Many believers are under the oppression of false apostles and seek fellowship in counterfeit churches. But they have been so blinded and brainwashed that they can hardly recognize their need for serious help. This book pinpoints the distinguishing characteristics of both true and false churches. It provides lessons that are extremely needed today, when all sorts of abuses and oppressive teachings have gained a foothold as false apostles take control of the airwaves. To achieve this, the book exposes the errors in interpretation and in the thinking about God's nature that lead people to false churches. It then offers believers the way forward. While many writers who have diagnosed the same problems in the church have prescribed a return to the early church model, "The Nature of the Apostolic Church" shows that this solution is defective as the first century church was itself imperfect. The solution, the book explains, lies in fixing the eyes of the church on Jesus and Him alone, thus moving the Body of Christ beyond restoration and into perfection. That is the church that Christ desires, one without any spot or blemish.
