First Off...Welcome to IXTHYE, Children of God, Under Christ ! (This is not a Denominational name.)
We focus not on arguments about scripture but teach the word in its full and adhere to all that the body of Christ is called to adhere to, in full understanding as we were meant to.
From Genesis to Revelation. No single verse lessons.

We Encourage Every Member to Be Active In Fellowship. To those who are here because they lack a local body of believers around them, as well as all others, welcome Brothers and sisters.

We follow no other Doctrine but the old and New Testament. 
No Denomination teachings. Only the word.

We do not argue. If what you are claiming cannot be shown in the bible with more than single verses. Then know we do not accept those who twist the word for their own purpose.

But we encourage coming together as One body. Many members. One Body, In the Lord, Under The Father, And to be of One mind and understanding.
Also in edifying one another as we were taught and told to do so throughout the new testament as well as the Old when the light of Christ is put to it.
 

Be in fellowship with one another. As One.
Remember iron sharpens iron. 
We are not like those that pit arguments, one against another  simply for popularity.
Though we fully encourage everyone to come together and talk openly with one another. 
We host actual lessons and God Willing help you to grow to maturity in Christ.
There are no seeker friendly sermons but true actual lessons in the word, both easy and hard.

We do not adhere to sin acceptance.
Thus it goes without saying we do not support LGBT etc. etc., We fully support any who choose to leave that life of sin for the truth in Christ though, and harbor no hatred.
 

To those with He/Him or SHE/Her as their about me. This distinction is and has only ever been done in support of LGBT among other sins.

You cannot support these things and follow christ, many are unaware of it and where it came from. But I assure you it is not a declaration of gender but done in support of "Not misgendering".
Again if you are coming out of that sin, you are absolutely welcome. 

​

Unlike the 50,000+ Denominations out there, we do away with none of the commandments from Christ due to public opinion or bias. 
That being the law and prophets fulfilled in Love. 
Love as Christ taught, not as the World loves.

We follow According to God through Christ in the Truth of Gods Word in Whole, Alone. No Other Doctrines Or Man Made Denominations. Regardless of age or popularity.

​

Please Understand,  This Does Not Mean We Are Multi-Denominational, we do not follow nor adhere to any Sect Nor Faction, (or as some translate it 'Heresies'  but would prefer all come out of the falsities of Human traditions. This includes Catholicism and Orthodoxy as well as every other Sect/faction/Heresies/Denomination made by Mankind. All 50,000+ of them, including those who claim to be Non-Denominational but Teach via Denominational Doctrine.

​

Galatians 5:16-21

16 I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. 17 For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish. 18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.

19 Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: [d]adultery, [e]fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, 20 idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions,-> heresies<-, 21 envy, [f]murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

​

In-Fact our rules stem purely from the Word . This is an Online Gathering of the body, we have no rules aside from those outlined in the Word meant for the body. Aside from those pertaining particularly to the issues with open online forums.
They are as follows:

​

1: NO ARGUMENTS.

This is one of the main ways we differ from every other Christian server and sadly many churches today. We do not hold to debates or arguments simply for the sake of having the Forum seem active. Or the "Churches" who support arguements for the sake of as they say 

"healthy debate" of which there are few things less healthy than debating the open and manifest scriptures.
2 Timothy 2:22-26

​

22 Flee the evil desires of youth and pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace, along with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart. 23 Don’t have anything to do with foolish and stupid arguments, because you know they produce quarrels. 24 And the Lord’s servant must not be quarrelsome but must be kind to everyone, able to teach, not resentful. 25 Opponents must be gently instructed, in the hope that God will grant them repentance leading them to a knowledge of the truth, 26 and that they will come to their senses and escape from the trap of the devil, who has taken them captive to do his will.

​

As well as many other places in Proverbs and Psalms and Other places throughout the Old Covenant, and the New Covenant.

​

2: NO DIVISIVENESS. 
Those who depart from the truth in favor of man-made theology perverting the Truth of the Good News through Christ and attempt to mislead others towards that end. In creating Divisions/Sects/Factions/Heresies/Denominations.

You will be given 2 warnings, we want to give you every chance.
Romans 16:17-19

17 I urge you, brothers and sisters, to watch out for those who cause divisions and put obstacles in your way that are contrary to the teaching you have learned. Keep away from them. 18 For such people are not serving our Lord Christ, but their own appetites. By smooth talk and flattery they deceive the minds of naive people. 19 Everyone has heard about your obedience, so I rejoice because of you; but I want you to be wise about what is good, and innocent about what is evil.

