3. Isn't that true for most that never hear about The Church? BTW they need to hear the gospel, not about a church. And they need to believe it
4. why does the bible need to mention "it" by name since in the bible the church was never given a name......adjectives maybe, not not names

Prax, I totally agree with you. What I am referring to are the preachers that teach their congregation that they can only be apart of them if they want to see Jesus! This church, follow these rules, and no other....... I am not referring to the body of Christ and general criteria.
When you start staying that your church is the ONLY church that can and will lead you to Jesus then I think we fall into a very scary mindset.
