Oh I understand “called out ones” but they were always in unity as members of the Body of Christ.
The Body of Christ is a metaphor looking at the Bride of Christ metaphor in a different way.. (same concept)
Jesus loved metaphor laced dialog....
Metaphor’s are like cartoons that transcend culture and language..
Pretty smart communication gambit.... IMO....
I know what you are saying. My point is believers are to fellowship in the Name of Jesus Christ. Seeking personal visions that are for you only were not the type of gifts given in the NT. They were for the benefit of all believers.
