"Identifying a True Church of God: A Biblical Guide," provides a framework for believers to discern an authentic Christian assembly amidst numerous denominations. The text begins by establishing that the church is an assembly of people built upon the foundation of the apostles' teachings and the supreme headship of Christ.
