Thinkingstuff said:I think you and I are just going to have to agree to disagree. I believe that Ephasus and all the churches are united in Christ that there are those called out those called out universally but meet locally but are all a part of the entire body of christ. There you have it.
Nice ending for both of you. Consistent with the standards that our Lord Jesus Christ prescribed for us. Well done. :applause:Tom Butler said:You are in a large company of believers who agree to disagree with me, and that's just fine.
Your view is fairly typical--hold to the existence of a Universal Church, but recognize the value of the local congregation. I suspect that my view is probably a minority opinion in my own congregation.
I am sure you have a sincere commitment to your congregation.
