Hi Jimmy,
I have no experience of discussing these matters with any other than those who, like myself, believe that Israel were set aside at the end of the Acts period. We will obviously be seeing things differently.
I believe that the prison epistles, Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, 1 and 2 Timothy, Titus and Philemon, are those which contain the knowledge of the dispensation of the Mystery and of the Body of Christ as it was after the nation of Israel with it's privileged position was set aside, so that believers from Israel and the Gentile nations have an equality, not possible before that event. Now the 2 comprise 'one Body' in Christ Jesus.
Evidential miracles continued right up until the end of the Acts, which were designed to bring Israel to repentance.
Thank you Jimmy, I am sorry that I cannot respond to you adequately, because I do not understand where you are coming from - having no knowledge of how your belief concerning the point where the Body of Christ began affects everything else (if you can understand what I mean by that).
With love in Christ Jesus our risen and glorified,
Saviour, Lord and Head.
Chris