Titus 3:9-10 As well as many others

 

3: LET THE WORD CHANGE YOU. DO NOT SEEK TO CHANGE THE WORD.
You cannot change the word based on how it makes you feel. We are to be changed by the word, not seek to change it toward our desires.
There are no private interpretations of scripture for Elders (Presbyters) in the church nor other brothers and sisters. The word means what it means and does not depend on any other doctrine or opinion.
2 Peter 1:16-21

​

16 For we did not follow cleverly devised stories when we told you about the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ in power, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty. 17 He received honor and glory from God the Father when the voice came to him from the Majestic Glory, saying, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased.”[b] 18 We ourselves heard this voice that came from heaven when we were with him on the sacred mountain.

19 We also have the prophetic message as something completely reliable, and you will do well to pay attention to it, as to a light shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts. 20 Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet’s own interpretation of things. 21 For prophecy never had its origin in the human will, but prophets, though human, spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.

​

2 Peter 3:14-18

14 So then, dear friends, since you are looking forward to this, make every effort to be found spotless, blameless and at peace with him. 15 Bear in mind that our Lord’s patience means salvation, just as our dear brother Paul also wrote you with the wisdom that God gave him. 16 He writes the same way in all his letters, speaking in them of these matters. His letters contain some things that are hard to understand, which ignorant and unstable people distort, as they do the other Scriptures, to their own destruction.

17 Therefore, dear friends, since you have been forewarned, be on your guard so that you may not be carried away by the error of the lawless and fall from your secure position. 18 But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and forever! Amen.

​

as well as the whole of scripture.

​

4: WHAT IS SIN IS SIN.
We have no teachings outside of the word, outside of the word of God spoken through Christ. In full. (Old and New Testament.)
There is no sin acceptance here. Rather we encourage the members of the body to flea Sin of all kinds, including and especially that of sexual immorality. We do not and infact CANNOT hate the sinner any more than we can hate ourselves. For we are each called to love one another, even those who call themselves our enemies. And were forgiven ourselves for like sins. 
We are not LGBTQ Friendly, but rather friendly to those who were trapped in that sin, and are seeking help to find the truth, in christ.

If a member sins we do all we can to bring them back. If there is true repentance then know that you are forgiven, if there is any sin done against any member, we will forgive you as a group. As the word says to do.

James 5:13-20

​

13 Is anyone among you in trouble? Let them pray. Is anyone happy? Let them sing songs of praise. 14 Is anyone among you sick? Let them call the elders of the church to pray over them and anoint them with oil in the name of the Lord. 15 And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise them up. If they have sinned, they will be forgiven. 16 Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.

17 Elijah was a human being, even as we are. He prayed earnestly that it would not rain, and it did not rain on the land for three and a half years. 18 Again he prayed, and the heavens gave rain, and the earth produced its crops.

19 My brothers and sisters, if one of you should wander from the truth and someone should bring that person back, 20 remember this: Whoever turns a sinner from the error of their way will save them from death and cover over a multitude of sins.

​

Matthew 18:15-20
(And many other places)

​

5: NO CHERRYPICKING VERSES:
This goes along with the rule of the Divisive, if you must pick a single verse and ignore all surrounding scripture to make your point, then you willingly twist scripture to your own desire. Which should need no explanation. but is also shown throughout scripture as to why that is damnable.

​

6: FELLOWSHIP :
While we are not your average Christian server, we do still wholeheartedly encourage fellowship with one another, feel free to speak openly in either the Congregation Chatroom or In the Groups section.
The Body is not a single member but many members. None of which act independently of the other, rather all are strengthened by one another. 
While this is not a hangout chat room. We still encourage everyone to come together and be active.
True fellowship in the lord is praying for one another and sharpening one another's faith and helping eachother grow and offering strength to help the weaker members. Or with whatever is needed by said members.
Be it any kind of Help. That is to those members vetted and proven not to be scammers here for donations.

Here  you will also learn the full truth of Fellowship and not that taught of the world, in attending bake sales, meal functions etc.

(To those who are here to scam money you will be exposed publicly.)

​

7: HUMILITY:

We are to regard one another with humility. Not thinking more of ourselves than is given. None are to be above another, even among the Deacons (diakonos) and Overseers (elders)
Regard one another in humility, for it is the humble who receives the blessings of God. 
Examine yourselves to know if you are truly in the faith or show false humility. And know that the Lord who sees all knows the difference. 

​

1 Peter 5:5-11

5 Likewise you younger people, submit yourselves to your elders. Yes, all of you be submissive to one another, and be clothed with humility, for

“God resists the proud,
But gives grace to the humble.”

