How can the body of Christ have members added to them, 3000. When the body of Christ hasn't even been revealed to Paul yet? Paul's not even saved!
Also, how do you reconcile people being added to something that supposedly starts in Acts 2 at Pentecost? If Acts 2 is the beginning of the body of Christ, how can something be "added to" when it was just formed? You can't add to something that doesn't exist yet. If the BoC starts at Pentecost, how can the text say people were ADDED. You can't add to something that doesn't exits. Watch the video I posted above. You have much bigger problems to address than the one you listed. Trust me. And they are addressed in that 20 min video above.

The word "added" is used all the time. It means to add unto something that is already there. Adding is simple...I have 120 eggs - then I "add" 3,000 more and voila..I have "added" to the existing eggs.
You are viewing everything through your "Paul only glasses" and missing out on Christ Himself and what He had already done before there even was a Paul to begin with.
How could Paul be in the body of Christ if there was no body to start with? This is a bunch of foolishness combined with some good truths about the revelation of the mystery of Christ and about the riches of the glory of Him being in us.
Did the body of Christ start with one member - Paul?...of course not..it is foolishness. And it took him years to discover the revelation of this mystery of Christ after he was saved.
