Mga palatandaan ng iglesya lokal:

1. THIS IS A LOCAL CHURCH WHOSE FOUNDER IS THE LORD JESUS CHRIST
(Ito ay iglesya lokal na ang nagtatag ay ang Panginoong Hesus)
MATTHEW 16:18 “And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.”

a.     Si Kristo Hesus ang nagtatag ng iglesya lokal sa panahon ng Kanyang ministeryo sa lupa.
b.    Ang iglesyang itinatag ni Kristo ay may iisa lamang na kapamahalaan ng bautismo. Ito ay ang Baptist baptism authority na siyang tinanggap din ng Panginoong Hesus.
MATTHEW 3:13-17 “Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him.
Mt 3:14 But John forbad him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me?
Mt 3:15 And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer [it to be so] now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffered him.
Mt 3:16 And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him:
Mt 3:17 And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”
Þ   Ang kapangyarihan ng bautismo ni Juan ay mula sa langit.
JOHN 1:6 “There was a man sent from God, whose name [was] John.”
MARK 11:27-33 “And they come again to Jerusalem: and as he was walking in the temple, there come to him the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders,
Mk 11:28 And say unto him, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority to do these things?
Mk 11:29 And Jesus answered and said unto them, I will also ask of you one question, and answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things.
Mk 11:30 The baptism of John, was [it] from heaven, or of men? answer me.
Mk 11:31 And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why then did ye not believe him?
Mk 11:32 But if we shall say, Of men; they feared the people: for all [men] counted John, that he was a prophet indeed.
Mk 11:33 And they answered and said unto Jesus, We cannot tell. And Jesus answering saith unto them, Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.”
Þ   Ang labindalawang apostol na unang miyembro ng iglesyang itinatag ni Kristo ay tumanggap din ng bautismo ni Juan.
ACTS 1:22 “Beginning from the baptism of John, unto that same day that he was taken up from us, must one be ordained to be a witness with us of his resurrection.”

2. THIS IS A LOCAL CHURCH WHICH BOUGHT BY THE PRECIOUS BLOOD OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST
(Ito ay iglesya lokal na binili ng mahalagang dugo ng Panginoong Hesu-Kristo)
ACTS 20:28 “Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.”

a.     Ang iglesya lokal ay iglesyang ligtas na binili sa dugo ng Panginoong Hesus.
1PETER 1:18-19 “Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, [as] silver and gold, from your vain conversation [received] by tradition from your fathers;
1Pet 1:19 But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:”
b.    Ang iglesya lokal ay mahal na mahal ni Kristo dahil ibinigay Niya ang Kanyang buhay para dito.
EPHESIANS 5:25 “Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;”
c.      Dapat lamang nating mahalin ang iglesyang kinaaaniban natin sapagkat ito’y binili ni Kristo ng Kanyang banal na dugo.
EPHESIANS 1:7 “In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;”

3. THIS IS A LOCAL CHURCH WHOSE HEAD IS THE LORD JESUS CHRIST
(Ito ay iglesya lokal na ang ulo ay si Kristo.)
EPHESIANS 5:23 “For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.”

a.     Si Kristo ang ulo. Ibig sabihin, Siya ang may-ari nito at Siya rin ang gagawa ng programa upang sundin natin.
Þ   Ang dakilang programa ni Kristo ay ipalaganap ang ebanghelyo sa buong mundo sa pamamagitan ng masipag na paghayo ng iglesya lokal.
b.    Ang iglesya lokal ay may dalawa lamang na ordinansa na dapat ganapin:
1.     Ang bautismo sa bawat naligtas.
2.     Ang banal na hapunan na pagsasalu-saluhan ng bawat Kristiyano sa iglesya lokal bilang pag-alaala sa sakripisyo ni  sa krus ng Kalbaryo.
MATTHEW 26:26 “And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed [it], and brake [it], and gave [it] to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body.”

4. THIS IS A LOCAL CHURCH WHOM CHRIST ALSO PROMISE TO GIVE PASTOR
(Ito ay iglesya lokal na si Kristo Hesus ang nangako na magbibigay ng pastor na mangangalaga)
JEREMIAH 3:15 “And I will give you pastors according to mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding.”

a.     Si Hesus ang pinakaunang pastor sa iglesya lokal na tinatag Niya sa lupa. Siya pa rin ang magbibigay ng pastor sa bawat iglesya lokal.
b.    May dalawa lamang na itinalagang lider sa iglesya lokal. Ito ay ang obispo na siyang pastor na mangunguna sa iglesya lokal. Ang diyakono naman ang tutulong sa pastor sa iglesya lokal.
1TIMOTHY 3:1-4 “This [is] a true saying, If a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work.
1Tim 3:2 A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach;
1Tim 3:3 Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous;
1Tim 3:4 One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity;”

5. THIS IS A LOCAL CHURCH WHOM CHRIST HAS PROMISE TO PRESENT HIMSELF A GLORIOUS CHURCH BEFORE GOD THE FATHER IN HEAVEN
(Ito ay iglesya lokal na pinangakuan ni Kristo na ihaharap kasama Niya bilang maluwalhating iglesya sa harapan ng Diyos sa langit)
EPHESIANS 5:25-27 “Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;
Eph 5:26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,
Eph 5:27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.”

Jn 15:3 Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.”
b.    Ang pangako ng pagbabalik ni Kristo ay mapalad na pag-asa sa iglesya local.
TITUS 2:13 “Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;”

Pangwakas:
Ang pag-aaral patungkol sa iglesya lokal ay mahalagang doktrina na dapat malaman ng bawat Kristiyano sapagkat si Kristo ang nagtatag nito at binili Niya ng Kanyang banal na dugo. Siya ang ulo at may-ari nito. Siya rin ang nagbigay ng pastor na mangangalaga at pinangakuan Niya sa Kanyang pagbabalik.
EPHESIANS 5:23-27 “For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.
Eph 5:24 Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so [let] the wives [be] to their own husbands in every thing.

Eph 5:26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,
