The Church is

The House of God, which is the Church of the Living God, the pillar and ground of Truth (1 Timothy 3:15-16), it is a spiritual house, a spiritual temple, a spiritual building, a spiritual body, a called-out assembly. It is the Body of the Lord Jesus Christ in which He is the Head of (1 Corinthians 12:12-31, Galatians 3:26-29, Ephesians 1:3-23, 2:11-22, 4:11-16, Colossians 1:15-23 & 1 Peter 2:1-10). It is the sure foundation (1 Corinthians 3:10-23, Ephesians 2:19-22, 2 Timothy 2:19 and having the Seal of God (2 Timothy 2:19).

The Church is

The Body of redeemed sinners who have repented of their sins and transgressions, have turned from their wicked ways, have called upon the Name of the Lord in faith and have believed and obeyed the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ, who have been baptized in the Name of Jesus Christ according to the scriptures and have been filled with the Gift of the Holy Ghost and fire baptized with the speaking in other tongues. The Church is the Body of Christ, the Blood-Bought-Born Again-Believers (St. John 3:1-18, Acts 4:12, 1 Corinthians 6:19-20, 7:23 & Galatians 3:26-29).

The Church is

The Body of Christ, the Bride, which receives its Divine Authority and Power from Christ, her Head and Husband, she exercises this Authority and Power as a result of having received it. It is the Messianic, Apostolic, Delegated Kingdom Power and Authority of God.

Pertaining to the Messianic, the Person of Jesus Christ, His Word and His Work. (The Gospels; St. Matthew 28:16-20, Romans 1:16-17, 5:1-11, 1 Corinthians 2:1-5, The Epistles & Revelation).

Delegated:

Power:

Authority:

The Church is

The Body of Jesus Christ and she not only realizes, but also understands that Jesus is her Lord and Saviour and that He is also her God and besides Him, she knows no other God, therefore she is His only witness and teaches and preaches who He is as He is. She is His Body, His Bride, therefore, the Power and the Authority that she has received (been delegated) is from Him, therefore she speaks and acts in His NAME, the NAME of Jesus Christ, Jesus is her All and All.

PAY SPECIAL ATTENTION TO HOW THESE SCRIPTURES HIGHTLIGHT HIS NAME, THE NAME OF JESUS 

St. Matthew 28:16-20

Note:  In these verses the word NAME is singular and not plural and a proper studying of God's Word will demonstrate that the name of the Father is Jesus, the name of the son is Jesus and the name of the Holy Ghost/Spirit is Jesus (Genesis 1:1-31, Isaiah 7:14, 9:6-7, 35:1-6, 40:1-3, 43:10-15, 44:6-8, 45:21-23, St. Matthew 1:18-25, St. Luke 2:1-11, St. John 1:1-18, Colossians 1:15-19, 2:9-10 & Revelation 1:1-8). THEREFORE, THEY WERE COMMANDED TO TEACH, BAPTIZE AND DO ALL THINGS IN THE NAME OF JESUS. 

St. Mark 16:15-18

St. Luke 24:44-49

St. John 3:16-18

Acts 2:37-42

Acts 4:11-2

Ephesians 1:19-23

Philippians 2:5-11

The Church is

The House of the Living God, the Body of Christ and she is Co-missioned to exercise Divine/Kingdom Authority and Power under the Headship of her Saviour, her Lord and God, Jesus Christ. She is His Ambassador in the earth to propagate the Gospel of her Lord and Saviour in word and deed.  

St. Matthew 28:16-20

St. Mark 16:15-20

St. Luke 24:44-53

St. John 20:21-23

Acts 1:4-8

Acts 2:37-43

The Church is

The Church is Co-missioned by the Lord Jesus Christ to demonstrate His Power and Authority, which is the Kingdom of God. We see how Jesus commanded the Church to perform certain acts (teaching, preaching, baptizing, commanding to observe all things, healing the sick and casting out devils)and in the Book of Acts we see how the disciples who were sent (apostles) are now performing the commandments of Jesus Christ. The Book of Acts is known as the Acts of the Apostles and/or the Acts of the Holy Ghost/Spirit, because these 12 disciples/apostles who were taught by Jesus and now having received the gift of the Holy Ghost (Acts 2:1-4) are now acting in the Authority and Power of the Holy Ghost to teach, preach, baptize and perform all the works that Jesus commanded them to do.

LET US LOOK IN THE BOOK OF ACTS AND SEE HOW THE CO-MISSIONS AND COMMANDMENTS (The Gospels) WERE FULFILLED AND CONTINUE TO BE FULFILLED THROUGH HIS CHURCH.

(go ye therefore and teach all nations)

(baptize in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost)

(teaching them to observe all things)

St. Mark 16:15-18

(go ye into all the world and preach the gospel)

(he that believeth and is baptized shall be saved)

(in my name shall they cast out devils)

(they shall speak with new tongues)

(they shall take (kill, destroy) serpents (devils, demons, unclean spirits)

(if they drink any deadly thing it shall not hurt them)

(they shall lay hands on the sick and they shall recover)

St. Luke 24:44-49

(repentance and remission of sins should be presched in his name)

(ye are witnesses)

(I send the promise "Holy Ghost/Spirit" of my Father upon you)

St. John 20:21-23

(as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you)

(receive ye the Holy Ghost)

(whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them)

Acts 1:1-8

(ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost)

(ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, all Judaea, Sama'ria and the uttermost part of the earth)

(the uttermost part of the earth)
