Here is a two part series on the book of Acts proving that the body of Christ does not and cannot start before Paul is saved. The video consists of two 30 minute videos. Enjoy!

Notable scriptures: Luke 13.8-9 KJB -- proof of a one year extension given to Israel to repent after they crucified Christ. They did not repent as a nation and were cut off. This corresponds to the time period from Acts 1 to Acts 7. Exactly one year. The stoning of Stephan was the final moments of them existing as a nation. Notice in Acts 7.55-58 Christ was sitting down on his thrown but then STANDS as Stephen looks up at heaven. That's significant because the bible says when Christ stands judgement is coming to the world. I.e Daniels 70th week. But we know that didn't happen. Why? Because God had something HIDDEN in him called a mystery; secret revelation not ever known. And God saves Paul, who blasphemed the holy ghost mind you (Israels gospel says you cannot be saved if you blaspheme the holy Ghost. So how does God save Paul???), and brings in a a new dispensation called the grace of God. And had this mystery been known before (even the angles didn't know) Christ would not have been crucified. 1 Cor 2.6-8
But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looked up stedfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God, And said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God.
Also, consider this in Romans 11.11. Where Paul says I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy.
Now this verse may throw your mind into a whirl-spin because it's confusing. But take another look. What's being talked about here when it says "have they stumbled that they should fall?" Then proceeds to say that they did fall! HAHA~ It's talking about the crucifixion of Christ. That was them stumbling, but they did NOT fall at that time.
1 Peter 2.8-9
Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner, And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed.
This is why it says in the very next breath in Romans 11.11 God can say, ""BUT RATHER THROUGH their fall." When was that? 'Through their fall' is that ONE YEAR extension of mercy! Luke 13.8-9
To sum it up easily. Did they fall at the crucifixion. Nay. But after the one year extension of mercy they DO FALL. Hence, Romans 11.25 "For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in."
Rom 11.28-30
As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers’ sakes. For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance. For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief:
**(side note: It still baffles me that there are some denominations that think they have replaced Israel even when the bible says those that call themselves Israel are ENEMIES lol.)**
Clearly Paul is preaching salvation now has come to the gentiles APART from Israel. Before Paul, gentiles could only be saved THROUGH Israel. Just one more proof that Paul's gospel is NOT Peter's gospel. This is the begging of understanding how to rightly divide the word of truth 2 Tim 2.15.
Also, if you don't only use a KJB you will never be able to see these truths because the other versions attack the mystery of Christ because it's the mystery that defeated Satan. 1 Cor 2.6-8 All Translations, except the KJB, use corrupted Alexandrian, Egypt manuscripts. Only the KJB uses the Antioch, majority, line of manuscripts.
Paul warns not to be "For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, ..."
