The church of Christ in its largest signification, is the whole company of regenerate persons in all times and ages, in heaven and on earth. Weston, who holds some of the same ideas as does the Scofield Bible, defines ekklesia in one sense as "the whole body of believers in Christ, from the day of Pentecost to the end of the dispensation." 5ĭr. Evarts says that "Christ's ekklesia, or church, embraces all the redeemed variously described as the mystic body, bride, family, temple or kingdom of Christ." 4 This certainly poses a problem for those who seek somethingĭr.

Despite the fact that the concept is so popular, there is a wide divergence of opinion about it. There is much confusion among them as to what it really is, how it operates, where it is, who belongs to it and perhaps other characteristics of it. There is no definite agreement among the scholars or the creeds as to this concept of the church. Nobody seems to know for certain what it is.
