It’s not even in operation. It’s not here yet. Men who would be king and wear robes and mitres like to think it is here, and ecclesiastics of ALL sorts and denominations like to make it something they can have their petty authority in, BUT IT’S NOT EVEN HERE ON EARTH AT ALL

It's not here as a kingdom with authority but surely you believe there are called individuals who are members of the church of God under the new covenant? Correct?

[John Leland 1789]

"It's not here as a kingdom with authority but surely you believe there are called individuals who are members of the church of God under the new covenant? Correct?"

The Church of Matthew 16 IS the Great Congregation of the Millennial Reign of Christ.

No, it is a "church" that is not on earth at all, yet.
