    Ephesians 4:4-6,
    There is one body,
    and one Spirit,
    even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;
    One Lord,
    one faith,
    one baptism,
    One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.

    I found it a strange choice, but perhaps I've misunderstood! To choose between saying yes, a universal church concept is a test of fellowship but it's not of God, and saying no of course not, it (presumable the universal church) is the true church. Surely the halves of the statements are mixed. Did you perhaps mean:

    Yes of course It is the true church.

    No of course not. It is not of God

    That would seem to make more sense, at least to me.

    All the saved are of the one body of Christ, Romans 8:9, . . . Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. . . .
