The Current Teaching Of The Watchtower Society:
The true Church is made up of the 144,000 individuals purchased from the Earth by Jesus Christ. Those not belonging to the "the church" but who follow the principles set forth by the Watchtower Society are called the "great crowd." They follow the directions of 144,000 in preaching the Good News or Gospel of the Kingdom.
What the Bible Says about THE CHURCH:
| 1. There Is Only One True Church: | |
|---|---|
| All Believers have been baptized into one body | 1Cr 12:13-20 |
| Believers are one in body though they are many in number and diversity | Rom 12:4-8 |
| Though it is difficult to understand (a mystery) all believers are of the same body and follow the same Gospel | Eph 3:5-7 |
| All believers are uniquely and especially joined together | Eph 2:10-22 |
| All believers are one family in Jesus | Gal 3:26-29 |
| All believers are spiritually one, just as Jesus and the Father are one | Jhn 17:11-13 |
| All believers were designed by God to be one body | Col 3:15 |
| 2. There Is Only ONE Gospel Message: | |
|---|---|
| There is only one simple Gospel message which saves men | 1Cr 15:1-14 |
| The one simple Gospel message is frequently distorted | 2Cr 11:3, 4 |
| Any message that alters the simple Bible Gospel is false | Gal 1:8 |
| 3. The True "Witnesses" Are Witnesses Of Jesus: | |
|---|---|
| They practice an earth wide witness of Jesus | Act 1:8 |
| Their message includes salvation in Jesus' name | Act 4:12 |
| Their message includes a confession of Jesus before man | Luk 12:8, 9 |
