Here are some scriptures concerning the way the KJV of the Bible presents the real church:
Born Again:
John 3:7 Jesus says: Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
I Peter 1:23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.
(A man reported to me that he walked onto his back porch and "something happened" to him. I am much more comfortable that a person is "born again" when he reports hearing a word from God and when he reports being changed by God. Also beware of emotions and feelings. It is by the incorruptible word of God that we live and abide forever.)
John 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
Galatians 4:29 But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, even so it is now.
(Many in churches are not born again by the Spirit of God. They don't realize they are not really Christians. They think they are. But we can't understand scriptural things until we are born again.
1 Cor. 2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.)
Hebrews 2:13 And again, I will put my trust in HIM. And again, Behold I and the children which God hath given ME.
(Salvation is of God.)
Galatians 4:9 But now, after that ye have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage?
(The key is "being known by God". Jesus once said to them, Mt. 7:21-23 Not every one that saith unto ME, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of MY Father which is in heaven. Many will say to ME in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in THY name? and in THY name have cast out devils? and in THY name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them: I never knew you, depart from ME ye that work iniquity.)
John 3:6 Jesus says: That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
John 3:5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
I John 2:29 If ye know that HE (God) is righteous, ye know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of HIM.
I John 5:4 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.
(This means God showed us what to do in the problem at hand and we did that and overcame the problem through that which God told us.)
I John 1:13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
I John 5:1 Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loveth HIM that begat loveth him also that is begotten of HIM.
(God opens our eyes and causes us to believe as God did with Peter in Mt. 16:16-17 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but MY Father which is in heaven.)
I John 4:7 Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.

2 Cor. 9:1 For as touching the ministering to the saints, it is superfluous for me to write to you:
(The saints are all the real church. The real church are those persons born again by God by HIS Spirit and changed instantly by God.)

In the KJV of the Bible, these words are used to mean the real church: born again, saints, elect of God.
These 3 words are used interchangeably in the books of the KJV of the NT but in each case these words mean the church who is born again.
There is an apostate church which departs from specific scriptures and set up doctrine opposite from Bible. This is antichrist. These will be destroyed by Jesus when HE returns. 2 Thessalonians 2:8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of HIS mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of HIS coming:
Jesus is coming to remove, from this earth, the elect of God, those born again, the real Christians, the saints.
All real Christians will be taken by Jesus to that new heaven and new earth wherein dwelleth only righteousness. (Revelation 21)
