The Curch and the church.
Denominated churches are motivated to get people in the world to join their church by conforming to their belief system.
The Church of Jesus Christ is mandated to be the Church in the world without conforming to the world or the people of the world conforming to the Church. The Church is not a conformed people, they are are transformed people!
Denominated churches are concerned that the world might change their church thus, they have man-invented catechisms, constitutions, bylaws, membership form, rules of order that if not followed by the faithful...the faithful are no longer considered faithful.
The Church of Jesus Christ is about the Church changing the world. A community of the redeemed who live Kingdom reality in a fallen world, producing the proof that Jesus is who the scriptures declare He is...The Son of the living God and Head of His Church.
It is far more influential to bring Church to the people by being the Church 24/7, rather than bring people to church to see the church go through a performance ritual in a Sunday-go-meeting!
