Description
The Church and its Order According To Scripture
In many ways the name "Church" is misleading, partly because of a certain historical but unscriptural meaning attached to it, and partly because the word is used in so many different ways. For instance, a building where religious meeting there from a church of England, or Scotland-meaning the established form of religion in those countries. To the Romanist "the Church" means the Papal system, and ritualist something very similar. The Evangelical will tell us that the word has a twofold significance, designating respectively the visible and the invisible Church. Thus all professing Christendom forms the visible Church; while only the true believers form the invisible.
It is therefore necessary, as well as refreshing, to turn from these discordant definitions to the simple word of God, and gather from it the truths as to this important subject.
