On another thread, STP said that those belonging to the church at Rome were not in the Body of Christ when they received Paul's epistle:
Are the words here in "bold" are not speaking of the Body of Christ but some other body?
The teaching of STP appears to be closer to the teaching of the Acts 28 community than to MAD. I wonder when he says that the members of the church at Rome became members of the Body of Christ?
The Roman letter is full of Body of Christ doctrine, the fact that they were not yet in the Body should be an eye opener and shed light on Paul's course, rather than a topic of contention.
Are the words here in "bold" are not speaking of the Body of Christ but some other body?
"For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office: So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another" (Ro.12:5).
