The Bible tells us that there is one God, One Faith, on Baptism and one Church.

With over 5000 Denominations who and where is Gods true believers and His Church and how can they be identified? There is a way.

Please define 'Church' and 'denomination'.
Are any of your denominations listed  Revolutions?

freeman4:
Many people today understand the church as a building. This is not a biblical understanding of the church. The word “church” comes from the Greek word ekklesia which is defined as “an assembly” or “called-out ones.” The root meaning of “church” is not that of a building, but of people. It is ironic that when you ask people what church they attend, they usually identify a building. Romans 16:5 says “… greet the church that is in their house.” Paul refers to the church in their house—not a church building, but a body of believers.

There are many buildings and they are called Churches, but only one group of people that is called " the Church" the body of Christ and they follow Him in one way, not many. There are Christians in every Congregation but every congregation is not of God.

Two churches, the visible and invisible.

One by water baptism and one by baptism of the Holy Spirit.

Was there any dominations in Paul's time? Yes.

clark thompson:
The people of the church is anyone who follow the truth of the word and accepts Jesus as Lord. The church the bible often refers to is the believers in Christ.
