@brainfreeze What is the name of the one true church then? I want to worship in spirit and in truth

Well, in the bible someone said that the church is the body of Christ. Figure out the name of the body of Christ and you will know the name of the one true church. Or not?

No, they have added man-made doctrine to the bible, even though the bible says not to do that, that they will receive the plagues in the bible for it. And the people who follow them have no excuse because we are supposed to read the scriptures daily to make sure what we practice matches the bible. Jesus calls it the blind leading the blind, and says both will fall into a pit (hell).

Their doctrine should be perfect- cause it should be the bible only.

I've just read this in the Bible and I would like to know your thoughts:

There is one Lord, one faith, one baptism Eph.4:5.

Does this mean there is one true denomination or "Church" that we must attend? Also how come none of the major Christian denominations are mentioned in the Bible?

Church is not something you go to, its something you become.

fall on your knees and worship/confess The One True God, repent and follow Him,
and His Holy Love will encompass you and your future...

Where does this fit in there?

Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee,
Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit,
he cannot enter into the kingdom of God

The church is spiritual, not physical, it is made of the souls washed in Christ blood.

"...and He is the head of the body- the church, and the firstborn from the dead so that in everything He might have the supremacy."

When He said "I will build my Church" He was not talking about a building, He was talking about you.

The church building is just where the church meets to worship God.

Born of water is baptism (seems obvious).

Born of the Spirit is the resurrection...

Joh 3:6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
Joh 3:7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
Joh 3:8 The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.

Being born of the Spirit makes one invisible, humans cannot see spirit.

I confess I have a hard time not resisting evil.
Like when someone speaks evil of me for no cause whatsoever.

According to Jesus I should just offer you the other cheek.
