No one has yet answered the fact that Paul himself spoke of other men who were in Christ before him:
"Salute Andronicus and Junia, my kinsmen, and my fellow-prisoners, who are of note among the apostles, who also were in Christ before me" (Ro.16:7).
Paul also says that if anyone be "in Christ" then he is a new creation:
"So if any one be in Christ, there is a new creation; the old things have passed away; behold all things have become new" (2 Cor.5:17; J. N. Darby Translation).
Hi and read Gal 3:28 for it also answers those who were " in Christ before Paul as Rom 16:7 says !!
#1 , First , those in Christ were not in the Body of Christ and THEIR was not yet a Body of Christ and most say REDEMPTIVELY they were in Christ !!
You would have to say that all saved Jews were then in the Body of Christ and would have to PUT all Jews are in the Body , BUT Gal 3:28 TRUMPS that , for there are no JEWS in the Body !!
