When God formed the second body for His Son Christ to occupy, it was to reveal His agape through each member. I propose that a human is formed with limited capacities to phileo and eros and storge.

A human does not possess agape until God indwells him, because only God is agape! 

Because God is a spirit, His presence is invisible unless He reveals something about Himself that is visible.

To reveal His POWER, the Godhead spoke the universe into existence (Romans 1:19-20).

To  reveal His AGAPE, he created all humans with the capacity receive His full Presence (Col. 2:9).

To reveal His PRESENCE, He formed Christ's second body:

And God put all things under Christ's feet, and He gave Him to the church as head over all things. 
Now the church is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all. - Eph. 1:22-23.

 When that body gathers, it forms community where every person prophesies, filled with agape revelation:

But if all prophesy, and an unbeliever or uninformed person enters, he will be convicted by all, he will be called to account by all. - 1 Cor. 14:24
For you can all prophesy one after another, so all can learn and be encouraged. - I Cor. 14:31

1 Cor. 11 clearly teaches that agape is the greatest activity of Christ's body. Its witness causes the unbeliever to fall on his face and say, "GOD IS AMONG YOU!" - 1 Cor. 14:25

Conclusion: the authentic body of Christ meets to manifest His supernatural invisible Presence and Power. It is done house to house, where all prophesy.
