Another note….. a local “church” organization …. Call it Denomination A…may have true born again believers attending and it may have non-born again “tares” as members. So in Denom A, we may find born again Bob and not born again Terry….. both members of the same “church.”

There may be another denomination…. Call it Denomination B…. Perhaps located Indonesia…. And it may have significant cultural differences with Denom A…. But in the same way, Denom B may have as a member….born again Budi and tare Tagi.

Bob and Budi are Christians within the Body of Christ…. Terry and Tagi are not.


Both the wheat and tares may grow together in the same field, but will indeed be separated at the harvest.

The tax collector said: “Lord Jesus, have mercy on me, a sinner.” Jesus said he went home “justified.”
