In Brief...
Organized religion (read corporate church) is a God-ordained monument to the flesh (teaching as doctrines the traditions of men) set in contrast to the Ekklesia, the called-out body of believers (the glorious liberty of the children of God, worshiping in spirit and truth). These are not synonymous.
For the vast majority of believers organized religion is a Divine training ground that sets bondage against liberty, law against grace. Man's traditions obscure truth. Most believers are, or have been, professing "members" of some corporate church. It is the experience of bondage that makes liberty so sweet.
In contrast, all believers have been placed (called out) into the body by its Head, Christ Jesus our Lord. And in time all will be set free.
Both are a necessary part of Father's purpose.
