Biblical Subordination expressed by scholars God; he assigns to Him the divine functions of creation, salvation, and judgment; and he probably also calls Him God explicitly. Paul makes Christ's eternal pre-existence more explicit than the Synoptists did.

Kittel, Gerhard: Theological Dictionary of the New Testament Notice that although Kittel admits, like all Trinitarians do, that the developed doctrine of the Nicene Trinity is not in the Scripture, but that early Christians believed Jesus was divine and rejected Jesus was a creature!

Is Church Membership Essential to my salvation? As a result of his repentant, obedient faith in Jesus, the believer becomes a member of the Lord's body, which is the Lord's church (see Eph. 1:22-23). We can consider this membership a divine, dependable reaction to the believer's obedience. Thus, all Christians are members of the Lord's church, and there are no Christians who are not members of His church. Remember, it is the Lord and only the Lord who decides on the membership of His church. (Read Acts 4:12) We must be crystal clear here; the church does not save. Christ does that and only Christ. One must be in Christ to be saved and no one can be saved ... To answer this question, we observe that Acts 2:42 records that the very first Christians continued steadfastly in the apostle's doctrine.

The end result was that Rev. Irving was eventually excommunicated from the Presbyterian Church and he formed his own organization. He was defrocked not so much for the charismatic extremism but for his heterodox view of the nature of Christ, his Christology was aberrant.
