What is the difference between the universal church and the local church?
-
The universal church is a Baptist church which is similar to the Catholic church and believes that the Messiah Jesus Christ has come and forgiven us for our sins. The Local church provides the church and its members with examples of spiritual maturity and Christlikeness.
-
The universal church is all of the believers that make up the body of Christ. The local church is a tangible unit of the body in which we can learn and grow, and serves as a light in the community.
-
Universal Church: The entire body of believers in the past, present, and future
Local Church: The local assembly of believers.
-
The universal church often refers to all born again believers in Jesus Christ. The local church refers to a body of believers within a local church building. This is a very heated discussion within the Christian community.
-
The universal church is the one all believers belong to because of their faith in Jesus. The local church is a place where believers go to have fellowship and unity in Jesus Christ.
