century)

For many Protestant Christians, the Christian Church has two components: the church visible,
institutions in which "the Word of God purely preached and listened to, and the sacraments
administered according to Christ's institution", as well as the church invisible—all "who are
truly saved" (with these beings members of the visible church).[7][2][8] In this understanding
of the invisible church, "Christian Church" (or catholic Church) does not refer to a particular
Christian denomination, but includes all individuals who have been regenerated.
[2] The branch theory, which is maintained by some Anglicans, holds that those Churches that
have preserved apostolic succession are part of the true Church.[9] This is in contrast to
the one true church applied to a specific concrete Christian institution, a Christian
ecclesiological position maintained by the Catholic Church, the Eastern Orthodox Church,
the Oriental Orthodox churches, Assyrian Church of the East and the Ancient Church of the
East.[1][10][3]
Most English translations of the New Testament generally use the word church as a
translation of the Ancient Greek ἐκκλησία (romanized ecclesia), found in the
original Greek texts, which generally meant an "assembly" or "congregation".[11] This term
appears in two verses of the Gospel of Matthew, 24 verses of the Acts of the Apostles, 58
verses of the Pauline epistles (including the earliest instances of its use in relation to a
Christian body), two verses of the Letter to the Hebrews, one verse of the Epistle of James,
three verses of the Third Epistle of John, and 19 verses of the Book of Revelation. In total,
ἐκκλησία appears in the New Testament text 114 times, although not every instance is a
technical reference to the church.[12] As such it is used for local communities as well as in a
universal sense to mean all believers.[13] The earliest recorded use of the
term Christianity (Greek: Χριστιανισμός) was by Ignatius of Antioch, in around 100 AD.[14]
