    Think that what can come into this equation would be just "how" we view the biblical definition of the "Church"...

    is it JUST local assemblies, or is there a "Universal" church in play also here?

    It would seem (contra those who live and die with their skewed version of local church only) that a universal church would have to exist to meet the various mandates and examples in Scripture. I would also say that we've been down this road in debate on the board before and no level of biblical exegesis will convince those who hold to a local only form of church will ever agree that the Scriptures have something much grander in mind, or that they are doing great damage to the overall doctrine of the kingdom of God and rather centering their efforts on a very anthropocentric point of view.
