are you saying that those who go to a non church of Christ can be saved like a community church? I thought the church of Christ is supposed to not have religious fellowship with other “churches”

The churches of Christ have no fellowship with false doctrines that lead people away from Christ. Christians are “of Christ.” If a community church is not “of Christ,” then they cannot be saved. No group can be saved outside of Christ. Otherwise, I do not know what you mean by community church.
Is this a church in the community? Is this a church of Christ serving the community? Are you referring to the community church movement from the 90s?
“Everyone who goes on ahead and does not abide in the teaching of Christ, does not have God. Whoever abides in the teaching has both the Father and the Son” (2 John 9).

Mark 16-15,16 states he that believes and is baptized shall be saved. The good news that is.Sounds like some are adding there own restrictions.

Some can be baptized correctly and not uphold sound doctrine. False teachers will rise from among the churches (Acts 20:28).
Christians must avoid adding or annulling parts of God’s Word. For the sake of the weak, let us consider a safe position of unity according to Romans 14.

are they not one body?

In one way, yes, and in another, no. The churches of Christ and the Christian churches are not usually united regarding congregational singing and about remarriage after divorce is adultery with exception to fornication. That makes me sad. Romans 14 would apply nicely. Many Christians cannot with good conscience worship God with musical instruments. This is why: https://Godsbreath.net/2010/06/10/instrumental-music-worship/

Yes. They are very close as two bodies. I hope to see more unity. As far as being the church, they agree and seek to be the church of Christ.
