<p>15:23 <i>But each in his own order</i>- &quot;Order&quot; is the word used in the LXX for a troop of soldiers or people (Num. 10:14; 18:22,25). The parade starts with the Lord Jesus, then with us, and then (:24) another undefined cohort at &quot;the end&quot;. Paul looks from the perspective of eternity upon these three cohorts.&nbsp; I have suggested on :20 who this last cohort might be, although it is intentionally left undefined.</p><p><i>Christ the firstfruits, then they that are Christ's, at his coming- </i>&quot;At his coming&quot; is proof enough that the time of glorification is not at death, which is unconsciousness, but at His return. Preterism has a big problem with this- for if His &quot;coming&quot; was at AD70 then all who are Christ's should have had their resurrection then. We become Christ's by baptism into Him (Gal. 3:29). and so Paul assumes that all the Corinthians &quot;are Christ's&quot; (1 Cor. 3:23). Even if they did not properly understand or therefore believe in the correct nature of the Christian hope, he still assumes that as baptized into Him, they would receive the promised outcome of His resurrection. This has huge implications for how we treat others who clearly have left the faith or fail to understand it, despite having earlier been baptized into Christ. We cannot condemn them ahead of the judgment seat of Christ, so we can only assume their salvation and feel towards them accordingly.</p>
