IntroductionMiriam-Webster's dictionary defines unity as the state of being in complete agreement. When we read the Bible, it is clear that God's will is for the Church to be unified. In I Corinthians 1:10, the apostle Paul calls for the church to be perfectly united in spirit and word and to have no divisions among themselves. Today we see various denominations or, as Miriam-Webster's dictionary defines it, religious organizations united in their adherence to their beliefs and practices. This begs the question: where is this United Church described in the Bible? This article will discuss the Protestant doctrine of the invisible Church. The invisible church is made up of people who are not only outwardly religious, but who have also made a true confession of faith in the atoning work of Jesus Christ.

And this is the only church we can see and commune with; we have no gnostic recourse to any church other than the visible church. » The conclusion is this: one can perceive and understand the distinction between the terms visible and invisible church because the concept of invisible church is scriptural.
