Jesus is Lord. He is the head and he is coming back soon for his body. His body is of the same spirit, the Holy spirit. All these churches are divided. On one end of the street you have a Baptist church, and on the other end there a Pentecostal church. They are totally different. 1 Cor;3:1-4 1Brothers and sisters, I could not address you as people who live by the Spirit but as people who are still worldly—mere infants in Christ. 2 I gave you milk, not solid food, for you were not yet ready for it. Indeed, you are still not ready. 3 You are still worldly. For since there is jealousy and quarreling among you, are you not worldly? Are you not acting like mere humans? 4 For when one says, “I follow Paul,” and another, “I follow Apollos,” are you not mere human beings?
Beta..BE QUIET already ...you talk but dont listen so your replies make no SENSE...weve been nicely trying to say DROP IT..this discusdion is NOT brining others on this thread CLOSER to the Lord and doesnt that just defeats our purposes as christians! Chasing ones tail is a waste of time and very unattractive !

Technically, He could have resurrected the moment they sealed His burial tomb. We do however know when Palm Sunday is (Hebrew/Jewish Tradition), and we know it was the following Friday that He was crucified. He even claimed in three days He would rise from His death. If we take Him at His word knowing He is God, three days brings us to Sunday, exactly one week after Palm Sunday.

one thing I've learned. the more I spend time with the Lord, the more HE molds me to His heart. we can post, post, and post some more of what "christians should/shouldn't do," but the Holy Spirit is the one who opens our eyes and leads us.
I'm not a lesser/better believer because I attend a local fellowship and meet on Sundays. I'm not less/more saved. I'm washed in the same blood of Jesus as those who believe we should gather on Saturday. Those who gather on Saturdays aren't lesser/better believers. heck, Einstein said, "before God, we are all equally wise... and equally foolish." lol!
Jesus said it all comes down to this:
1) loving God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength
2) loving our neighbor as we love ourselves

If you are a part of the body of Christ, you are a part of the Church. You cannot be one and not the other.
If you are apart from the body of Christ, you are apart from the Church.
You might want to proofread your posts; "apart of" is not correct grammar.

It doesn't matter what you call it; the two are the same thing. You are either in or out.
If you personally choose not to submit yourself to any local eldership, that's your decision, even though it is indefensible scripturally.
Your broadbrushed denigration of the local church, and of those who are part of a local fellowship, is baseless, wrongheaded and needs to stop. If you have specific criticisms of a specific local body, by all means take those criticisms to the leaders of that local body. Otherwise, just stay away and stop griping. Since you consider yourself so wise and learned, put all that God-given grace and energy into building the Kingdom, rather than tearing it down.

I have heard people say I belong to the church of Christ , we do it that way, another say well I belong to the Baptist church come visit us because we do it this way.

They were starting their own churches, and leaving the one that Paul had preached to them.
