By jove... I think you gots it :thumbs::wavey::thumbs:

:wavey::thumbsup::thumbsup::godisgood:

Name any verse in the Scripture or passage of Scripture which defines or speaks of such a thing as the "INVISIBLE" Church....There is no such passage anywhere in Scripture.

Obviously, neither you nor I accept the notion of the "Universal" Church in the same way the Catholics teach...I didn't assume that in the least. The Catholic notion is beyond false...I am telling you that I do not believe there is such a "thing" or entity as the "CHURCH" which is ANYTHING more...

You may be assumming too much Salzer...this passage is not divorced from the previous statement in: Act 2:38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. Random...

Yes, it makes sense... I think some of the source of confusion is that it must be understood that I believe (and all people with my POV, I think) believe in something that might be called the "Church General". This is, of course, to say, that when Christ built his "Church" he intended it to...

That the local Church is Scriptural and real is not debateable. Personally, I have never found ANY passage of Scripture which teaches that there is such a thing as a "Universal-Assembly" which is essentially an oxymoron. It is commonly asserted amongst Modern Baptists post...

Possibly the specific individuals he called-out, trained, sent to evangelize and baptize, celebrated the last supper-with, initially appeared to after his ressurrection, Prayed for specifically in lieu of all others in John 17:9-18 and upon whom the Holy Spirit fell on the day of Pentecost when...

I maintain it is a local Assembly, and only a local Assembly. I do not believe the Scriptures speak of the "Church" as a Universal entity. Then again...most will disagree. All the saved are certainly "saints" and part of the "kindgom" of God and what-not...but, I wouldn't call them the Church.

Yes.........

Bosley...just wanted you to know that as of this moment...my wife and I have JUST prayed for you and your family, and some peace for your dad. As of 9:08 p.m. EST You've been prayed for...and we will continue!! :godisgood: You'd do better if it were a "righteous" man who prayed for you...but...

I think you meant to say that there wasn't "an ounce of truth to this post"... In lieu of what you posted: I think that is what you meant to convey no?

Uh...no, what I mean is neither tricky nor an attempt to be contentious. I cannot FATHOM how you thought this was an attempt to "pick a fight". You asked me if I was an "Arminian" remember???? and I answered you: I said what I meant, and that is that I am, in fact in agreement 100% with what...

True Story....that is actual "Science" and it glorifies God....Dinosaur soft-tissue will not last for "millions" of years...it will degrade...and yet, we can take some DNA samples from it...The Earth is YOUNG, and "Science" proves it...OVER and OVER and OVER....There is not, nor will there ever...

Fossilization isn't natural...even in a flood. The animals which would "fossilize" are those who meet these criterion: 1:) MASSIVE density/weight/bone matter: (that's why, say a Dinosaur might "fossilize" and a bird may not...Lizards have solid bones...so do mammals ...so do a lot of...
