Did believers feel the Holy Spirit placing them into Christ's body?
No. Scripture teaches that this act of God was never felt by believers; there was no outside manifestation. The only way we know it happened is because the Book says it did. By one Spirit, every believer is baptized into one body, the body of Christ, at salvation.
Les explains that this is another act of God that you and I never felt, and we had no outside manifestation of it. The only way we know it happened is because the Book says it did. He points to 1 Corinthians 12:12-13: by one Spirit, the Holy Spirit, all believers—not just the most elite or spiritual—are baptized into one body, the Church Universal, which includes believers from whatever corner of the globe, whether Jew or Gentile, bond or free, and all have been made to drink into or partake of one Spirit. Les emphasizes that by the invisible act of the Holy Spirit, He places every believer, the moment they are saved, into the body of Christ, which will one day be His Bride. He reminds us this is not about sexuality but position.
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.
For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.
