Matthew 16:13-20 || Tim Shorey || The Church is the Assembly of everyone in every age whom God calls out of this world to be Christ’s disciples; which, in these Last Days (from when Jesus returned to heaven to when he comes back), is made visible in local assemblies of baptized believing members who are committed sincerely to (1) submit to the Headship of Christ, (2) worship the Triune God, (3) obey Christ’s teaching through his appointed (and
accountable) pastor-teacher-leaders, (4) embrace true accountability, (5) practice Communion and prayer, (6)serve one another in fellowship, and (7) make more disciples.
