Both soul winning and witnessing are borrowed from programs that do not belong to the Body of Christ. This article examines Paul's actual commission and vocabulary for declaring the gospel of grace, and why neither term captures what he was actually doing.

Paul's gospel was a mystery kept secret since the world began, given by direct revelation of the risen Christ at Acts 9. This article shows why it could not have been preached before Paul, and why his very forgiveness as a blasphemer proves an entirely new dispensation had begun.

The unction of 1 John 2:20 is the specific New Covenant provision given to believing Israel — rooted in Jeremiah, Ezekiel, and Joel, and promised by Christ to His Jewish disciples in the upper room. It is not a general Christian experience, and Paul never uses it to describe the Body of Christ.

Colossians 1:23 is routinely read as a threat to the believer's security in Christ. This article shows how Paul uses conditional language throughout his prison epistles, what grounded and settled actually describes, and why the if of verse 23 is an invitation to rest in the hope of the gospel, not a condition on the reconciliation.

The New Covenant was made with the house of Israel and the house of Judah — stated four times in Scripture. This article shows why the Body of Christ is not under it, how its terms differ from Paul's revelation, and why the mystery program is entirely separate from any covenant.

The Body of Christ did not begin at Pentecost. This article examines why Pentecost fulfilled Joel's prophecy rather than birthing the mystery, how Spirit baptism differs from the baptism of the Holy Ghost, and why the dispensation of grace began when the risen Christ appeared to Paul on the Damascus road.

Not everything Paul did during the Acts period is what the Body of Christ practices today. This article identifies the transitional elements — synagogue visitation, sign gifts, water baptism, Jewish observances, the Jerusalem collection — that belonged to the overlap period and have since ceased.

James, Peter, John, Jude, Hebrews, and Revelation were written to believing Israel under the prophetic program, not to the Body of Christ. This article identifies who wrote them, who they were addressed to, and why their doctrines differ sharply from Paul's letters.
