The apostle Paul talks citizenship when he is talking kingdom or talking church. Notice these words in Philippians:
Phil. 1:25 Since I am convinced of this, I know that I will remain and continue with all of you for your progress and joy in faith,
Phil. 1:27 Only, live your life in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that, whether I come and see you or am absent and hear about you, I will know that you are standing firm in one spirit, striving side by side with one mind for the faith of the gospel,
