"And I also say to you that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build My church; and the gates of Hades shall not overpower it.  Matthew 16:18 (NAS)

One Church:

The church that Jesus built was one body of Christians or believers. Jesus did not create a myriad of different churches with different beliefs. Consider the following scriptures:

Ephesians 4:4-6 -- "There is one body and one Spirit, just 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. (NAS)

Romans 12:4-5 -- "For just as we have many members in one body and all the members do not have the same function, so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another." (NAS)

1 Corinthians 10:17 -- "Since there is one bread, we who are many are one body; for we all partake of the one bread." (NAS)

1 Corinthians 12:12-20 -- "For even as the body is one and yet has many members, and all the members of the body, though they are many, are one body, so also is Christ. For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free, and we were all made to drink of one Spirit. For the body is not one member, but many. If the foot should say, "Because I am not a hand, I am not a part of the body," it is not for this reason any the less a part of the body. And if the ear should say, "Because I am not an eye, I am not a part of the body," it is not for this reason any the less a part of the body. If the whole body were an eye, where would the hearing be? If the whole were hearing, where would the sense of smell be? But now God has placed the members, each one of them, in the body, just as He desired. And if they were all one member, where would the body be? But now there are many members, but one body." (NAS)
