Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. A father and son are credited with establishing the church of Christ in America. What were their names?

Answer: Alexander and Thomas Campbell

Thomas Campbell was a Presbyterian preacher in Scotland. Joseph Smith founded the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (Mormons), and David and Mal Bonner are friends of mine. One's a preacher, one's a dentist.

2. Members of the Church of Christ believe communion (The Lord's Supper) should be observed ________?

Answer: Weekly

We believe the Bible teaches a weekly observance of the Lord's Supper. Acts 20:7 states that "On the first day of the week the disciples came together to break bread." Most scholars agree the "breaking bread" in this passage is the Lord's Supper, and it can be inferred from the text that each week has a first day. Thus the communion is observed each Sunday.

3. The Church of Christ does not have "music" in its worship services.

Answer: False

Yes, it is true that churches of Christ do have music; however, we believe that the only music authorized by the New Testament is singing without instrumental aid. (Colossians 3:17; Ephesians 5:19)

4. One of the most noted Church of Christ preachers of the mid-20th century was a fiery speaker named __________.

Answer: Foy E. Wallace, Jr

Foy E. Wallace, Jr. was highly noted as one of the most fiery preachers among churches of Christ in the mid 20th Century. His father, Foy, Sr. was noted the same way in the earlier part of the era.

William E. Wallace is his son, Cled Wallace was his brother and Larry Ray Hafley is a late 20th/early 21st century preacher and debater.

5. This denomination formed over a disagreement among members of the Church of Christ regarding instrumental music and the American Christian Missionary Society.

Answer: Christian Church (Disciples of Christ)

In the late 1800's some wanted to bring in societies that tie churches together in a denominational fashion. These same people also wanted to bring in instrumental music to accompany the singing in the worship services.

The group that supported the innovations was first known as The Christian Church.

Methodism was founded by John Wesley. Baptists came about as a result of Calvin's teaching. The United Church of Christ resulted from the merger of two denominations several years ago.

6. "_____________, Texas Preacher" was a biography of a pioneer preacher written by his son.

Answer: J.D. Tant

J.D. Tant preached throughout Texas and the Southwest for many years. His son Yater wrote the book "J.D. Tant, Texas Preacher" about his father. Fanning Yater Tant served as an editor for the "Gospel Guardian" paper that was popular among members of the church in the mid-20th century.

7. Members of the Church of Christ believe that ______________ is necessary for one to be saved.

Answer: Baptism

The Church of Christ's position is based on Mark 16:16, Acts 2:38, Acts 22:16, 1 Peter 3:21 and other passages that teach the necessity of water baptism (immersion) for salvation.

8. "Mainstream" or "institutional" churches of Christ operate which of the following colleges?

Answer: All of these

All of these are operated and supported by "mainstream" churches of Christ.

9. "Non-institutional" or "anti" churches of Christ members donate to and operate which of these colleges?

Answer: Florida College

Florida College, located in Temple Terrace, Florida, survives on donations from individual members of the church of Christ. It does not accept donations from churches, but only from individual members.

Harding University and OCU are both operated by "Institutional" or "Mainstream" churches of Christ. Bethany Bible College was founded by Alexander Campbell.

Answer: David Edwin Harrell, Jr.

Ed Harrell has taught history at the University of Alabama in Birmingham for many years. His biography on Oral Roberts is quite exhaustive. It makes for good reading for those who are interested in the charismatic movement in the United States. Harrell takes the approach of a historian in this book and does not teach any doctrine.

He simply reports the facts on Roberts' life. The title of the book is "Oral Roberts, An American Life."
