Greetings to All:

John the Baptist, Jesus Christ and the Twelve preached the “Gospel of the Kingdom” to Israel only during the Four Gospels and early Acts for gathering the Prophetic KingdomBride” (Jn 3:29). Israel was to accept the good news that the kingdom of heaven was “at hand” to become a “royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession (1Pet. 2:9) in fulfillment of Old Testament prophecy. As it is written,
“I will betroth you to Me forever; Yes, I will betroth you to Me in righteousness and in justice, In lovingkindness and in compassion, And I will betroth you to Me in faithfulness. Then you will know the Lord. Hosea 2:19-20.

Jesus Christ chooses Peter to lead the Kingdom Church offering the “keys of the kingdom” while establishing specific terms, saying,
“I also say to you that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build My church; and the gates of Hades will not overpower it. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; and whatever you bind on earth shall have been bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall have been loosed in heaven.” Then He warned the disciples that they should tell no one that He was the Christ.” Matthew 16:18-20.

Jesus Christ lays down basic rules for the disciples and this newly forming Kingdom Church, saying,
“But if he does not listen to you, take one or two more with you, so that by the mouth of two or three witnesses every fact may be confirmed. If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church; and if he refuses to listen even to the church, let him be to you as a Gentile and a tax collector. Truly I say to you, whatever you bind on earth shall have been bound in heaven; and whatever you loose on earth shall have been loosed in heaven.” Matthew 18:16-18.

This Kingdom Church is based in “Jerusalem” (Acts 8:1, 11:22, 15:4) representing the Capitol of the Kingdom of Priests (Ex. 19:6) “on earth AS IT IS in heaven.” Matt. 6:10. Kingdom Disciples from the Kingdom Church are under Mosaic Law, until heaven and earth pass away (Matt. 5:17-19, James 2:10) being “justified by works and not by faith alone” (James 2:24). Kingdom Disciples have three baptisms (Acts 19:1-6) in the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit (Matt. 28:19). Kingdom Disciples in the Kingdom Church do not have eternal security and must “endure to the end” (Matt. 24:13) to be saved and must be baptized in water for the forgiveness of sins (Mark 16:15-16, 1Peter 3:21).

Our Body of Christ Mystery Church (Eph. 5:32, Col. 1:24) was not seen by the Old Testament prophets (Eph. 3:4-9) with Gentile-dominant churches established throughout the known world (Rom. 1:8). Our citizenship is in “heaven” (Phil. 3:20) and we are under grace and not under law. Rom. 6:14. Body of Christ church members are justified by faith apart from works (Rom. 4:4-6) and our mystery church started with Paul on the road to Damascus (Acts 9:15).

Body of Christ church members receive only “one baptism” (Eph. 4:5) done by the Holy Spirit (Eph. 1:13-14, 4:30) upon hearing and believing the Gospel of the Grace of God part of the “whole purpose of God” (Acts 20:24-27) that includes a Mystery Body Church “and” a Kingdom Bride Church described above gathered via “preaching the kingdom.” Christ Body members have eternal security being seated in the heavenly places “in” Christ Jesus (Eph. 2:4-7) with lives hidden with Christ “in” God. Col. 3:3. Brethren in Christ are addressed only by the Apostle Paul (1Cor. 14:37-38) are saved by obeying our gospel without adding works (Rom. 1:16-17, 1Cor. 1:21, Eph. 2:8-9).

Do you see the differences between Peter’s Prophetic Kingdom Bride Church and Paul’s Mystery Body of Christ Church in the world today? Good luck in the debate.

Hi Light:

Thank you for writing on the Two Churches Topic. You wrote:

Thank you again for bumping this thread to the top of the Board, but the topic is about the differences between Peter's Kingdom Bride Church and Paul's Mystery Body of Christ Church from the Pauline Epistles. Your query reminds me of Paul's statements in Galatians 3:8.

Blessings,

I believe that is a false interpretation. I don't believe having the keys is a license to lead. Also there is no sense that Peter has exclusive use of the keys.

Hi Muffled:

Please forgive, but "I believe that is a false interpretation" is an unsupported opinion and vague at best and what "I don't believe" has little use in any debate of God's Living and Active Word. The idea is to "quote >>" from my supported statements presenting the Two Churches interpretations to then make a case for something else using Scripture. 2Timothy 2:15. We see Christ's statements to Peter about the keys of the kingdom in Matthew 16 as posted above. Right? Christ's words in the Holy Text stand for themselves, which has little influence on the Two Churches hypothesis, interpretations and conclusions presented in the OP of this thread. If you really believe that there is only one "church" in the NT, then I would really like to see your presentation using support from God's Word. :0)

After all, we see Paul, Barnabas and Titus (Body of Christ) meeting with Peter, John and James (Kingdom Bride) in the meeting in Jerusalem in Acts 15 and Galatians 2 suggesting that my Two Churches case in the OP is rock solid.

Blessings,

Terral
