“The Church” cannot be legitimately defined as the Catholic Church. The true “Body of Christ” can only be defined as those who have truly been “born-again,” that is, supernaturally transformed by the power of the Holy Spirit through Jesus Christ. Herein likes the danger of false teachings and heresies. Leaven corrupts the truth, therefore preventing men from entering the kingdom of God via the traditions and commandments of men rather than sola-scriptura.

Thanks for sharing your opinion, but it is nothing more than that, your opinion.

.
That does not match up with Yeshua’s words in John 3

[5] Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
[6] That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
[7] Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
[8] The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.

How many people that you think are "born again" can move invisibly like the wind?

Yeshua plainly told Nicodemus that all who are "born of the spirit" can do so.

Yeshua's true assembly are those that will be born again, at the last trump.
