The Body and Bride of Christ
We believe that all believers are members of the Church, which is the Body and Bride of Christ, which began at Pentecost and is completely distinct from Israel. We believe that by the Holy Spirit, all believers are baptized into and become members of one universal Body of Christ, and have a sober responsibility to rise above their differences in non-theological issues, submitting themselves to each other to prevent being a spiritual stumbling block, and to preserve the unity of the Spirit, loving one another with a pure heart.
