that you can be a member of the New Testament
church. It sin’t a denomination. As Jesus Christ

lost in the fall of religion away from the simple
principles of New Testament Christianity. The
hope of the world from Adam down to Christ
rested in Jesus’ restoration. The hope of the
world in this day rests in the restored New
Testament church.
