The Church: perfectly joined together in one heart and in one mind
I Cor. 1 ... 2 Unto the church of God which is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all that in every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours:
... 5 That in every thing ye are enriched by HIM, in all utterance, and in all knowledge; 6 Even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you: 7 So that ye come behind in no gift; waiting for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ: 8 WHO shall also confirm you unto the end, that ye may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 God is faithful, BY WHOM ye were called unto the fellowship of HIS Son Jesus Christ our Lord.
10 Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.

Is it possible for a church group to be "perfectly joined together"? in same mind and same judgment? enriched by God, in all utterance and all knowledge ...
When each of us have the Holy Spirit in us, we are of one judgment and that is the judgment of God by the Holy Spirit.
Those who are of different minds will leave us and go to another church group when we have a strong rule of God in our group and refuse all other doctrines.
We have a very small church group of 7 ... two died this past year ...
But we are perfectly joined together.
And why not?
We, the church, have the mind of Christ. I Cor. 2
New Covenant Church: God says: 16 This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them; Heb. 10
*****
When there are different judgments on one issue we come together by the Holy Spirit into one mind on the issue.
In writing these books, over the past year, you have seen what a perfect mind Pam Padgett and I have in working together.
When I was in my bedroom and had some extremely severe pain and did not feel like trying to get to computer in another room to send a message to an individual who needed correction, I called Pam and asked her to send the message. We are of one mind. She sent the message as perfectly as I could have sent it, for we have the same mind in us, the mind of Christ by the Spirit of God.
But in the churches the devil has planted tares. Jesus told us about this. They would disrupt the Spirit of God. And in most churches the leaders are already antichrist, against doctrine of Christ.
But in our little group, we do function in one mind and by the Spirit of God we come to one mind if division tries to surface.
