Hello, Kingdom Greetings, God's Sons And, Daughters!

( IT IS LONG OVERDUE, THAT THE BODY OF CHRIST, TO - GROW - UP IN THEIR FAITH! )

( He, Jesus said, they are pointing their fingers toward Me and telling My followers and people that I will do everything for them, But Christ told me to tell His Church leadership and Memberships, that He has pointed His sons and daughters with other to us His Church body here on earth),

Many religious leaders and people today understand the church as a building. This is not a biblical understanding of the church. The word “church” is a translation of the Greek word ekklesia, which is defined as “an assembly” or “called-out ones.”

The root meaning of church is not that of a building, but a Spirit-filled wanted baptized people in Jesus' Name. It is ironic that when you ask people what church they attend, they usually identify a religious building.

Romans 16:5 says, Apostle Paul said and wrote “Greet the church that is in their house.” Elder Paul refers to the church in their house—not a church building, but a body of believers. The church is the body of Christ, of which He is the head. Ephesians 1:22–23 says, “And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way.” The body of Christ is made up of all believers in Jesus Christ from the day of Pentecost (Acts 2) until Christ’s return. Biblically, we may regard the church in two ways, as the universal church or as the local church.

The universal church consists of every born-again believer in the Lord Jesus Christ, everywhere, who has a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. “For we were all baptized by one Spirit into one body—whether Jews or Greeks, slave or free—and we have all given the one Spirit to drink” (1 Corinthians 12:13).

This verse says that anyone who believes is part of the body of Christ and has received the Spirit of Christ as evidence. All those who have received salvation through faith in Jesus Christ comprise the universal church.

The community church is described in Galatians 1:1–2: “Teacher Paul, an Apostle . . . and all the brothers with me, to the churches in Galatia.” Here we see that in the province of Galatia there were many churches—they had a community ministry and were scattered throughout the province. They were community churches. A Baptist church, a Lutheran church, an E-Free church, etc., is not the church, as in the universal church; rather,

it is a community church, a group body of believers. The universal church is comprised of everyone who belongs to Christ. Members of the universal church should seek fellowship and edification in a fellowship church family.

In summary, the church is not a building or a denomination. According to the Bible, the church is the body of Christ—all those who have placed their faith in Jesus Christ for salvation (John 3:16; 1 Corinthians 12:13). community churches are gatherings of Holy Ghost people who claim The Name of Christ. Members of a community church family may or may not be members of the universal church, depending on the genuineness of their faith. The fellowship group church is where believers can fully apply the “body” principles of 1 Corinthians chapter 12—encouraging, teaching, and building one another up in the knowledge and grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and every member does their own work and shares his or her own load causing growth in the body of believers.
