They had an alter (Christ),
But no sacrifices.
They were all baptized believers,
But no Baptists.
They had Presbyters,
But no Presbyterians.
They had methods in their meetings,
But no Methodists.
They had Bishops in the Church
But no Episcopalians.
They trembled at the Word of God
But here were no Quakers.
They were congregations of believers
But no Congregationalists.
They met simply as Christians in the
Name of our Lord Jesus Christ, and
were obedient to his word.
