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.

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.
Nice ending for both of you. Consistent with the standards that our Lord Jesus Christ prescribed for us. Well done. :applause:
