There were no gentile children of God before the conversion of Cornelius and his household. This is when God by his grace made the sacrifice of Jesus Christ efficacious to the world and sent his Jewish preachers out with the gospel of God, which is the theme of the 13 letters of the apostle Paul to the gentiles and is summarized in this statement here.
Rom 15:24 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
25 Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began,
26 But now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all nations for the obedience of faith:
27 To God only wise, be glory through Jesus Christ for ever.
Paul's "my gospel" is the gospel of God.
Rom 1:1 Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God,
How do you think a sinner becomes a son of God? It is not just a title, you know.
So, you said earlier Jesus fulfilled the law. Now you say He did not fulfill the law. You are saying Jesus failed in His stated purpose to fulfill the law and the prophets.
We will disagree.
You continue to ignore the Ephesians passage. I understand it destroys dispensational theory of a separate future for Israel. Instead of changing your belief to conform to scripture, you ignore scripture and cling to your unbiblical beliefs.
You then have the
arrogance to suggest I need to closely examine my own salvation because I’m not “prone to perceive” your beliefs as truth.
You have failed in your stated attempt to defend dispensation theology. You have failed to address and answer clear questions concerning scripture and how it undermines your beliefs but instead question the salvation of those that disagree.
Therefore, I believe all has been said at this point.
Saved Jews and Gentiles of the church age are one body, yes.
Saved Jews and Gentiles from other ages are not.
The one-body doctrine is only true for Jewish and Gentile believers of the church age.
Eph 2:6
And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:
Eph 2:7
That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.
Nor can this be restricted to simply "eternity" for Paul says concerning the legal ordinances of Moses' law that they are yet to return: Col 2:16
Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:
Col 2:17
Which ARE a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.
Israel: Exo_19:6
And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel.
The Church: 1Pe 2:9
But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:
It was the Romans that crucified Christ. neither the Jews nor the Romans Killed Christ. Christ laid down His life as a sacrifice Jesus even said no man takes His life. That He laid it down and that He would take it up again. Sure the Jews wanted Him crucified but they didn't do it the Romans did that.

Utter nonsense. Many prophecies foretold the Jews rejecting their Messiah and killing Him.
For you to make that statement proves two things.
1: You are stunningly ignorant of prophecy concerning Jesus.
2: You read your unbiblical theology into ever passage, instead of letting the passage speak in context.
The only way dispensational theology can make sense is if you ignore all passages that disprove it, read it into ever other passage, then question the salvation of any who disagrees.
