used to describe two distinct aspects of
the one church; or, to put it another way,
the church is considered from two
different perspectives.

45. It is not that there are two separate air
tight categories with one group on
heaven and another on earth. On the

both categories. All genuine believers are
members of the invisible church whether
they are living in heaven or on earth,
whether they are alive or dead"

46. "Starting around the 4th century - the
expression "Visible Church" was refered
to by theologians, not to a building, but to
the members on the rolls of a local
church. In other words, all persons who
are members of a local church are
considered to be a part of the visible
church.
