Ephesians 4:3 Being diligent to keep the oneness of the Spirit in the uniting bond of peace.
The organic Body is undivided and it is also indivisible (1 Corinthians 1:13a). It is not autonomous. This unique Body of Christ is expressed in many local churches (Revelation 1:11) in the divine oneness as it is with the Triune God (John 17:11, 21, 23) and in the divine nature, element, essence, expression, function, and testimony. There are many churches, yet they have one divine nature, one divine element, one divine essence, one divine expression, one divine function, and one divine testimony because they are one Body. (The Issue of the Dispensing of the Processed Trinity and the Transmitting of the Transcending Christ, p. 93)
All the believers in Christ are the components of the Body of Christ. Practically, they are scattered in many cities on this earth. Spontaneously, they are separated into many units in each city, respectively, according to their dwelling. According to the New Testament pattern set up and ordained by God and according to the principle of the New Testament revelation concerning God’s economy of the church, in each city in which the believers dwell, it is not allowed to have more than one unit as a local expression of the unique Body of Christ, nor is it permitted to have a local church in a certain city without the proper fellowship in the Body of Christ with the other local churches.
