By the time the mystery of the church was completely revealed, Paul was responsible for the ministry of the Gentiles...No law...No sacrifices...Salvation by GRACE...Baptism of the Holy Spirit, as opposed to water...Adoption of Gentiles into the Body of Christ...No more signs, miracles and wonders... That's bogus "church history". Paul would not have recognized the church you describe, especially the "no law and no sacrifices" part. Paul was performing "signs, miracles, and wonders" until very late in his ministry; it says so flatly in Acts.

Paul was a physical wreck...He had to take a little wine for medicinal purposes...He couldn't heal himself, let alone anyone else...But do you know why???? It's in the bible...
