What is said recently (emphasis added):
We believe God’s church universal is composed of all the disciples in the world. We believe local congregations should be composed of only disciples. That does not mean that International Church of Christ members are the only disciples. But we do believe we are the only fellowship with congregations of only disciples. Presently we are reaching out to several leaders who share this conviction in order to help reunite “discipling churches” through relationships between leaders.

I have never believed or taught that anyone has to be baptized into the Boston Church of Christ to be saved. The Scriptures clearly teach you must be baptized into Christ for the forgiveness of your sins and then, the Lord adds you to his church (Acts 2:36-47; Romans 6:3,4; 1 Corinthians 12:13; Acts 2:41,42). However, I do not know of any other church, group or movement that teaches and practices what we teach as Jesus taught in Acts 2:41,42: one must make the decision to be a disciple, then be baptized for the forgiveness of their sins to be saved and receive the Holy Spirit. When one is born again at baptism (Titus 3:5), one must have Jesus’ heart and attitude to do anything, go anywhere and give up everything for God. After baptism each disciple is taught to obey all the commands of Jesus as one grows and goes making disciples. If this is what God teaches in the Bible, then we are God’s movement.
