"Jesus never mentions buildings;
never mentions denominations.
Instead, he defined the Church as the
body of believers; believers who came
from places such as Galatia, Ephesus,
Corinth, Thessalonica, and Colossae.
But he never mentioned Methodist;
he never mentioned Baptist; he never
mentioned Catholic, Presbyterians,
Episcopalians, Pentecostals; he never
mentioned any denomination; Jesus
only saw them as being a fellowship."
Charles Austin, Sr., pastor and Columbia
Chief of Police, delivers a sermon at the
Village of Hope Fellowship on Pentecost Day.
