Some see a church as the church because of the preaching of the word, the administration of the sacraments, and discipline.
Others see it as an assembly of the elect.
If the ministry of the church was present and properly practiced but there was not a single regenerate person in their midst would that church still be properly called a church? Does a church need elect people in order to exist?
