52 – The Church and the Rapture

The Church is the Body of the Christ. The Church which is invisible and this is what Christ called His Church – His Body, the real believers. It is the invisible Church, you can't see it obviously. You don't know who's a believer and who is really not a believer. That's the invisible Church. Colossians 1:18 calls it the "Body of Christ", the "Body of the Messiah." Jesus referred to the genuine "Invisible" church as His Sheep. It is composed of both Jew and Gentile believers. Is composed of all true believers from Acts 2 (Pentecost) until the rapture. It excludes the OT Saints and Tribulation Saints. It's life in existence is from the 1st Pentecost after Jesus Resurrection until the Rapture.One gets into the Body by Spirit Baptism after belief. It is a one-time event.
