To Know True Church
The True Jesus Church is united in the Holy Spirit.There are many organizations in the world, such as corporations, universities, family organizations and so on. There is assembly, combination, division, change, and ascension in worldly organization. Companies can be established, can be developed, and also have the possibility of splitting and extinction, having their own development laws and phenomena.
However, the spiritual true church is different from the secular organization. The secular organization is earthly, the spiritual church this is heavenly in different category.
What is church? Whoever baptized in living water and by the Holy Spirit is church. When was the church founded? The church was established at Pentecost when the disciples received the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the fundamental symbol of the church. The golden lampstand in the sanctuary is lighted at the moment when the person receives the Holy Spirit.The church is the golden lampstand. Holy Spirit is the proof of the inheritance of the kingdom of heaven. Therefore, the Holy Spirit testifies with our heart that we are children of God. That is, the True Jesus Church is united as one body in spirit. For this reason scripture says, "By one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free, and we drank of one Spirit." (1 Corinthians 12:13 NIV)
Salvation is accomplished by the Holy Spirit. It is the Holy Spirit who is really saving us. Therefore we must receive the Holy Spirit. That is why Paul ask Corinthian church" is Christ divided" when they are divided. It is of God that we are in Christ Jesus, and He has made him our wisdom, righteousness, holiness, and redemption. It is by the redemption of the Holy Spirit. Is the church divided? Of course not. Can we split it? Of course we can not. The true church is united in the Holy Spirit. For the Holy Spirit rules in the Church as the Lord. Jesus is the Lord of the church. The true church is the church of God, not of men. It is the Holy Spirit who really rules the church. Book of Acts is also known as acts of the Holy Spirit. It is the Holy Spirit who truly proclaims the word of truth. It is Jesus who do the salvation. It is the Holy Spirit that truly baptizes people. It is God who truly gives grace, heals, helps and blessings.
If the foot says, "Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body," it does not for that reason cease to belong to the body. If the ear says, "Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body," it is not for that reason any less of the body. One man said, I don't belong to the church. Doesn't he belong to the church? Of course not. God gave him the Holy Spirit and he still belongs to the church. One man said: He split the church. And can he split the church? Of course not. Will the Holy Spirit divide? Of course not. Could Jesus' body be split? Of course not.
The earthly organization is divided, but the true church is not divided, but one in the Holy Spirit. Why is there a theory of splitting the church that doesn't belong to the church? It is caused by some people's inadequate and wrong knowledge of the truth and their inadequate knowledge of the Holy Spirit. So there are many wrong rationalism. They invented a lot of their own theories.
The Holy Spirit is the fundamental symbol of the church. We need to know the word of the Spirit and explain spiritual things in spiritual terms. As the Corinthians are divided, so that their gathering are not for edifying, but for destruction. Because they deviate from the truth, from the biblical teaching, violates the truth, confuses the word of God, confuses the body of the Lord. Therefore many people in Corinth were weak, and many were sick, and many fell asleep. For they have lost vigilance and humility, and have turned away from the truth. And to this end Paul wrote unto them, encouraging them, and explaining unto them in the word of the Lord, and correcting their many errors, and helping them to know the word of God. Later, the Corinthians were persuaded by Paul and repented of godly sorrow, for godly sorrow brought repentance that led to salvation and left no repentance. What zeal, what complaint, what hatred, what dread, what longing, what zeal, what punishment they had when they were grieved according to god's will. Therefore, more progress in the Lord's path, more renewal in life, more abundant grace. The church becomes more spiritually formed through faith that Jesus Christ is spiritually one and grows in spiritual wisdom and stature to a more abundant life.
