The Church is the way Christ chose to ensure that His Gospel would be proclaimed throughout all the world to the end of age.

The church, individual believers.

All individual believers are ambassadors for Christ.

It's not the job of *the Church* to spread the gospel, any more than it's the job of the government to care for the poor.

Read Paul’s description of the Church in Corinthians. Note at the end the different roles that the Holy Spirit assigns. We are no longer individuals, but members of the One Body of Christ. The Church is the community of believers and from the very beginning there is an order that has been maintained through the centuries.

Me and the Bible is church is a fallacy.
