A Baptist church, Lutheran church, Catholic church, etc., is not the church, as in the universal church—but rather is a local church, a local body of believers.
Kanisa la Kibaptisiti, Kilutheri, Katholiki na mengine, si kanisa, vile iilvyo katika kanisa la ujumla, bali haya ni makanisa ya nyumbani (Mshambani/Mjini), ule mwili wa nyumbania wa waumini.
