No denomination is the *one true church*.
There is nothing in Scripture that states that the *one true church* is located or headquartered anywhere.
The church is the body of Christ, comprised of all born again believers throughout the church age, where ever they live and where ever they worship.
The church is an organism not an organization.
To metmom; You comment: No denomination is the *one true church*.
I disagree and Jesus stated: “every kingdom divided against itself shall be made desolate: and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand” ( Matthew 12:25 ).
That the Church which Christ instituted for man’s salvation must be one in the strict sense of the term just explained, is already evident from its very nature and purpose; truth is one, Christ revealed the truth and gave it to His Church, and men are to be saved by knowing and following the truth. But the essential unity of the true Christian Church is also explicitly and repeatedly declared throughout the New Testament :
Speaking of His Church, the Saviour called it a kingdom, the kingdom of heaven, the kingdom of God ( Matthew 13:24, 31, 33 ; Luke 13:18 ; John 18:36 );
He compared it to a city the keys of which were entrusted to the Apostles ( Matthew 5:14 ; 16:19 ),
to a sheepfold to which all His sheep must come and be united under one shepherd ( John 10:7-17 );
to a vine and its branches,
to a house built upon a rock against which not even the powers of hell should ever prevail ( Matthew 16:18 ).
Moreover, the Saviour, just before He suffered, prayed for His disciples, for those who were afterwards to believe in Him — for His Church — that they might be and remain one as He and the Father are one ( John 17:20-23 ); and
He had already warned them that “every kingdom divided against itself shall be made desolate: and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand” ( Matthew 12:25 ).
These words of Christ are expressive of the closest unity.
St. Paul likewise insists on the unity of the Church.
