The One True Church is not an ORG it is a spiritual Body composed of ALL who have been born again and have the Life of God abiding in their born again spirit.
So Christ and the Holy Spirit got it wrong for 1500 years?? huh..
So all the heresies, the -isms, the Church has fought and overcame for centuries were a waste of time... shoulda let them decide for themselves- as belief and faith can be anything as long as we say we are born again? That's all ?
I'm sure the liberal faiths who believe they are saved and are also hell bent in their sinful liberal faiths are part of that same Inclusive "spiritual body" you mention...(I'm not religious, I'm "spiritual"- so that is my church)
and St. Paul was wrong in his mission to spread the Gospel in the singularity that he did - and was way too rigid in what followers should do, and not do... geez.. not do your own thing.. sounds like he musta thought he was building an organization through leadership for a direct purpose...
Well he did- and there has been a Bishop of Rome that has guided that Church through the centuries.... so that it can prevail against whatever comes it way...
To have the thinking that somehow in this modernism of do-it-yourself christianity, of getting a lease and preaching the "Bible" as one translates it -without authority- will only lead to devolving into 20,000 have it your own way entities.. oh wait...

Only a dead soul fool frames such nonsense: "So Christ and the Holy Spirit got it wrong for 1500 years?? huh.."
The Holy Spirit is IN the born again. The Catholic Org? Not so much.

BTW, dead soul, Philemon had a body of Believers meeting in his home. Paul addressed them and they were not part of the Roman diversion from Christianity to Catholicism.
