There is currently, one church. There is only the body of believers composed of those who have chosen to trust in Christ and receive the Holy Spirit.
There is one city in eternity. The new Jerusalem.
These two things are the one church, one city.
These two are not easily seen by us now, but the spiritual reality of these things is already here. The things we can easily see are just an illusion, in a sense. The denominations are not eternal. Physical cities and deliniations here in earth are temporal. No need to worry about the model set forth by the local church. Just another deception that the Lord needs to shine through.

Amen! I struggle to be as eloquent but that about sums it up.
