On the contrary, my identity is Christ and being in Him. That is why we do NOT identify as Baptist, Methodist, Lutheran, whatever, because it is CHRIST who saves, not churches which save.
We have died in Him, been buried with Him, and raised in Him. The local assembly which we attend on Sundays for worship is incidental to our identity IN CHRIST.
It's all about Jesus. It's ONLY about Jesus.
Hebrews 12:1-2 Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.
Amen, Amen, and Amen!
1 Corinthians 1;12 Now this I say, that every one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ. 13 Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized in the name of Paul?
