While salvation is individual and personal,it is always with a view to us being members of The body of Christ the church corporately, members in particular 1cor12:12-18 . god has placed the members in the body as it pleases Him.
Each member has come to Mt.Zion the Heavenly Jerusalem.
Hebrews 12:22-24.
When Saul attacked individual church members Jesus asked him why he persecuted Him.
Sanctification has apersonal aspect as well as a Corporate aspect,ie, all of the One Anothering passages, love one another, admonish one another, pray for one another,encorage one another etc.
These things cannot take place apart from individual new birth. anything less than new birth is fleahly and hypocritical.
