Question
Do you teach that the 12 apostles made it into the Body of Christ?
Response
No. My understanding is that the calling, identity, and hope of the remnant of Israel, (including Peter, John, and the rest of their apostles), did not change when God suspended His program with Israel and brought in this present dispensation of His grace. They are identified as “the Israel of God,” and they retained that identity when God began forming His “new creature,” the church the Body of Christ.
