Actually, the church of the one body (Eph. 1:22-23)came into revelation after the close of The Book of Acts not in the middle of Acts. All "churches" are God's church no matter what dispensation and no matter what calling. Thus, they all can be called the church of God. What differentiates each "called out" group is their hope.
I recommend for your study the word "church". Go to the home page and in the upper right hand area is a search engine. Type the word church in the area and click go. The first article is very instructional. Do the same with the word "hope". A real treasure of the word rightly divided will be before you to study and enjoy.
God bless! |
