THE ALL-INCLUSIVE GROUND OF THE CHURCH
FOR THE "INCLUSION" OF ALL GOD'S CHOSEN PEOPLE


The All-Inclusive Ground of Scriptural Churches
Receives and Builds Up All Believers


The biblical truth and pattern regarding the all-inclusive ground of the church
receives all believers and honors all ministries for the building up of all the Body,
unto the fullness of both the testimony and return of Jesus Christ.

God's all-extensive and all-inclusive desire as in 1 Timothy 2:3-4 ("Our Savior God, Who desires
all men to be saved and to come to the full knowledge of the truth") must also become our
desire and attitude toward all men, ministries and believers, thus the "ground" upon which we stand.




"Therefore I endure all things for the sake of the chosen ones, that they themselves
also may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory."
2 Timothy 2:10

"Being diligent to keep the oneness of the Spirit in the uniting bond of peace:
One Body and one Spirit, even as also you were called in one hope of your calling;
One Lord, one faith, one baptism; One God and Father of all,
who is over all and through all and in all."
Ephesians 4:3-6



Below are a few titles of the many excerpts available from various ministries which
confirm the governing and liberating truths in Scripture that are fundamentally necessary for
the unprecedented "INCLUSION" of God's chosen people unto the testimony and return of Jesus Christ.
