ONE Faith, Many Religions

There are many religions (as an example - Gal.1:13 below, the Jews’ religion), but only ONE faith (Eph.4:5 below).

When we are baptized by the Holy Spirit into Christ Jesus we BECOME a “new creature” (2 Cor.5:17, Gal.6:15 below). We become, individually, as well as collectively, the living body of Christ (Col.1:24 below). We BECOME the church of God (1 Cor.10:32 below), the ONE faith (Eph.4:5 below).

The believer in Christ Jesus is of the “new covenant” (Heb.10:16-17, Jer.31:33) brought forth by ONE SACRIFICE, the blood of Christ Jesus (Eph.2:13, Heb.13:12), that writes the law in the hearts of Jew and Gentile in Christ (fellowheirs and of the same living body - Eph.3:6, Col.1:24), the church of God (1 Cor.10:32, 1 Cor.1:2, 1 Cor.15:9, Gal.1:13).


Eph.4:5 ONE Lord, ONE faith, ONE baptism,

2 Cor.5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he IS a new creature (Gal.6:15 below): old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

Gal.6:15 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature (2 Cor.5:17 above).

Col.1:24 Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for His body's sake, which IS the church (1 Cor.10:32, Gal. I:13, 1 Cor.1:2).

1 Cor.10:32 Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God (Eph.2:16 below).

Eph.2:16 And that he might reconcile BOTH (Jews and Gentiles - 1 Cor.10:32 above) unto God in one body (the church of God - 1 Cor.10:32 above) by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:

Gal.1:13 For ye have heard of my (Paul's) conversation in time past in the Jews' religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God (1 Cor.10:32 above), and wasted it.
