We are taught from Scripture that the church is an entirely new creation that came into being on the day of Pentecost and will continue until it is taken to heaven at the rapture (Ephesians 1:9-11; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-17).
Sisi tunafundishwa katika maandiko kwamba kanisa ni kiumbe kipya kabisa ambacho kilikuwa siku ya Pentekoste na kitaendelea mpaka kichukuliwe mbinguni wakati wa kunyakuliwa (Waefeso 1:9-11, 1 Wathesalonike 4:13-17).
