Here is a link where pastor Ross addresses 1 Corinthians 1:2:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LEZcN-9X_qM
Let us look at the verse:
"Unto the church of God which is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all that in every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours" (1 Cor.1:2).
At about twelve minutes into the tape Pastor Ross says that in a secondary sense the epistle is addressed to "all that in every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord."
We know that must include all of the saved, including both Jews and Gentiles in EVERY PLACE.
Despite this, Pastor Ross says that this means that the epistle was written to all the members of the Body of Christ. Of course, according to his teaching, the Twelve were not in the Body of Christ so his listeners would understand that the Twelve were not included.
Paul actually addressed his epistle to
"all that in every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord."
That includes every believer in every place who calls on the name of the Lord. And this is what Paul tells them all:
"For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit" (1 Cor.12:13).
It is unfortunate that Pastor Ross did not actually address these exact words of Paul here:
"with all that in every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord."
With these words in view, I wonder how Pastor Ross would answer this question posed by Cornelius Stam:
"There are other evidences that the kingdom saints of Paul's day became members of the Body of Christ. In I Corinthians 1:2, Paul addresses his letter to the Corinthian church, 'with all that in every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs [those in every place] and ours [those with Paul].' And he says to 'all' these believers 'in every place': 'For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one Body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles' (I Cor. 12:13). How can this be made to exclude the Judean believers?" (Cornelius Stam, Commentary on Galatians [Stevens Point, WI: Worzalla Publishing Co., 1998], 198).
Like those in the Neo-MAD camp he cannot deal with the Scriptures AS THEY ARE WRITTEN!
He even went so far as saying that Sir Robert Anderson was not a Mid-Acts teacher but instead his teaching laid the foundation for Bullinger's Acts 28 teaching.
I doubt if Pastor Ross has ever read Sir Robert Anderson's books. If he had read
The Silence of God he would have read Sir Robert speak about this dispensation beginning at the Mid-Acts period.
Don't get me wrong. Pastor Ross teaches a lot of truth about the grace of God and he could be a great teacher if he would just shuck the false teaching within the Neo-MAD camp.
He needs to read Anderson and O'Hair.
