<P> The African Methodist Episcopal Church, a part of the World Methodist Council, defines the Church Militant as "engaged in constant warfare against the world, the flesh and the devil, and in that respect is distinguished from the Church Triumphant ." It defines the Church Militant as inclusive of all Christian denominations, among them Methodism, Presbyterianism, Baptist churches, Congregational churches, Anglicanism, among many others . In the same fashion, it defines the Church Triumphant as existing "in heaven, and consist (ing) of those who have washed their robes and made them immaculate and pure in the blood of the Lamb ." </P> <P> In Methodist theology, "the communion expressed at the Eucharist is not only within the Church Militant, but is between the Church Militant and the Church Triumphant ." </P> <P> The Seventh - day Adventist Church defines the terms in the following ways, "While in this world the church is a militant church, daily engaged in the battles of its Lord, and in warfare against satanic agencies . Its members are in constant conflict with the world, the flesh, and the powers of evil (Rom. 7: 15--23; Gal. 5: 17; 1 Peter 5: 8, 9; 1 John 5: 4; cf. 1 John 4: 4). If this side of the Lord's return the church is the militant church, the church of the New Jerusalem is the triumphant church . It is made up of faithful disciples and conquerors in this worldly battle . They have exchanged the sword for a palm of victory (Rev 7: 9) and the cross for a crown (2 Tim . 4: 8; 1 Peter 5: 4). The battle is over, the mission accomplished (Matt . 25: 21, 23) and the redeemed, invited to the wedding feast of the Lamb (Rev. 19: 9), eat and drink at Christ's table in His kingdom (Luke 22: 28--30) and reign with Him for ever and ever (Rev 22: 5)." Thus, the Seventh - day Adventist view is unique in that the church is the Church Militant until the general resurrection at the end of the present age . The church becomes the Church Triumphant only after the second coming of Christ . </P> <P> The two states account of the church was adapted by Anatoly Lunacharsky to distinguish between a socialistic culture of the future (Ecclesia triumphans) and proletarian culture of the proletariat struggling in the present against capitalism (Ecclesia militans). This theoretical approach was used in the development of Proletkult . </P>
