2x2s believe that they are the ONE TRUE CHURCH because of how their ministers live and because they meet in homes rather than church buildings. "The church in the home is a part of Jesus, just
as the ministry is a part of Jesus,
and you cannot have the blood of Jesus without accepting all of Jesus...The truth is
the two-and-two ministry and the church meeting in the home." "My hope of salvation is the blood of Christ. But
I would like to explain to you what it means. The blood of Christ is the ministry
and the church in the home. Without the New Testament ministry you don't have
the blood of Christ which includes the church in the home. The forgiveness of
sins is a fringe benefit. " Based on this belief, 2x2s collectively
denounce all other Christian churches as "false." However, they don't just stop
there. Even if another church were to have a similarly organized ministry and
meet in homes, it would still be viewed by them as a "false church." They believe
that they, and only they, are the ONE TRUE CHURCH. If you do not attend their
church, in their mind you are an "outsider." If you once attended their church
but no longer attend, in their mind you have "lost out." Who are the Two-by-Twos? The Christian Convention Church, known by others as the "Two-by-Twos" is a secretive pseudo-Christian gathering of well-meaning folks, most of whom are clueless as to the history and factual truth about their church. It is interesting to note that the members call their group the "truth," instead of Jesus himself, as written in John 14:6.Most members subscribe to the notion that their little church is "from the beginning," implying direct ministerial lineage from the 12 disciples of Christ. Thanks to the internet and the free proliferation of previously-hidden facts, the group had to slightly revise its story by saying that their ministry is "from the beginning" and that it was recently revived in the present time. This revision contradicts their own insistence that the "truth" is unchanging, or has "always been on the earth." If the "truth" is truly unchanging, the revision of their history would be unnecessary. The church's nickname is a derivative of the manner in which its ministers (known as "workers") travel about in pairs, going "two and two" as described by either Mark 6 or Luke 10. At some point, the nickname became "Two-by-Two." Church members are quick to point out that the phrase "two by two" is not in the bible, thus the name is invalid. What they fail to note is that the word "convention" (a 4-day annual gathering that all members are expected to attend) is not in the bible either. Hmmm... TLT Home | Contact TLT | Top of Page |
