‘Mid-Acts-ers’ teach that ‘the body of Christ’ is ONLY those saints who have been saved through the ministry of PAUL .... to the EXCLUSION of ALL other saints that were saved BEFORE Paul .... or through another minister, other than Paul.
Could anyone show me the verse that teaches that?
If so, please e-mail magnifiedword@aol.com.
If not, don’t believe the ‘mid-Acts-ers’.
Instead, trust the word of GOD.
Rom 4:3-a For what saith the scripture?
There were Jewish believers who were ‘in Christ’ BEFORE Paul:
Rom 16:7 Salute Andronicus and Junia, my kinsmen, and my fellowprisoners, who are of note among the apostles, who also were in Christ before me.
The churches of Judaea were ‘in Christ’ BEFORE Paul:
Gal 1:21-23 Afterwards I came into the regions of Syria and Cilicia;
22 And was unknown by face unto the churches of Judaea which were in Christ:
23 But they had heard only, That he which persecuted us in times past now preacheth the faith which once he destroyed.
Don’t forget .... there is only ONE faith:
Eph 4:5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism,
The church of God existed BEFORE Paul:
1 Cor 15:9 For I am the least of the apostles, that am not meet to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.
Gal 1:13 For ye have heard of my conversation in time past in the Jews' religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God, and wasted it:
For ‘mid-Acts-ers’ to make a DIFFERENCE and a DIVIDE .... between being ‘in Christ’ and being ‘in the body of Christ’ is totally ridiculous.
This is David Dowell saying, "Think about it!"
