Dear UntoHim,

The ground of church is not mentioned literally in the Bible, just as Trinity is not. What matters is what the ground of church is talking about. The ground is simply locality. This means there is no dividing factor among Christians except locality, or time-and-space limitation which was given to man who is not as omnipresent as God.

And then, please think about "The Southern Baptist" which Hope mentioned. Of course, I agree with their activities except their name - The sourthern Baptist. As you siad, "It was not used, or even faintly implied, by the Lord Jesus or the scripture writing apostles." To me, the name itselt sounds very divisive.
