It will be able to move through the physical universe invisibly as does the wind.

Perhaps, but a study of the passages using harpadzo will give you greater illumination. Take Philip:

"And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on his way rejoicing.
But Philip was found at Azotus: and passing through he preached in all the cities, till he came to Caesarea" (Ac. 8:39-40 AV).

Philip started out with a temporal, physical body, and wound up with eggzakly the same --- Why don't you go and catalogue the different ways in which αρπάζω (harpadzo, Strong's Greek dictionary number 526) is used. Maybe your viewpoint will be a bit modified.

Why don’t you just come to grips with the fact that you’re amplifying an incomplete description of the event, and trying to press it as doctrine.

You simply have little understanding of the scriptures.
