EIGHT ARGUMENTS THAT PROVE THE CHURCH OF CHRIST CAME IN THE FIRST CENTURY

ARGUMENT ONE: The First argument is from Mark 9:1. This passage shows that the Kingdom or the Church was to come in the lifetime of the apostles. The church came with power, and the Holy Spirit came on Pentecost in the "apostles' lifetime.

ARGUMENT TWO: The second argument is found in Mark 1: 1 4-15, where Jesus said, "the time is fulfilled." The time is fulfilled The Kingdom or Church is at hand. The time is fulfilled. The Church is at hand.

ARGUMENT THREE: The third argument is from Daniel 2:44. The Kingdom or Church was to be established In the days of the fourth empire, that is, the Roman Empire. The Romans were ruling on Pentecost or during the time of Pentecost.

ARGUMENT FOUR: The fourth argument is taken from Isaiah 2:2-3. This is, that It was to be in the Lost Days when God's house was to be established or set up; all nations were to flow into it; and the law of God was to go forth from Zion and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem. All of this happened on Pentecost.

ARGUMENT FIVE: The fifth argument is from Psalms 110:1-4. At least five things in this amazing prophecy point directly to Pentecost. 1. Christ was designed the "Lord" of Psalms I 10 on Pentecost - Acts 2:34-36. 2. Christ was exalted to God's right hand - Acts 2:33. 3. The rod of His mouth, the gospel, went out of Zion for the first time on Pentecost. 4. On Pentecost Christ began to rule in the midst of His enemies. 5. He became High Priest after the order of Melchizedek that day.

ARGUMENT SIX: The six argument Is from Psalms 132: 11. In this passage it says that David was to have one to sit on his throne. Peter quoted this passage and applied that to Pentecost.

ARGUMENT SEVEN: The seven argument points to the keys of the kingdom that were given to Peter and be used them on Pentecost. Peter used those keys given by Christ and about 3,000 obeyed the gospel that day.

ARGUMENT EIGHT: The eight argument points to Daniel chapter seven. That Is, Daniel showed that right before Pentecost the Ancient of Days was seen by Daniel as the Son of Man coming in the clouds to the Ancient of Days to receive a kingdom, dominion, glory and power,.

May we use these arguments and others to show how false premillennialism really is. The scriptures prove the Church or Kingdom was definitely established in the first century.