6 Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, 7 casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.

8 Be [c]sober, be [d]vigilant; [e]because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. 9 Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world. 10 But [f]may the God of all grace, who called [g]us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, [h]perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you. 11 To Him be the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.

​

8: MONEY DONATED 
We take the same stance that Paul took with many of the churches, in deciding not to take from those of the body. Due to it being misconstrued after so many false prophets using the word Tithe to rob Christs flock of every loose penny. However the Full teaching of what was actually taught by Tithes as well as what was fully explained by Christ and Paul as well as the Old Testament Alike. A hint being that it isnt taught in mainstream denominations but rather covered with the hand with spread fingers to let you read only portions. One bit at a time.
 
We will EVENTUALLY accept donations or donation leads to help those in need. See Matthew 25:31-46 for a few of the things it goes to. We take no wages for multiple reasons.
Regardless of title in the body, so those who may in the future seek to be servants of the body in thinking there to be payment in it. Think again.

​

9: SPIRITUAL MILK/SOLID FOOD:
Most every church you’ve been to will teach only the basics, the commandments, faith in God, leaving dead works (works of the flesh). Even Eternal judgement, teaching of baptisms etc. 
There will be those among you who are spiritual infants,  as we all once were. Of course there will be lessons for you to build on your foundation (Christ) properly, but also many lessons will consist of teachings in spiritual maturity, being equipped for every Good work. Branching in teaching, some of spiritual gifts (all shown through the word so none are puffed up in their head assuming to have what they do not)
Going forward in the faith, is the goal of every follower of Christ and true child of God. Moving forward in maturity to produce good fruit as we all should.
Signs of spiritual infancy

1 Corinthians 3:1-4

 

3 And I, brethren, could not speak to you as to spiritual people but as to carnal, as to babes in Christ. 2 I fed you with milk and not with solid food; for until now you were not able to receive it, and even now you are still not able; 3 for you are still carnal. For where there are envy, strife, and divisions among you, are you not carnal and [a]behaving like mere men? 4 For when one says, “I am of Paul,” and another, “I am of Apollos,” are you not carnal?

Things to move beyond towards Maturity. 
Hebrews 6:1-3

​

6 Therefore, leaving the discussion of the elementary principles of Christ, let us go on to [a]perfection, not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God, 2 of the doctrine of baptisms, of laying on of hands, of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment. 3 And this [b]we will do if God permits.

​

10: ALL THINGS TAUGHT IN LOVE.
If you have a scripture to share once you know it is the fullness of that word, teach it in LOVE. Not to show that you have more knowledge. Knowledge puffs up but love builds up.
In all that we do, if it is not done in love, it is useless.
Christ fullfilled the Law With Love. Righteous Love. Not the love of desires of the flesh nor individual Idea. But perfect unhypocritical love. In full observance of the commandments given of love by The Father Through Christ. For God Is Love, But Not As The World Teaches.
See the entirety of scripture for this one..

​

-------------------------------------------

​

We do not, cannot and will not accept Sin into the body of christ. Not to say we never sin, but we do not condone choosing to walk in it. But to grow in the strength of the spirit means to daily die to the flesh and the desires of it 

You cannot choose sin and the Lord, you cannot walk in sexual immorality, idolatry, anger, hatred, selfishness, drunkenness (of all kinds), sorcery, adultery, impurity etc.
If you choose to walk with the Lord.

If you are here to leave that all behind to follow the truth...then you are welcome  
You may stumble, but if you truly repent and turn away from it. It will happen less and less until you view any temptation towards it as something to be fled from. 
In a hurry.
All are here to become mature in the faith and well equipped for every good work. If God Wills it and Allows.

​

Posting endless memes with single verses and AI pictures 
And arguments over simple facts, should be avoided, and will end in removal if continued.
None of the above aids in maturing faith or following the Lord. 
This is an Online congregation.
Ekklesia. translated as Church in Scripture but meaning Gathering of the Chosen,

We follow the word in its entirety. Not the Old covenant but all the lessons and teachings that come with the Old testament. And shown in the entirety of the New testament of Jesus Christ.

We deny none of the Gospel, which includes teachings of Baptism by word and water, laying on of hands, Good works, the truth of Grace, Faith and love, The Holy spirit and All others as shown through scripture.
And all that is needful to grow mature in Christ. 
Through only scripture in full and the dwelling of the Holy spirit within each of us when we accept Jesus Christ and beleive with a willingness to Obey him.
