Jesus Christ founded his Church in eternity past in the Counsels of God.
Every believer who has entrusted himself to Christ alone for salvation, is part of that eternal church.
Every one is baptized into the Body of Christ at the moment of salvation.
Every one is indwelt by the Holy Spirit as a pledge of the rest of his inheritance at the moment of salvation.
Lift your eyes above and trust HIM alone Salvation!

In Acts chapter 8, Philip baptized the Samaritans, but they didn’t receive the Holy Ghost until a couple days later. (assuming a messenger took a day to get to Jerusalem, and a day for Peter and John to come down.)
**Every believer who has entrusted himself to Christ alone for salvation, is part of that eternal church.**
Do you agree that his words (commands) need to be trusted (obeyed) as well?
