Is every believer baptized by the Spirit into one body, or only the most spiritual?
Scripture teaches that every believer is baptized by the one Spirit into one body, the Church Universal. It is not limited to the most elite or most spiritual, which is man’s idea. This occurs invisibly at salvation, placing each believer into the body of Christ regardless of Jew or Gentile, bond or free.
Les explains from 1 Corinthians 12:12-13 that by one Spirit we all—every believer, not just the most elite or most spiritual—have been baptized into one body, the Church Universal. This is another act of God that we never felt and had no outside manifestation of; we know it happened only because the Book says it did. The body includes believers from whatever corner of the globe, whether Jew or Gentile, bond or free, and all have been made to drink into one Spirit. By the invisible act of the Holy Spirit, He places every believer, the moment they are saved, into this body of Christ, which will one day be His Bride. This is positional, not about sexuality.
For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ.

At the moment of salvation, the Holy Spirit performs an invisible act and places every believer into the body of Christ, the Church Universal, which will one day be His Bride. This baptism by one Spirit unites all believers—Jew or Gentile, bond or free—regardless of nationality or status.
What groups of people are included in the body of Christ?
The body of Christ includes every believer, not just an elite or especially spiritual group. Scripture specifies that it includes both Jew and Gentile and both bond and free, gathered from every corner of the globe. By one Spirit all believers are baptized into one body, the Church Universal, at the moment of salvation.
