[MarkBsnr]

All churches who are not from the line of succession are not within the body of Christ.

Wrong. It's not denominations which make up the body of Christ and it's not through succession from whoever or whatever.

Any individual who is in Christ is part of the body of Christ according to God. Any church's or denomination's opinion or definition about it is meaningless.

Christ created His Church. He instructed the first generation and authorized them to instruct all other generations. Acts and Paul illustrates how to treat the churches of men who are created by men for the benefit of the men who founded them.

"I never knew you".

Christ created His Church. He instructed the first generation and authorized them to instruct all other generations.

And so they wrote Scripture for us.

1 John 5:13-15 13I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God that you may know that you have eternal life. 14And this is the confidence that we have toward him, that if we ask anything according to his will he hears us. 15And if we know that he hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests that we have asked of him.

And the passages from 1 Corinthians in post 2759 further back on this page.

We don't need more Pharisees.
