I'm not real familiar with dispensational theology. Can you provide some biblical support which addresses the completeness of the body of Christ? Preferrably some which relates this concept to it being a trigger for terminating the current age.

As I said, the church is the body of Christ (Eph.1:23)

This was a mystery revealed only to Paul, that a new body was being formed, that was neither Jew nor Gentile (Eph.3:5-6)

This new body being formed in this dispensation is going to be the Bride of Christ (Eph.5)

Once this body is complete (the final New Testament saint saved) there is no more reason for the church age to continue.

Thus, from that one can deduce the Rapture of those church age believers will occur.

That is why the time of the Rapture is a mystery, no one knows when that final individual which will complete that body will be saved.

the church is the body of Christ (Eph.1:23) There was no question as to what the body of Christ is. that a new body was being formed, that was neither Jew nor Gentile (Eph.3:5-6) How can you say this, when Eph 3:6 SPECIFICALLY mentions Gentiles? Paul's point was that salvation was NOT limited to the Jews... that simple. Here, Gentiles was being used in the generic sense to mean 'Non-Jew'. Once this body is complete (the final New Testament saint saved)... No biblical reference given for the very point I was referring to. Does the bible refer to the completeness of the body or not?
