He was very clear about how we should live, how we should treat each other, how we are to be One.

Yeah. And?

It’s not God I’m worried about; it is those who needlessly and sadly choose to not to accept the abundant life Christ came to give us, rejecting the One Church and instead choosing to be a Church of One. I worry for those who think: I am the Church.

Who ever said they were a church of one?

WE are the church. I am the church, all the others are the church. It's a church made up of all believers of all time.

When we say *I am the church* that doesn't mean that each individual means that they themselves are the only one who is a church, but rather what we're saying is that PEOPLE are the church, not a denomination with headquarters somewhere.

WE are the church, I am the church, they are the church because we/I/they are in Christ and by being in Christ we/I/they make up the church, the true church, the body of Christ.

Then I'd suggest "I am the church." is at the least extremely poor phrasing. I do think it would be accurate to say that you think that your beliefs, each individual's, are what the Church believes, and this is an obvious error.

but rather what we're saying is that PEOPLE are the church, not a denomination with headquarters somewhere.

We don't believe in denominations either. But when you "take it to the Church" where do you go?
