The "church" that Paul persecuted was the KINGDOM church. The word church is only used three times in scripture. The church in the Wilderness, the Church at Pentecost, and the Church the BODY of Christ. Dont read INTO another group of called out ones the particular things relevant to ONLY that group. Every time you see the word CHURCH in scripture its NOT referring to WE, the Body of Christ. Thats why right division is soooooo important. |
