The body of Christ are true believers (The Church). Not everyone in a church is part of the body of Christ because we know that not all church members belong to Christ.
Some are counterfeit or false.
See Romans 12:4-5; I Corinthians 12: 12-14; 12:27; Ephesians 5:29-30; Colossians 1:18.
The temple of the Holy Spirit is also the Body of Christ (Ephesians 2:19-22)
and each individual believer (I Corinthians 3:16-17; 6:20).
No, when you accept Jesus Christ, you get the Holy Spirit inside of you thus, your body becomes the temple of the Holy Spirit. You cannot have the Holy Spirit with you, just in you. When you sin, and you have accepted Jesus Christ, you feel bad because the Holy Spirit inside of you is sad because you sinned. The Holy Spirit is Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ is the Father, God. They are one.
No. Christians believe that their body is the temple of the Holy Spirit. God gives his Holy Spirit to all who believe.
The Holy Spirit is the soul of the Church, the Body of Christ. He is with Christ, the Head of the Church, in each member of the Church to unite them, and in the Church as a whole in perfect harmony. In the Body of Christ, the Holy Spirit builds up the Body in charity, forms the Body through Baptism, gives growth and heals its members by the Sacraments and distributes His gifts and is the source of all virtues and special graces. Accordingly, the Church is the Temple of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit also brings out the faith in people, so that he or she may have an eternal life with the Lord, our God and with Jesus Christ, whom the Father sent.
The four images of the church commonly referenced are the Body of Christ, the People of God, the Temple of the Holy Spirit, and the Bride of Christ. The Body of Christ emphasizes the unity and diversity of believers working together. The People of God highlights the community aspect of faith and God’s chosen people. The Temple of the Holy Spirit signifies the church as a sacred space where God dwells, while the Bride of Christ illustrates the intimate and covenantal relationship between Christ and the church.
When a person accepts Jesus Christ as their personal Savior (Born Again; Saved; Regenerated; come to the Lord, a Christian) the Holy Spirit comes to dwell in that person. The Holy Spirit is "God the Holy Spirit", the third person of the Trinity. I Corinthians 3:16-17, " Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? If anyone defiles the temple of God, God will destroy him. For the temple of God is holy, which temple you are." I Corinthians 6:19-20, "Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? For you were bought with a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's." The Christian's body is a temple because the Holy Spirit dwells with in them. We belong to God.
The true church is the Bride and body of Christ and has been indwelt by the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit has given the "Fruit of the Spirit" to Jesus' followers, which make them to be like Jesus
The Holy Spirit Enters into the Bread and Wine, thus Making it the Literal Body & Blood Of Christ Jesus.
Biblical text does not state "Jesus built a Temple" In John 2:19 you will find written the following quote from Christ "Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up" The people of the temple whom he was speaking to, thought Christ was speaking about a building, but he was speaking of his own body, which contained the holy spirit (a temple). Christ's resurrection was proof of these words which he spake.
It is throught the Power Of the Holy Spirit that the Bread & Wine Become the Body & Blood Of Christ.
You receive the body and blood of Jesus Christ. As Catholics we believe that there is the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist, that it is his body, blood, soul, and divinity.
The question is "How many Holy Temples" are there in the world? This is easy. Millions. According to 1 Corinthians 6:19-20, "Or do you know know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price, so glorify God in your body." This verse is very clear to answering this question. Only those who have received Jesus Christ as their personal savior have the Holy Spirit within them. Another term for this is "born again" as mentioned by Jesus in John 3:3. All believers in the world who have received Jesus in their heart are God's Holy Temple. According to the Bible, there are believers in all nations of the world. Therefore, millions have received Christ as their Savior and Lord and by doing that, makes them all a Holy Temple, because the Holy Spirit lives in them.
Pentecostal Holy Temple Church of Jesus Christ was created in 1882.
