed of the Convention Baptist Church Canada initiation into the Church of Jesus Christ is baptism by immersion, because- -only a believer can mean what baptism professes. (Acts 2:38-40) -only immersion can symbolize death and resurrection. (Rom. 6:1-4) Baptists believe that, to be true to the meaning of the Greek word, baptizo, (to immerse or dip,) baptismal candidates should be buried in water and raised up, as our Lord was buried in the tomb and raised from the dead for our salvation. However, while we hold such baptism to be necessary in obedience to the Scriptures, we do not believe that it is necessary for salvation, and we believe that little children (who are not old enough to confess faith in Christ) are safe in the love of God. 4. We believe that the church is composed of believers in Christ, of those who share the Christian experience.

Does Jesus have a human body NOW? Right now Jesus has shed the "body" ("container" for all you comet hail-bopp followers) and is composed 100% of spirit as he was before the incarnation. Right now Jesus does not have flesh, bones or blood, but is wholly a spirit being, as he was before incarnation. Jesus resurrected body is nothing like what our future resurrected body will be like. False view Jesus actually retains some metaphysical qualities of being human right now in heaven ... Jesus resurrected body was in no way distinguishable from any other human body. The counter argument that Jesus body had to be different because he could "walk through walls" is 100% neutralized when we realize that Philip was transported 30 miles instantly in Acts 8 and Jesus was transported to the shore 2 miles away Lk 16:21" They were willing therefore to receive Him into the boat; and immediately the boat was at the land to which they were going."

Lesson 17: Baptized Into Christ ... At that point we begin our walk in newness of life. Newness of life does not begin until after baptism. In John 3:3 Jesus told Nicodemus, "Unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." Then two verses later in John 3:5, Jesus tells how being born again takes place: "Unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God." Our Lord is very emphatic in what he says. No man has the power or authority to repeal what our Lord has said. Nor does anyone have the authority to rationalize it away and teach otherwise. Jesus said that we must be born of water and the Spirit. Jesus said that being born again must not only include the Spirit, but it must include water. Here we see that when one is baptized in water, he is raised to walk in newness of life, becoming a new creature, and thus he has been born again. Are you still an old sinful creature or have you become a new creature by being baptized into Christ? 6) The Apostle Paul says in II Timothy ... ... ...https://www.bible.ca/interactive/salvation-17-baptized-into-christ.htm

Lesson 4: Our Sin Problem When we rationalize away what God says, this is what we are doing. God says that man has a sin problem, but man says that he does not. Who is right and what are we doing to God when we say that we have no sin? Continuing our reading in I John 1:10, "If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us." God is always right when he tells us that we have all sinned. In Romans 6:23 we read, "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life in Jesus Christ our Lord". Death is a separation. When we die physically, our body is placed into the grave, but our spirit is separated from our dead body and goes back to God, who gave it.
