God has a purpose for both groups. Not all are "incorporated" into the body of Christ.

Peter is proof that it's to the Jews in the scattered nations. He is doing what Jesus commanded. 1 Peter 2:12 Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day...

They weren't saved by grace through faith as members of the body of Christ are, but it's no mystery how they were saved. They had to keep the commandments, and endure to the end. Acts 2:38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the...

Please give me the scripture before I respond. I don't believe the Apostles went anywhere preaching their Gospel outside of what they had already been told about not going to the gentiles. Did He tell them He would raise His own body (temple) in three days? Yes, but they didn't know what He...

What incorporation are you talking about?

Nope, the work of the Apostles was basically done. They continued to obey what Jesus told them. Matthew 10:5 These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not: The church has nothing to do with...

Now for the Mystery Paul calls his own gospel a mystery. The church of God being the body of Christ is a mystery. Ephesians 6:19 And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel, The rapture, itself, is a mystery. 1...

No, the gentiles being called was not a mystery. That's prophecy...."light to the gentiles". One of the mysteries revealed by Paul was "Christ in you" speaking of the body of Christ and the indwelling Spirit. Not just a temporary gift of the Spirit that came upon people, which happened...

I'll answer. God needed Paul to communicate the mystery program. That which had been kept hidden since the beginning.

No, they were referring to the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth. God coming to the earth to rule. In fact, only Matthew spoke of the Kingdom of Heaven and he is the one who focused on Jesus being the KING of the Kingdom.

That's the reward. What did He preach about salvation?

The question isn't about who heard, but to whom they were sent.

Deut. 29:29 The secret things belong unto the Lord our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law. What are these secret things? They are mysteries. Things that have been hidden from the foundation of the...

Raffenburger is on the ropes and this is his propaganda.

Or more likely, satan has been caused Beloved57 to believe a lie.

Resurrection is referring to the body being raised, not entering into life. There is life without the body. Was Jesus without life while His body lay in the tomb for three days?

Oh please. Let's just see about that. Here's one.... Did Paul ENACT this mystery or preach it? Colossians 1:27 To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:

True for some, but not for the body of Christ. Eph. 2:5-6 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:

They preached what had already been prophesied. They did not preach the mystery that Paul did.

Not quite the "End of story". Acts 13:39 And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.
