So, you are the "us" in 1 John 2:19?
Quote:
Yes we are part of the church in X. I agree all believers are the church in X.
"We" refers to us who meet as the church in X. "They" who are not "we" refer to those who meet not as the church in X but as the denomination in X.
All believers in the city are the church in X. We believe that and meet as such. But not all come to our Lord's table meeting that so that makes them a "they" and us a "we".

Sectarian. Your spirit is sectarian, so it doesn't matter what your name is.
