( use control F once there and type characteristics of the New Testament Body
Today most religious denominational/evangelical bodies are man made doing many false sinful ways and are not of the Lord's FULL Word and Ways. If you study God's true body and know it well, the fakes ( evangelical / denominational / man made cults and systems; they will NOT fool you!
The TRUE NT body is not open for just anyone to walk in. No, it is by Christs blood/the gospel that you enter in. Then through fellowship together can you ever gain entrance to a local true NT gathering. Man made Sunday church has made it OPEN to all and this is sinful, unbiblical and dangerous!

among you, let him be your servant: Even as the Son of man came not to
be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.

14. Lord’s Supper
Matthew
26:26-28 And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and
blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat;

mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established. And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it
unto to the church: but if he neglect to hear the church, let him be unto thee as
an heathen man and a publican.1 Corinthians 5:11 But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolator, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat.

2 thess 2:15
These points above are not all inclusive but are some very important biblical aspects of the true New Testament body. It is what we are striving for (per God's Word) but sadly more often than not in the modern religious systems what we see is what Paul spoke of that would come in the last days.
2 Timothy 3 1-13 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith. But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as their's also was. But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience, Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the Lord delivered me. Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.
But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.
But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them; And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.
