He's correct. The Church Age still hasn't passed. That is still future. If it had, then the Tribulation has passed, as is His Second coming, as too the Millennium, and if you are a believer you are already in your second body and with Him in Heaven.
Then again, since it is still future,...you really are still here and He hasn't returned for His Millennial reign.
The so-called "Church Age" doesn't exist. It a new-age term, made up out of thin air by the founders of dispensationalism in the mid to late 1800's, or early 1900's.
The real "Church" is eternal. So, if you want to imagine a so-called "Church Age," simply imagine one that will last forever, on earth as it is in heaven.
This is the real church that has existed since, at least, before the book of Hebrews was written:
"But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect, And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant…." (Heb 12:22-24 KJV)
That passage clearly is in "present tense."
We, on earth, are a part of that Church, if we believe (100%) in the words of Christ.
The Church was not an afterthought! Don't believe anyone who claims or implies it was. Christ loved the Church and gave his life for it:
"Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it…" (Eph 5:25 KJV)
Most, if not all, of his disciples and apostles also gave their lives for Church.
