And Eph 4:5 reads , One Lord , One Faith , One Baptism .God has one church, blesses the truth, wants no schisms.
Since you believe in WATER BAPTISM , John 1:31 says that Joh was to be manifest to Israel .His Bride has always affirmed:
one Lord, one faith, one baptism; - Ephesians 4:5
There is one Lord and one God, because the dominion of Father and Son is a single Godhead. The faith is said to be one because we believe similarly in Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Baptism is one. We are all baptized in the same way in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. We are immersed three times so that the sacrament of the Trinity may be apparent…. There is one baptism in the Spirit, in water and in fire. –.
- Jerome

That's a beautiful sentiment. The idea of unity in diversity is powerful, especially within the context of faith. Despite the different denominations and places of worship, the shared belief in one body and one church under Christ brings people together. It's a reminder of the common purpose and love that binds the community.You're right to say that the church is not a building nor a denomination.
It is difficult to have a conversation when what one writes is mistrusted by one's interlocutor.That sound good and all, but scripture from our early apostles does not make mention of such things as "one church." It talks about the body of Christ, those who are born again.

Ready the New Testament EpistlesDo you have a verse that says that WATER BAPRISM was given to GENTILES ??
Scripture tells us The Church IS His Body. I guess you may believe that Christ has 2 bodies?That sound good and all, but scripture from our early apostles does not make mention of such things as "one church." It talks about the body of Christ, those who are born again.

And he is the head of the body, the church. He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in everything he might be preeminent.It mentions about the body of Christ, but it doesn't make mention of any church being that body
And he is the head of the body, the church. He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in everything he might be preeminent.
Ephesians 1:20-23
That he worked in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly places, far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and above every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come. And he put all things under his feet and gave him as head over all things to the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all.
Yes, the second passage says "the church, which is his body"Pay attention to what I said, and also what scripture says that you just posted,...
He is the head of the body, the church. The body of Christ is the church. I know that can go against the grain for some on here, but that is what scripture says.

I don't need to re-read Scripture. Scripture tells us The Church is His Body. There is only One Body and One Church.I think you need to re-read scripture some there.
