The Christian Church in Philadelphia

The Christian Church in Philadelphia is a congregation of believers who have confessed with our mouths the Lord Jesus and have believed in our hearts [spirits] that God has raised Him [Jesus] from the dead. Therefore, with our hearts [spirits] we have believed unto righteousness and with our mouths have confessed unto salvation. Thus, we have been saved! “If you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved; for with the heart man believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation” (Romans 10:9-10, New American Standard Bible). We also have been baptized into the body of Christ “by one Spirit” and therefore are of the body of Christ, and members individually (I Corinthians 12:13, 27, New American Standard Bible).
