That is factually incorrect.
The footnote on 1 Corinthians 1:12 says "To say "I am of Christ" is divisive".
We do not say we are "of Christ".
That would be the Churches of Christ, which is a denomination.
We are taught not to say we are of this or that, as this is being natural and not spiritual.
I agree that we are all the church. As I have stated many times before, we believe every believer in our locality is in the same church. So we believe that "we are all the church". Also, we do not insist that anyone join us. We are free to come and go as we please.
So once again you show your lack of understanding of the local church.
