"Every church of Christ is a self-governing body, free to carry on its own affairs and work under Christ and the apostles. This power of self-government is carried out through elders (who are also called "bishops" and "pastors") in every church. Note that it is not a plurality of churches under one bishop, but rather, a plurality of bishops in every church!" ~ PFKEY

When PFKEY speaks of the Church of Christ he does not mean your church or mine. He means His denomination the "Church of Christ " as being the only one that saves

One of the things that is becoming more self evident to me is we all use similar language but we mean different things
