Do believers lose their individuality in the body of Christ?
No. As members of the body of Christ, believers still maintain their individuality and each has a unique place in that body, yet they are all one. Only the saved are placed into the body by the Holy Spirit; unbelievers are not members of it.
Les explains that the baptism that really counts for eternity is the one that places the true, genuine believer into the body of Christ. Having one's name on church rolls does not make a person a member; only the saved are in the body. Yet, as members, believers maintain their individuality and each has a unique place, while all are one. That oneness is why believers feel at home with each other quickly, unlike any other group.
