The Church of scripture is one united ecclesial body (Eph 4:3-4; Eph 4:13-16; Jn 17:21; Mt 16:18) without schismatic divisions (1 Cor 12:25; Rom 16:17; 1 Cor 1:10; Jude 1:19; Gal 5:20; 3 John 1:9-10), with one teaching for all the churches (Acts 15:22-23,25,28/Acts 16:4-5; 1 Tim 1:3; 1 Cor 1:10; Eph 4:5; Jude 1:3), and one bishopric authorized of and by the apostles (Titus 1:5) by the laying on of hands in ordination (Heb 6:2; 2 Tim 1:6; 1 Tim 4:14; Titus 1:5), sharing ministers back and forth among all churches (1 Cor 16:3; Rom 16:1,3,9,21,23; Phil 2:19,25; Titus 3:12), receiving one another in fellowship and in greeting (Rom 15:5-7; Rom 16:16; Col 4:10,12,14; 3 John 1:9-10), where excommunication removes individuals from this one body (Matt 18:17; 1 Corinthians 5:1-2,4-5), and which existed from St. Peter and the apostles unto today (Matt 16:18-19; Eph 3:21).
The Oringinal Apostles - Preferred to preach to Israel
The Apostle Paul - Would become apostle to the gentiles.
This post was meant for another thread, apologies.I traveled to Tahiti and couldn't help but notice all the electronic devices hooked to databases. All you have to do is swipe your passports and all your information comes up. You can even have your iPhone display your ticket information. I also have a billfold full of swipable cards and need two for me workplace as I am also a fork truck operator. Add the credit cards, bank cards, driver's license, shopping cards and it is just too many.
We are not far away from having everything stored on a universal database in which we will all be required to be tied into! And for most folk this will be just another tattoo! 2060AD is a very close, scientific, and accurate prediction!
Between the Laodicean church age and 2060AD I believe we will experience what Paul calls, "The fulness of the Gentiles..."
For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in. - Romans 11:25
Interesting times ahead!
Methodist? How did they manage a category of their own?The seven general congregations...
1. Messianic
2. The persecuted church
3. Greek Orthodox
4. Catholic
5. Protestant
6. Methodist
7. Charismatic
Are all very much different church congregations.
Nah, that's old school "Giant Computer" thinking. We're all already on countless DBs, and they're all linked together on the net.We are not far away from having everything stored on a universal database in which we will all be required to be tied into!
Log past, IMO. THe Revelator was writing to his contemporaries more than to us.And for most folk this will be just another tattoo!
Sorry, but I think the "Church Ages" thing is rubbish.Between the Laodicean church age and 2060AD I believe we will experience what Paul calls, "The fulness of the Gentiles..."
Even something for old Fido!Nah, that's old school "Giant Computer" thinking. We're all already on countless DBs, and they're all linked together on the net.

[quote 2060AD is a very close, scientific, and accurate prediction! Close, yeah, scientific, not really, although I'm sure it it's logically sound, accurate remains to be seen.
