What is the difference between the universal church and the local church?

[Deleted User]

The universal church is a term used for the people of God, all who belong to Jesus Christ throughout history regardless of time and space.
Local church refers a group of committed believers in a particular location that organizes itself into a particular structure. The local church is a subset of the universal church within a specific and particular time and space. Biblically there is no distinction as all belong to God.
