Has there ALWAYS been a true church?

[votivesoul]

Everyone in the world who has been immersed by the Holy Spirit, is of the faith of the Son of God, and as such, is a member of the household of faith/God. Which makes them a lively stone in the temple of the Father (provided that they are walking and living in the Spirit, and haven't just received the Holy Spirit twenty years ago as some unimportant, historical experience that doesn't mean anything to them anymore).

It cannot be so that a person can receive the gift of the Holy Spirit, and not be a believer in Jesus of Nazareth.

Do you know if this group meets together, or are they just an online group? I could find nothing on the website as to where this group meets? It sounds very interesting.

I don't know of any gatherings at present. I think Votive Soul might know something about this.

I simply agree to their general tenants.
