Does race, wealth, or geography affect membership in the Body of Christ?
No. The Body of Christ is a compilation of saved people, and distinctions such as black or white, rich or poor, east or west make no difference. Every believer becomes a member of this Body, which is a revealed mystery and not based on racial, economic, or geographic status.
Les teaches that race, wealth, and geography make no difference in the Body of Christ. He describes it as a compilation of saved people, saying black or white, rich or poor, east or west makes no difference, because every believer becomes a member. This happens by the Holy Spirit baptizing believers into the Body of Christ, a term found only in Paul’s writings. Les also explains that this was hidden in God from the beginning of the age and is now revealed as a mystery, a sudden outcalling never mooted before.
