There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all. (Ephesians 4:4-6)

Scripture declares that there is “one body” (Ephesians 4:4) and “one faith” (Ephesians 4:5) , teaching us that there is but “one true church” of the Lord in this world, and one true set of beliefs which it upholds (Ephesians 2:20; Acts 2:42). OneTrueChurch.net’s contributors see that denominationalism, with its inherent divisions and numerous divergent doctrines, is incompatible and irreconcilable with these biblical truths. OneTrueChurch.net was conceived and created by individuals who, though imperfect, seek to follow the Lord’s perfect plan revealed in Scripture. (2 Timothy 3:16, 17) As a result, we acknowledge no creed but Christ, (2 John 1:9) no book but the Bible, (2 Timothy 3:16, 17) and no head, nor headquarters, but what is in Heaven, (Ephesians 1:20-23) thereby disregarding many of the things that divide. Furthermore, we take to heart the Lord’s words: “If you love Me, keep My commandments”, (John 14:15) and realize that our acceptance by Him (being a part of the “one body”) is based on our obedience to Him (accepting the “one faith”) (John 15:10). We seek to keep His commandments, and to speak His truth in love (Ephesians 4:15) that others may do the same.

So, what is the, “one true church”? How do we recognize it? It is the body founded by Jesus and organized by His inspired apostles and prophets. (Ephesians 2:19-22) This body is depicted in the Bible’s New Testament by the Holy Spirit. (John 16:13-14, Ephesians 3:5) The “one true church” consists of believers in Jesus who observe the commandments, examples, and principles of the New Testament. (I Corinthians 4:16-17, 14:37; Philippians 3:17, 4:9; II Peter 3:2; I John 1:1-3) The “one true church” rejects humanity’s doctrines, commandments, traditions, and wisdom. (Matthew 15:3-9, I Corinthians 1:25) Instead, God’s wisdom – the Bible – guides the church into truth, illustrates her structure, identifies those elements essential for salvation. (II Tim. 3:16-17) Are you a part of the, “one true church”? (I Thessalonians 5:21) The Bible alone provides the definitive answer. (Hebrews 4:11-13)

Examine yourselves as to whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Do you not know yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you?–unless indeed you are disqualified. (2 Corinthians 13:5)
