In these three texts, the church spoken of was the church at Ephesus.
I placed into them the explanation of "What a church is", since you are most likely brainwashed to the extent that THERE IS NO WAY YOU COULD BECOME COGNISANT, BY USING WHAT IS CONTAINED IN YOUR BRAIN RIGHT NOW, OF WHAT THE ONLY THING GOD HAS ALWAYS EVER ACTUALLY BEEN SAYING THERE IS, OTHERWISE.
"And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church (at Ephesus, "a local, visible, called-out assembly of scripturally baptized believers, covenanted together according to the Biblical pattern of a “one member, one vote,” spirit-led democracy; whose purpose is the carrying out of the Great Commission of Matthew 28:16-20.),
"Which is his body," (at Ephesus, "a local, visible, called-out assembly of scripturally baptized believers, covenanted together according to the Biblical pattern of a “one member, one vote,” spirit-led democracy; whose purpose is the carrying out of the Great Commission of Matthew 28:16-20.) the fulness of him that "filleth all in all" (Ephesian 1:22-23).
"In whom all the building (at Ephesus, "a local, visible, called-out assembly of scripturally baptized believers, covenanted together according to the Biblical pattern of a “one member, one vote,” spirit-led democracy; whose purpose is the carrying out of the Great Commission of Matthew 28:16-20.)
"fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord (at Ephesus, "a local, visible, called-out assembly of scripturally baptized believers, covenanted together according to the Biblical pattern of a “one member, one vote,” spirit-led democracy; whose purpose is the carrying out of the Great Commission of Matthew 28:16-20.)
"In whom ye (at Ephesus, "a local, visible, called-out assembly of scripturally baptized believers, covenanted together according to the Biblical pattern of a “one member, one vote,” spirit-led democracy; whose purpose is the carrying out of the Great Commission of Matthew 28:16-20.)
"also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit" (at Ephesus, "a local, visible, called-out assembly of scripturally baptized believers, covenanted together according to the Biblical pattern of a “one member, one vote,” spirit-led democracy; whose purpose is the carrying out of the Great Commission of Matthew 28:16-20.) (Ephesians 2:21-22).
"From whom the whole body" (at Ephesus, "a local, visible, called-out assembly of scripturally baptized believers, covenanted together according to the Biblical pattern of a “one member, one vote,” spirit-led democracy; whose purpose is the carrying out of the Great Commission of Matthew 28:16-20.)
"fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body (at Ephesus, "a local, visible, called-out assembly of scripturally baptized believers, covenanted together according to the Biblical pattern of a “one member, one vote,” spirit-led democracy; whose purpose is the carrying out of the Great Commission of Matthew 28:16-20.)
"unto the edifying of itself in love" (Ephesians 4:16).
These texts clearly set forth three marks of a church in New Testament days, that differentiate Landmark Baptist churches from virtually every other church in existence today and prove conclusively that Landmark Baptist churches, TO BE BIBLICALLY CORRECT, as:
"local, visible, called-out assemblies of scripturally baptized believers, covenanted together according to the Biblical pattern of a “one member, one vote,” spirit-led democracy; whose purpose is the carrying out of the Great Commission of Matthew 28:16-20.)
when Landmark Baptists are professing what true New Testament churches of Christ are on this earth, while most others have an "Invisible" church, which is NOT ON THIS EARTH that they profess as the religion, which can only be found in the traditions of men, in the supposed light of human reason, in the presumptions of religions hierarchies or popular theologians, "neo-orthodox", reading it into the New Testament from some book of false theology,
or that by some presumed "Divine Authority", at any given time, The Bible may be amended or reversed or changed, by them as long as they claim that those drastic alterations, which make GOD A LIAR, were apparently, "God-Breathed", into their carnal mind of flesh, or otherwise..
"The Scripture cannot be broken" (John 10:35).
If the Scripture can not be broken, it can not be amended or reversed or changed.
It is the final word on all questions of truth or doctrine or duty or life.
Jesus said so. It is an unchangeable authority.
"It is written," was the answer of the Son of God to the devil in every test.
In other words, the Son of God said, the Book is final.
No amount of argument or explanation or sophistry can answer or do away with the Book.
So, what do you teach other men about "what a church is"?
Opponents of Landmark Baptists teach these following things:
Do you believe and teach men these things?
Landmark Baptist's Position is that they Believe The Bible Is the Final Authority.
So, what do you expert, scholarly, and scathing opponents of Landmark Baptists,
believe and teach other men about "what a church is"?
"But many that are first shall be last; and the last first."
(Mark 10:31; read also Mark 10:35-45.)
