The scriptures do not talk about us being denominated by the name of Christ. The scriptures talk about a true believer having Christ IN them, the Hope of Glory, that one day, (soon I believe) all true Blood washed believers will have Glorified bodies.
I myself am sooooo looking forward to that Glorious moment when in the twinkling of an eye I will be changed from this corruptible body into my incorruptible body, from this mortal body into my immortal, sinless body for all eternity.
From Evangelical:
Taking the denominations out of the equation, let's say there are no denominations whatsoever, no Baptists, Pentecostals etc... are you saying here that the LC/LSM is now the embodiment of Christianity?
Keep in mind you said denominations are a stain on Christianity. Just looking for some clarification here.

There would be no LC or need for LSM if denominations did not exist. To clarify what I mean by this - one reason the LC and LSM exists today is because of Christianity's failure to renounce denominations.
Over history, God has raised up a separate group of people to accomplish His will. LC is one of them.
Re "The scriptures do not talk about us being denominated by the name of Christ. " - I don't agree, I agree with Spurgeon. Being called Christian means a Christ-follower, it is to be denominated by the name of Christ. Christ is the only name we should be denominated by. The problem with denominations is that they add to or replace the name of Christ with something else.
