Paul only in one place teaches the church as the Body of Christ, it is not Christ's body in any mystical sense but as a highly practical and functional body in relation to the gifts of the Holy Spirit.
Miracles, healing, helps and administration, prophesying and teaching, exorcism and discerning of spirits, word of knowledge/wisdom.
These are all the things which Jesus did throughout His ministry by the Holy Spirit.
Now no man has the whole Christ, we do have Christ don't get worried, but we have not the full stature, that is where we are headed but we are persuaded that we will not attain to it until He comes and we are transformed.
So when the evangelist says "Christ in YOU" and applies it to the individual that is an erroneous emphasis, when Paul spoke about "Christ in you" he meant the assembly. The assembly is the Body of Christ and we are members of His Body...to the Lone Rangers out there I appeal to you that you cannot function without your brothers and sisters.
This erroneous emphasis of the doctrine of Christ in you is what caused the "confess and possess" mistake and the "little gods" error.
Never the less the Body of Christ which Paul preached was to carry on the same supernatural ministry of Jesus in every town and every city it met...it was supposed to be as though Jesus came to town.
This is what turned the world upside down and will turn YOUR corner of the world upside down today.
