The word 'church' does not refer to a building or an organization, but to a people who understand their identity in Christ. In Matthew 16:18, Jesus basically said that, "...you are 'peteros' (speaking of a rock-splinter or a small piece of rock, which comes from a bigger rock 'petra') and upon this 'petra', upon this revelation of who I am and who you are; upon this revelation of My true identity and your true identity revealed, I will build My 'CHURCH',...
