Unless you believe in collective salvation the “church” is simply a collection of individuals who have been saved.
Faulty premise, faulty conclusion. Not the Church we see in Acts and the Epistles. And, "just a collection of individuals"? Geez! You could say the same about the Elks Club and even they are more than that.
Never once have you seen in any of my posts a belief in OSOS [sic?].
Sorry, I inferred OSAS from your post. I didn't think you believed people go in and out of the Church based on salvation moment to moment.
Honestly, I don't see any Church in your view. Nothing different that a collection of individuals. 1+1=2. I think the answer is 2+++
You're still all individual all the time.
thanks for your courteous reply.
I realize that Catholics put the church between themselves and Christ and that’s a shame. Christ saves individuals, not churches. The RCC has become no more than a cult.
