Which would be Peter and his followers, wouldn't it? Which would include Cornelius and those like him, wouldn't it? Cornelius would be among those who are grafted on.

So do you think Peter was a member of the body of Christ.....from everything he wrote in Scripture? Or do you see where God has another place for Peter?

Tam was specifically talking about losing salvation.

It is still of works, and they're still considered Israel....not the body of Christ. Acts 10:34-36 Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons: But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him. The word...

But the YOU which you have in blue is NOT talking about the body of Christ, correct? I say this because the body of Christ is not grafted onto to anything.

So you're not saying the remnant is the body of Christ, correct? The remnant would be these folks. Acts 10:34-36 34 Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons: 35 But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is...

I don't think the YOU is speaking to the body of Christ, but to those who believed Christ was the Messiah.

Wow, that lays it out so clearly. Thank you for sharing, RD.

No nevermind. It's still a mystery to you. Perhaps one day you'll realize why Peter didn't preach the same thing Paul did.

No. Future?

Yippee for you. That's in the future....which is fine since you're still under the law and must endure to the end. Mine are forgiven already. I don't have to wait until the Lord returns.

Would you like me to post scripture to show you what I'm saying? Maybe I should use a bigger print.

Good grief. Go to a concordance or another translation..... "you" is not "him". 2 Peter 1:17 For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. 18 And this voice which came...

From Peter. Acts 3. Those saved through Paul's gospel have their sins forgiven the moment they believe. It's all right there in the Bible. You just have to know where to look.

I know what Paul said, but he isn't talking about the body of Christ.

I know it's hard for you to understand, but God can do whatever He wants to do. Not only that, but God is more than able to treat one group of people different than He does others. Some are required to do works and others are forbidden. Some must wait to have their sins forgiven and...

I hope you're not suggesting that "HIM" isn't speaking of the Son of man. You're still wrong on the "grafting" issue. Maybe you should study up on that.

No, it isn't. Were they new creatures? Seriously, the comparison you just made there is childish.

That has nothing to do with Paul's Gospel of Grace. Cool. You can just grace your neighbor and all will be good. :cautious: Egads. Hope all you want.

That's because too many people don't know what it means to be a new creation IN CHRIST JESUS.
