Actually the early church had Bishoprics that were similar to different denominations ..each Bishop decided what books of the scriptures were valid.. and he decided what that church looked like
But Cyberant ..I agree that there is only one church ..that church is the bride of Christ and composed of the elect in Christ.. and at the end..the tares will be thrown into the fire and the church glorious will reign with Christ
Wow! After 3 years of Bible School, I don’t recall studying anything like that.
God sees the heart, not the denomination. That’s the most important thing to me.
