Who becomes a member of the Body of Christ and what is the Body of Christ made up of?
Every true child of God, regardless of location or background, becomes a member of the Body of Christ. The Body of Christ is the invisible makeup of all believers from wherever they are on the planet and of whatever background.
Les explains that the Body of Christ is an invisible makeup of all believers, and every true child of God becomes a member of it. This is a Pauline revelation; the Body of Christ is not seen as taught until Paul comes and shares the revelations he received from the Ascended Lord. In 1 Corinthians 12, Paul has been explaining that believers from wherever they are on the planet and from whatever background are joined to that Body. The letter also addresses problems in the church because it was still carnal and had not grown spiritually.
