I learnt from Bro Eli's teachings today 13th of April, 2021 during the mass Indoctrination that the proper name of the congregation built by God through the Lord Jesus Christ is church.
Greek bible says Ecclesia meaning calling out.
Members of the first church were called out of Judaism.
Galatians 1:13-14 KJV
For ye have heard of my conversation in time past in the Jews' religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God, and wasted it: [14] And profited in the Jews' religion above many my equals in mine own nation, being more exceedingly zealous of the traditions of my fathers.
Apostle Paul was talking about how he was called out of Judaism.
1 Corinthians 1:1-2 KJV
Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother, [2] Unto the church of God which is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all that in every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours:
Sadducees, Pharisees etc were called out of the diverse religions into the church.
John 11:52 KJV
And not for that nation only, but that also he should gather together in one the children of God that were scattered abroad.
Children of God scattered abroad will be gathered together.
Ephesians 4:4 KJV
There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;
Those that are called by God and given one hope are made of one body.
He will call all His children and gather them in one body. In Colossians 1:18 KJV
And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.
The church is the body where He gathers all the children of God.
There is only one church called the church of God
Singing is part of the gospel.
