New Testament Christianity was not promulgated as a civil and ecclesiastical constitution for peoples and nations. It is uthe Gospel of the Kingdom for the obedience of faith, with the uall things”enjoined upon the baptised by the Apostles. It is an invitation to Jews and Gen­tiles to become heirs of God's kingdom and glory, on condition of believing uthe things of the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, and being immersed into the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit (Matt. 28:19; Acts 8:12). They are invited to separate themselves from the institutions of the nations, which are of no spiri­tual account in the affair of salvation. In believing and obeying the truth, this separation is effected; and though believers live under the schismatic constitutions of the Gentiles, as Jewish Christians in Pales­tine lived under the Mosaic constitution, they have no use for the mass spiritual institutions. God sent the Gospel invitation to the Gen­tiles “to take out of them a people for His Name u (Acts 15:14). The Apocalypse outlines the bitterness of the warfare of faith engaged in by those separated ones now and in the past, and the glorious con­summation when, at last, * the kingdom of this world becomes the Kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ, and he shall reign forever and ever” (Rev. 11:15).
