God knows His people...they are a part of every denomination out there and recognize His Holy Spirit working in the lives of their brothers and sisters.
That's very true. That's why they do what God inspired the apostle Paul to write.
2 Corinthians 6:
14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?


15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?

16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you.

18 And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.

Gods church is made of those wgo will make the Rapture and spend eternity with him in heaven. One lord, one faith one baptism. There is only one way to be saved. A person must be born again and live holy if they want to make it with Jesus. So God church is those who preach and teach the truth. All churches are not Gods church. Jesus said upon this rock I will build my church, which implies there are other churches but this is My church. Gods church is built upon the revelation of who Jesus is. One must be born again of the water and the spirit to enter into Gods kingdom. A person cant just join Gods church they have to be born into it.

Is this another push for home churches? If so...meeh, not buying the koolaid.

If it's a serious question,then the verse is about unity in Christ..why use it to divide people?

God knows His people...they are a part of every denomination out there and recognize His Holy Spirit working in the lives of their brothers and sisters.
This was a geniuine question

All members of the Body of Christ compose the Temple of God.

Jesus has already forewarned us all that there will not be one stone left upon the other when He returns.

We, the lively stones will be rebuilt when He returns.

Until that Great and Glorious day, we must continue in faith never judging to condemnation others who may or may not be our brethren, always believing all that is good, holy and pure.

When the Good Shepherd returns He will separated the sheep from the goats.

We are free to never judge and love all, and this is freedom indeed, amen.

The one true Church is made up of the body of Christ/all genuine born again Christians (Colossians 1:18,24) and is not simply a building with a name stamped on it.

Yes there is only one true church, it is those who are born again by the spirit of God.
The reason why so many denominations exist is because over time, people have had different interpretations and opinions on scripture so they split, or start a new congregation.
Are those people also born again by the Spirit of God?

the one True Church are those who serve our Heavenly Father with reverence and Godly fear,
loving Him first and above all things and they live out their gratefulness in awe and obedience -
while loving and serving others above themselves...

Jesus did not come to establish a religion. Jesus founded a church comprised of born again believers. It is an organism not an organization. The one true church is in many denominations and many non-denominations. As sand of the sea their number cannot be counted. Jesus adds to His church daily such as should please Him. Jesus is building His church and the gates of hades cannot prevail against it.

For the cause of Christ
