WHAT DOES IT MEAN " TO BE IN CHRIST " ?

[Guojing]

Although it has never happened before ….I will not dismiss the possibility of me being wrong.

~And that is a joke~ …………of coarse I could be wrong ….but not God or His Word.

If you check the context and wording of Jhn 15:1-11 ….it is all conditional on abiding in Him …. or not abiding in Him.
In the Epistles (after Pentecost) it is only conditional based on our acceptance of Christ which God accepted on our behalf….and it’s permanent.

I certainly agree with you that it was conditional on enduring to the end, compared to now.

The point I was making is that people were in Christ, before Paul.

Hence being in Christ was not "only used in regards to the period of the administration (dispensation) of grace"

Where and when was Paul or those related to Paul BORN AGAIN , and supply a verse , please ?

Unless you mean it is Israel ?

#4 In HIM --20 TIMES

#5 IN THE LORD JESUS --6 TIMES

#6 IN WHOM --6 TIMES

#7 IN JESUS --1 TIME

#8 IN HIMSELF --2 TIMES

#9 IN THE BELOVED --1 TIME

Many of these subjects are DOCTRINAL , with 62 sub-categories


Then there are 49 PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS '

ABOUND MORE , 1 Thess 4:1

APPROVED --Rom 16:10

BE STRONG --Eph 6:10 , Phil 4:13 , 2 Tim 2:1


I believe this a very important subject to BE IN CHRIST !!

Because , I believe that it was ONLY Paul that uses those words , " in Christ ".

And because Paul is the ONLY that explains what DISPENSATIONISM really means .

I'll take your word for it that there is a logical sequence there. I don't see it, but, ok.
