The Church...
In the present dispensation there is only one true Church, which is called the Body of Christ (I Cor. 12:13; Eph. 1:22,23; 3:1-6) separate and distinct from the prophesied, earthly kingdom of Christ. The historicalmanifestation of the Body of Christ began with the Apostle Paul before he wrote his first epistle (I Thes. 2:14-16; cf. Acts 13:45-46; Phil. 1:5,6 cf. Acts 16; I Cor. 12:13, 27 cf. Acts 18)
