Dear Bro. _________________,
Please read and study the following and then give me a call at 512-785-8445. These resources will answer your questions, but let me know after you go through them what questions, if any, are not answered. The last article below deals with Section 170 of the IRS code and IRS Regs. which address tax deductions for contributions. I have not updated the article for 2018 changes (probably none or insignificant, but you can check that code at the last link below. Also, Publication 1828 will also be of help-it is linked directly to below.
Churches under Christ Ministry is under the authority of Charity Baptist Tabernacle of Amarillo, Texas. Jerald Finney, a Christian Lawyer and member of Charity Baptist Tabernacle, having received this ministry in the Lord, explains how a church in America can remain under the Lord Jesus Christ and Him only. "As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen" (1 Peter 4:10-11; See also, Ephesians 4::1-16 and 1 Corinthians 12:1-25). "Take heed to the ministry which thou hast received in the Lord, that thou fulfil it" (Colossians 4:17). "And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church" (Ephesians 1.22; See also, e.g. Colossians 1:18).
