Doctrine of the Church
2
The Church is a term which designates a totally
unique group of believers who at the moment of
salvation were called out of the cosmic system of
Satan
3
and were placed into union with the Lord Jesus
Christ through the Baptism of the Spirit and as a
result have been provided with totally unique
privileges and opportunities to glorify God.
4
Pre-Canon Before the New Testament was
completed (Book Acts 30-96 A.D.) 
5
Post-Canon After the New Testament was
completed (Epistles of New Testament 96
A.D.-Rapture)
6
Preposition ek (ek), out from.Verb kaleo
(kalevw), to call.
7
As a secular term, he ekklesia was a technical
term for the lawful assembly of free Greek
citizens met to transact public affairs.
8
It is attested from Eurpides and Herodotus
onwards (5th century B.C.) and denotes in the
usage of antiquity the popular assembly of the
competent full citizens of the polis, city.
9
Thus, ekklesia, centuries before the LXX and the
New Testament was clearly characterized as a
political phenomenon, repeated according to
certain rules and within a certain framework.
10
Ekklesia did not pass immediately from the
heathen world to the Christian church the LXX
supplied the point of transition.

Ekklesia, wherever it appears by itself as an
ecclesiological term, is to be understood as an
abbreviation of the original term ekklesia tou
theou, the church of God.
14
The New Thayers Greek Lexicon lists the following
meanings for the word (pages 195-196) A
gathering of citizens called out from their homes
into some public place an assembly
15
an assembly of Christians gathered for worship
16
a company of Christians, or of those who, hoping
for eternal salvation through Jesus Christ,
observe their own religious rites, hold their own
religious meetings, and manage their own affairs
according to regulations prescribed for the body
for orders sake
17
those who anywhere, in city or village,
constitute such a company and are united into one
body
18
the whole body of Christians scattered throughout
the earth collectively, all who worship and
honor God and Christ in whatever place they may
be.

A Greek-English Lexicon of the New Testament and
Other Early Christian Literature pages
240-241Assembly, as a regularly summoned
political bodyAssemblage, gathering, meeting
20
The congregation of the Israelites, especially
gathered for religious purposes
21
Of the Christian church or congregation
22
A church meeting The church or congregation as
the totality of Christians living in one place
23

which all believers belong The local church
24
The use of sunagoge in the early 1st century
church declined because it was permanently
associated with the dispensation of the client
nation of Israel, while the use of ekklesia
increased, not only because it was already
familiar but also because it had an honorable
meaning in Greek culture.
25
The members of these 1st Christian congregations
came in a large degree from the Jewish synagogues
which consisted of both Jews and proselytes.
26
The 1st and 2nd century Christians did not employ
synagogue as a term to describe themselves in
order to avoid being identified with the client
nation of Israel since the latter belong to an
entirely different dispensation.
27
Therefore, the term ekklesia was employed by
the New Testament writers as a technical term to
designate a totally unique group of believers who
at the moment of salvation were called out of the
cosmic system of Satan
28
and were placed into union with the Lord Jesus
Christ through the Baptism of the Spirit and as a
result have been provided with totally unique
privileges and opportunities to glorify God.
29
 The ekklesia began with the Baptism of the
Spirit on the day of Pentecost in June of 30 A.D.
(Acts 2), and will leave this earth at the
Rapture (1 Th. 413-17).
