You failed to see my argument. I would never say or assume that Andronicus and Junia got in Christ the same way you and I get in Christ. My argument is that there were different administrations of getting in the body of Christ. The Apostle Paul settled the Church Age by stating the mystery which had been hid but is now revealed. The way revealed to Paul was unlike any other way. Not until we get to Paul to we have sound footing. Just because they did not get in Christ the exact way does not mean they are not part of the same body. That you have not proven.
Oh I see what you are saying and missing. I guess I misunderstood what you were asking. So to address your question: You are equating the body of Christ as being part of the Earthly kingdom? As in you believe the Body will be here to rule and reign with Christ during the 1000 year reign on Earth? This is a misconception. We, the body of Christ, are destined for Heaven - not Earth. Christ has a kingdom both on Earth and in Heaven. A physical and a spiritual. Because by saying everyone in Acts is part of the Body - also puts the body of Christ in Revelation as well as the Kingdom on Earth. The video below is an amazing video on this issue. I hope you actually watch it! Stay with me now. This will be a long topic.
Col 1.15-20 shows this really well
Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: For by him were
all things created,
that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible
(see physical and spiritual),
whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: And he is before all things, and by him all things consist. And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence. For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell; And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say,
whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.
Take note that in the above verses God says there are Thrones, Dominions, Principalities, and Powers -
BOTH in Heaven and on Earth. We, the body of Christ, our purpose is to take back those positions in Heaven from Satan. As for the Earth, Israel, will reclaim it by holding those same positions ON Earth!
Eph 1.10
Having
made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself: That
in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ,
both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him:
Before Paul ever came on the scene, Jews were always looking for a physical kingdom on Earth. Not until you see Paul get saved and he starts preaching do you see saints looking to go to heaven with Christ. You will never see people in the OT or Heb-Rev looking to go to heaven and reign there with Christ. They were waiting for their Messiah and for him to bring forth his Kingdom and bring salvation to the gentile nations. This program with Israel was interrupted when Paul was saved (hence the Body of Christ starts in Acts 9). And God brought in a NEW dispensation. Called the MYSTERY - Where there is neither Jew nor Gentile, but a new creature that is DESTINED for Heaven. Our kingdom in Heaven, which is spiritual. We get a spiritual body too!
We will rule and reign with Christ in Heaven, not Earth. Only until the fullness of times will God bring
both Heaven and Earth together. That is he brings together both Israel and Earth with the body of Christ and Heaven. There is not much in the bible about what happens after all of that. We just have to wait and see. Which is something to look forward to.
Kingdom of Heaven and Kingdom of God
Gospel of the Kingdom vs. Gospel of the Grace of God
