Most would agree that the Bible demonstrates the importance of the church. In Acts 2:47 Luke says, “And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.” Obviously to be saved is to be “in the church.” Likewise, to be in the church is to be “saved.” Paul wrote “For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the savior of the body” (5:23). Recently, however, the church concept has been minimized by many religious groups.
