What happens to a Jew's identity when he comes into the Body of Christ?

When a Jew comes into the Body of Christ, he loses his identity; the Jew is no longer distinct from Gentiles. All believers—Jew or Gentile—are one in Christ. If the Lord comes, every believer in the Body of Christ, regardless of ethnicity, goes in the Rapture together.

Les teaches that this is part of the mystery revealed to the Apostle Paul in this particular letter, especially as it unfolds in Ephesians: the Jew loses his identity when he comes into the Body of Christ. He illustrates this with a Jewish believer who asked whether, because she was a Jew, she would be left behind at the Rapture while Gentiles went in. Les assured her no—if she is a believer and in the Body of Christ, all go together. That truth comforted her, showing that being Jewish does not make her any different in the Body of Christ. Les extends the principle beyond Jew and Gentile to bond or free, and even to black or white, red or yellow, concluding that all are one when they come into the Body of Christ.
