Hi to all and how were believers in the Gospels placed into the EKKLESIA ?
#1 , We see that they were all Jews !
#2 , They all were to keep the Law of Moses !
#3 , They were all under a COVENANT /DIATHEKE , relationship , where Gentiles had no Covenant with God ! Eph 2:12
#4 , Acts 2:47 says that God ADDED to that EKKLESIA and not man !
#5 That ADDITION was through Repentance and water Baptism by the Lord !
#6 The Greek word " ADDED " is in the IMPERFECT Tense , Active Voice and reinforced by the Indicative Mood of FACT !
#7 The Imperfect Tense means it started in the PAST and then stopped by the end of Acts .
#8 The Active Voice means the subject (the Lord ) was the One who started and ended the ADDING and STOPPED the ADDING !
#9 This leaves the PENTECOSTALS with out no Sign Gifts , 1 Cor 13:8 and leaves the RCC with no scriptua Evidence and Purgatory , POPE and Mary with nothing !!
#10 So , Cornelius did not enter the Body of Christ and his HOPE was all Jewish and there are no MOPRE ADDITION to this EKKLESIA today !!
