I agree. I’ve alway thought of “apostasy” on the corporate level. For instance, I grew up in the 40’s and 50’s in the United Presbyterian Church. This organization was merged with what is now the Presbyterian USA. The UP Church in the 40’s and 50’s is a far cry from what the Presbyterian USA is today. Now, whether the USA Church has apostacized..I’ll leave for another topic. If they may be on their way to becoming an apostate church, could there be elect in their midst? Yes, of course. It may come to the point where the elect may have to “apostacize” (divorce—Gr. apostasion) from the “apostate”.
