Cosa Significa Chiesa Cristiana Evangelica?
We believe the church is a worldwide community of those who confess faith in Jesus Christ as the Messiah, God incarnate, born of the virgin Mary, lived, died, and rose again on the third day for the forgiveness of sins.
The New Testament has many ways of referring to the church, the main way being the greek word "ekklesia", which simply means "assembly" and is found all throughout the New Testament to refer to the gather body of believers.
The New Testament also refers to the church metaphorically, those being:
-
The Body of Christ (Eph. 1:23; Col. 1:18, 1 Cor. 12:27)
-
The Temple of the Holy Spirit (1 Cor. 3:16, Ephesians 2:21, 22, 1 Pet. 2:5)
-
The New Jerusalem (Gal. 4:26, Heb. 12:22, Rev. 21:2, 9, 10)
-
Pillar and buttress of the truth (1 Tim. 3:15)
The New Testament gives us the image of the church as a universal body of believers in Jesus, united in Him as the head.
This community of believers naturally found itself spread out over all the world, and though we are now often separated by distance, we believe we are united by the Holy Spirit and the truth of the gospel.
That being said the church is not a place nor is it an institution in which one must find themselves a certain amount of times throughout the year in order to stay a member. The church is not a place where one must do certain things in order to maintain a right standing in the eyes of the institutional authorities, but simply a community in which one can partake of the love and grace of Jesus Christ among others.
Che Cos'è la CHIESA?
Che Cos'è CRISTIANESIMO?
The Church was first called Christians in Antioch (Acts 11:26) because they followed the teachings of Jesus the Christ. The root of Christian being christ coming from the greek cristos which means anointed one. Eventually the term Christianity was given to the set of beliefs held to by Christians.
Christianity at its base is simply the name given to the belief in Jesus Christ as the Son of God and submission to His teachings as found in the Scriptures, but over the centuries it has come to mean much more than that.
In response to incorrect teachings about Jesus, who he was (and still is), and his teachings, the early church defined certain beliefs one must hold to in order to be considered a Christian. The most important of those being:
-
Monotheism (Belief in only one God)
-
The Trinity (Belief in God as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit)
-
Belief in the hypostatic union (That Jesus is fully God and fully man)
-
Belief in the virgin birth
-
Belief in Jesus' death by crucifixion
-
Belief in Jesus' bodily resurrection
-
Belief in the physical return of Jesus
-
Belief in the resurrection of the dead and future judgement
-
Belief that Jesus is the only means by which one can receive salvation
This may seem restrictive, and it's meant to be that way. A church divided on topics as great as these cannot stand and maintain unity. For that reason the early believers set a standard which today helps unify churches divided by the non-essential beliefs and set us apart from those who might claim to be Christian in some sense but deny Christianity's core beliefs (Jehovah's witnesses, Mormons, Oneness Pentecostals).
As the history of the church has progressed there have been many moments of division due to theological disagreements, that though they were not listed as the absolute core beliefs of Christianity, are still significant enough to have created major divisions in the church.
We believe that when Jesus chose his twelve disciples he did so for a reason, that these men, apart from Judas, though Matthias would replace him, would bring the early church from its infancy to maturity. They would not do this by their own strength or power however, but by the power of the Holy Spirit given to them in the upper room on the day of Pentecost (Acts 2). Later we see one more man chosen by Jesus to lead the church in Acts 9, the apostle Paul. Through these men and the Holy Spirit working through them the early church communities throughout the Mediterranean were founded and more communities through those communities and so on until we find ourselves where we are today. As a fruit of these early endeavors by the apostles we have the writings of the New Testament scriptures, which is our standard, along with the Old Testament, by which we as evangelicals judge all teachings of the church.
