I suggest removal of the "gathering of the called out ones" part. This is a root fallacy and will be removed if no one responds in two days Cloud Stryfe 00:42, 27 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The Called assembly of the Citizens. If they were called and they gathered, then wouldn't it suffice that it was a gathering of the called ones? —Preceding unsigned comment added by BroGinder (talkcontribs) 04:26, 13 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I suggest the removal of "scripture-based, mission-focused" in describing the Texan church. Both are subjective terms. Their use here implies that they have only one possible meaning. But both are open to vague interpretations. Most churches claim to be based on some form of scriptures, and to be focused on some mission. It is the nature of a church. The use to these terms here is unnecessary. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dfault312 (talkcontribs) 21:55, 4 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Why does the article open with "This is the nominative singular form of the Latin noun"? 1. This is confusing as the article clearly specifies that ἐκκλησία is from Greek in the previous sentence. 2. The Greek ἐκκλησία predates the Latin usage. 3. The Greek ἐκκλησία is far more commonly referenced than the Latin. When people use the word ecclesia in English, it is almost always a reference to its use in the New Testament to describe the churches, and almost all other references get their root from this Greek usage. To describe it as a form of the Latin noun is misleading and confusing. The Latin comes from the Greek, not vice versa, and the primary modern usage derives from Greek usages, not the Latin ones. Can someone give an argument why it shouldn't read "This is the nominative singular form of the Greek noun"? Chimon (talk) 08:29, 23 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
