In the same sense that the original Church was not an institution but was a body of believers

Really? So when Paul speaks of the Three Pillars of the church (Peter, James, and John), he isn't referring to any persons in authority of a Christian institution?

What passage are you referring to?

I generally avoid those who bring a spirit of contentiousness into the Church.

See ya....
