What is the Body of Christ composed of according to 1 Corinthians 12?
According to 1 Corinthians 12, the Body of Christ is composed of people who have been baptized by the Holy Spirit. This baptism is not an emotional or physical phenomenon; it is an unfeeling work, known only because Scripture says so, not by feeling or emotional experience.
Les explains that in 1 Corinthians chapter 12, Paul is dealing with the Body of Christ, which is composed of people who have been baptized by the Holy Spirit. Les emphasizes that this Holy Spirit baptism is not an emotional phenomenon and not a physical thing. You and I never felt anything when the Holy Spirit baptized us into the Body; it is an unfeeling thing. We know it happened only because the Book says so. That is the only way we know we were placed into the Body of Christ, because the Book says we were. Therefore, we do not look for some kind of emotional thing or feeling. Les notes that the word feeling is not used in Scripture.
