Hi to all , and my OP is where the Body o9f Christ began and not when the church began !
Some say that the body began in Genesis !
Others say , Acts 2 with the Holy Spirit falling on those Jewish believers on the day of Pentecost , a Jewish feast Day .
Others say in Acts 9:6 , my position , yes .
Others say Acts 11 , as one pastor in FLA . , holds too !
Others hold to an Acts 13 position , because of Paul and Barnabas first missionary journey .
Than there is the Hyper-dispensational or Acts 28:28 position .
The Body of Christ began with the Apostle Paul in Rom 1:1 .
Paul a slave of Jesus Christ having been called/chosen/elected to be and apostle , SEPARATED unto the gospel of God .
#1 , The word separated is the Greek word APHORIZO , which can be translated by 3 English words .
a ) separated
b) limited
c) boundaries
#2 , This Greek word is n the Greek Perfect Tense , which means Past Action with Continuing Results .
A good explanation of the Perfect Tense is found in John 19:30 , where Jesus said " it is finished " , which means past action 2000 years ago , and will NEVER be crucified on a cross again and could only die ONCE as Hebrews point out .
#3 , This means that Paul was LIMITED to only preach the Gospel of God or the Grace o0f God and never preach what the 12 disciples preached .
#4 , This means that Paul began the Body of Christ through his salvation in Acts 9:6 .
