Galatians 1:13 For ye have heard of my conversation in time past in the Jews' religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God, and wasted it:

The members of the church of God were Jews and Gentiles who believed the preaching of Jesus, Peter and the disciples. These Jews and Gentiles are kingdom saints who believed the gospel of the kingdom (Matthew 4:23), the prophetic kingdom on earth, in which, they would reign with Christ; they believed on the name of Jesus, that he is the Son of God, the Christ (John 3:18 John 20:31).

The body of Christ is the church formed in this dispensation of grace, composed of Jew and Gentile who believe Paul's gospel of the grace of God (Acts 20:24 1 Corinthians 15:3-4). The body of Christ was not revealed or formed before Paul's conversion (Ephesians 3:2-9 1 Timothy 1:16).

The church of God consists of all who are purchased by the blood of Jesus, both the kingdom saints and the body of Christ.

These Jews and Gentiles, the kingdom saints, were members of the church of God, not the body of Christ.

the church catholic is all with the divine gift of faith - spread out over heaven and earth; it is the whole family of God, all the children of God.
