The use of sunagoge in the early 1st century church declined because it was
permanently associated with the dispensation of the client nation of Israel, while the use of ekklesia increased, not only because it was already familiar
but also because it had an honorable meaning in Greek
culture.
![Page 25: Doctrine of the Church. The Church is a term which designates a totally unique group of believers who at the moment of salvation were called out of the](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062313/56649f4e5503460f94c6f6fd/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

The 1st and 2nd century Christians did not employ synagogue as a term to describe themselves in order to avoid being identified with the client nation of Israel
since the latter belong to an entirely different dispensation.
