Re: In Search Of The Universal, Invisible Church (Chapter 1) by Elder Milburn Cockrell - Sovereign Grace Landmark Baptist Pastor
THE MEANING OF 'EKKLESIA'
Throughout all Spiritually Perverted Protestant Christendom there prevails the teaching that the word church has a twofold meaning in the New Testament.
They say at times it is used in the local sense and at other times in the sense of a universal, invisible church consisting of all believers.
They make the word to have a literal sense and a figurative sense.
Universal church people are not agreed on just what this invisible church really is.
As flesh-filled carnal Humans 'reasoning with a sin-cursed mind, APART FROM GOD AND THE BIBLE AND THE HOLY SPIRIT.
The strict dispensationalists would give this definition: "The true church, composed of the whole number of regenerate persons from Pentecost to the first resurrection (by a carnal misinterpretation of: I Cor. 15:52),
united together and to Christ by the baptism of the Holy Spirit (by a carnal misinterpretation of: I Cor. 12:12-13),
is the body of Christ of which He is the Head (by a carnal misinterpretation of: Eph. 1:22-23).
As such it is a holy temple for the habitation of God through the Spirit (by a carnal misinterpretation of: Eph. 2:21-22);
is 'one flesh' with Christ (by a carnal misinterpretation of: Eph. 5:30-31);
and espoused to Him as a chaste virgin to one husband ((by a carnal misinterpretation of: II Cor. 11:2-4)."
(See The Scofield Reference Bible, footnote on Hebrews 12:23, p. 1304).
Or don't if you have any Spiritual Decernment and skip his junk as junk.
