GENTILES NOT IN THE BODY OF CHRIST

[douge]

Acts 2:10 Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, Jews and proselytes,

As can be seen in Acts 2:10 there were proselytes, strangers to Israel, Gentiles, who trusted in God and followed the law. Some of the Gentiles may have been proselytes that believed the gospel preached by Peter and the disciples. They were not in the body of Christ since at this time Paul was not saved and given revelation; the body of Christ was not being formed at this time, the believers were in Christ and the Church of God.

You error. Well if all we had was the OT/Torrah.. Israel was to take His word to the world. After He saved them after 400years.. He told them.. if any wanted to join or any strangers among you.. they were to treat them as if they were born of them. John 3:16..where Did Christ tell them to go? To take His word to the world.. again.. something they were always to do.. And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature."

What I don't understand is.... you just pick some verse and toss out the rest. God even talked to Peter about gentiles. You know the ones that received the Holy Spirit? How we don't tell GOD what HE made is clean or unclean. Yet.. here you are taking His word out of context.

I must agree.  Gentiles CAN NOT make up the body of Christ because a "Gentile" DOES NOT WORSHIP GOD, has not become a Christian.  Once a gentile has "put on" Christ, AT most they are a former gentile, now a Christian. 

From the moment Christ began his ministry he began the body of Christ, the Church, the Church of God.  He came to defeat death, to be the Sacrificial Lamb, bring in the New Covenant and proclaim the kingdom of God.  

How can God make it any more clear??  Doesn't matter where you came from or who you were, His kingdom is for whomsoever will.  Yes, there are jobs for different people because as God will never give you more than you can handle, some are very weak and God can't count on them for much of anything and there are those who can handle a lot and God will use them all the way to death in the flesh.  Just as those who can't, should be comfortable knowing they wont be asked much, there are those who can and are comfortable with whatever God wants.  The funny thing, to me is those who will be asked nothing seem to be in fear and those who will be asked everything have none.  
   
Galatians 3:25 But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.

Galatians 3:26 For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.

Galatians 3:27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.

Galatians 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.

Galatians 3:29 And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.

AND IF YE BE CHRISTS, YOU NOT GENTILE ANYMORE.  You can't worship God and be a gentile as gentiles don't worship God.  

John 3:6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

 

Ephesians 2:10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

Ephesians 2:11 Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands;

Ephesians 2:12 That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:

Ephesians 2:13 But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.

Ephesians 2:14 For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us;

Ephesians 2:15 Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace;

ONE. 
No longer what one was. 
heirs. 
Abrahams seed.  
born of the Spirit
One new man
one body
one church
one people
all the same. born from above.  born of water.  born of the Spirit.  

READ THE WORD AS IF THIS WERE TRUE to help distinguish between Gods Truth and NOT.

GENTILES NOT IN THE BODY OF CHRIST

I don't agree. Since the death of Christ, His body started to be builded up, opened to everyone who believe in Jesus and His Word.
