I know that I am in Christ. Therefore, I am part of the body of Christ, the church.

It is not within my power to do so. I can recognize that if they are trusting Christ also, they are also part of the body of Christ, because GOD says so, not because of any decision of mine.

I cannot keep anyone out nor admit them.

Therefore, I am part of the body of Christ, the church.

You do see the difference between this and "I am the Church." Yes?
