"would-be disciples" to be totally committed to Christ. (The church
later becomes known as the Boston Church of Christ.)
∼當時由KIP
MCKEAN 及ELENA MCKEAN 帶領一個小組開始，後成立星期日的聚會，人數由30
人增至11年後的5000 人。

∼1987 年9 月，有一行12

∼至1990年7 月，主日崇拜人數約有500
多人。

神藉著聖靈所默示的，是門徒生命及教會教義的唯一依據。
d.救恩是神的恩典

神的恩典和耶穌基督的寶血，藉著人的信心、順服基督的主權、悔改並且全人受浸，罪才可以得赦免。
e.神在世上建立教會

j.信仰是婚姻的基石

k.傳福音是門徒的使命
∼門徒的職份和使命是「尋找、拯救失喪的靈魂」，使萬民作耶穌基督的門徒。
G.爭議理論
a.要受浸才能得救
Both
believe that a person must be baptized by immersion for forgiveness of sins in
order to be saved, and both practice baptism of adults only -- they do not
baptize infants or children who have not reached "the age of
understanding". The ICC has a unique teaching, though, that a person must
be "baptized as a disciple" in order to be saved.
This means that a person must have what the ICC views as the correct
understanding of baptism at the time of baptism, must have fully repented of
their sins, and must have committed to living as a disciple of Christ, prior to
baptism, or the baptism is invalid and the person unsaved.

Kip McKean Perfectly

b.要遵行主吩咐作真門徒才得救
"I
taught what was clear in Acts 11:26: SAVED = CHRISTIAN = DISCIPLE, simply
meaning that you cannot be saved and you cannot be a true Christian without
being a disciple also. I taught that, to be baptized, you must first make
the decision to be a disciple, and then be baptized.... I taught that their
baptism was invalid because a retroactive understanding of repentance and
baptism was not consistent with Scripture."
-- Kip McKean Revolution
through Restoration Discipleship Magazine, April
1992
c.是唯一教會
There
are several things that make us unique. First, we are committed to continually
searching the Bible for truth about our lives and God's will for us as His
church.
Second,
we believe and expect every member of the church to be fully committed to living
according to that truth. These convictions, as straightforward and obvious as
they may seem, do not characterize the convictions of most of the religious
world around us. To our knowledge, we are the only group that teaches the
biblical principle of discipleship as a necessary part of the salvation process.
We believe that an individual is not a candidate for baptism, and,
therefore, salvation, unless he or she is ready to repent of sin and make the
commitment to live each day of his or her life as a disciple of Jesus Christ.
