Rom 16:7 Salute Andronicus and Junia, my kinsmen, and my fellowprisoners, who are of note among the apostles, who also were in Christ before me.
(Gal 1:22) And was unknown by face unto the churches of Judaea which were in Christ:
Hi Dan.p,
I believe that it was at the end of the Acts period that Israel was set aside finally (though temporarily) in unbelief, and that it was after this occurred that Paul received the revelation of the mystery concerning the Church which is His Body the fulness of Him that filleth all in all.
As to your question, 'How do you answer?' regarding the two verses above and their reference to those who were 'in Christ', well Dan, I don't think I have anything to say.
Why should these verses, and this particular remark be a problem to such as myself? Or to anyone else for that matter. For although there are different callings they are all 'in Christ.'
In Christ
