WICKED SHEPHERDS
The Reformation has never ended. It is just beginning.
Jesus said, “Upon this rock I will build my ecclesia.” (Matt 16:18)
The Greek word often translated as “church” in many English versions is ekklesia (or ecclēsia).
The word is a compound word meaning “called-out” (ek, "out of or from," and kaleo, "a calling or to call"). It is His called out, obedient people, wherever they are.
The ecclesia is simply God’s “called-out” ones.
Jesus did NOT say that He would build a church and He did not do such a thing!

Called-Out Ones
The ecclesia of Christ is NOT a church!
All churches are the works and creations of men.
Jesus did not set up a religious institution of any kind.
The ecclesia is not a building.
It is not a denomination.
It is not a meeting, or doctrinal creed.
It is not somewhere we go.
It is not something we do.
It is who we are as believers!
