a genuine church is NOT isolated but is related to all those believers who call upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in every place! Being related with all the saints who call on the Lord keeps us from being sectarian, isolated, or divided
so all the believers Christ in the world who is been saved must be one thru Christ, only then The bride can be ready for Christ coming back , if there are many divided churches , then it is not the real expression of Christ , it is just based on self views . God not only wants a single individual , but he wants a corporate expression, only then Christ can come back,. in Rev it says " Spirit and the bride says come" . If the bride must be ready , then the first thing we must do is to be in oneness. , When we see the epistles , there was only one church in every locality, Church in ephesus , church in philadelphia, ect.. but now in the world situation , there is even 5 churches in one street. This cannot become the expression of Christ. This would just result like in the case of the 10 virgins ,in whom 5 virgins ran out of oil.
Eph 4:4 - One Body and one Spirit, even as also you were called in one hope of your calling;
Eph 4:5 - One Lord, one faith, one baptism;
Eph 4:6 - One God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.
1 Cor. 1:2-4 "To the church of God which is in Corinth, to those who have been sanctified in Christ Jesus, the called saints, with all those who call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in every place, who is theirs and ours: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. I thank my God always concerning you based upon the grace of God which was given to you in Christ Jesus."
