Hi to all , and there will always be confusion as to when the Body of Christ began !!
First it began with one man , called SAUL , in Acts 9:1-6 , and that , man was given the Revelation of the Mystery in Rom 16:25 .
We see from 1 Cor 12:27 and Rom 12:5 that the Body of Christ is mention , before PAUL wrote Ephesians !!
In Acts 9:6 , SAUL says , " LORD what wilth thou have me do " .
In 1 Cor 12:3 , " and no man can say that Jesus is LORD , but by the Holy Spirit ".
There are 5 verb tenses in 1 Cor 12:3 !!
#1 , UNDERSTAND / GNORIZO which is in the Present Tense !!
#2 , SPEAKING / LALEO , also in the Present Tense !!
#3 , CALLETH / LEGO , in the Present Tense !!
#4 , CAN /DYNAMAI , in the Present Tense !!
#5 , SAY / EIPON , in the Aorist tense !!
The Present Tense , means that it is a CONTINUOUS PRESENT and it represents Continuous action in the PRESENT TIME !!
This , then means that when SAUL said Lord , Saul had the Holy Spirit !!
SAUL was the PROTOS/FIRST one in the Body pf Christ to be INDWELLTH with the Holy Spirit !!
Eph 1:13 , says that " after ye believed , ye were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise ".
This then means that SAUL was the PROTOS /FIRST in the Body of Christ and the Body of Christ BEGAN in Acts 9:6 !!
