Bible Question: What are the 3 levels of Christianity in the Book of Ephesians?

Bible Answer: I don't think I've ever heard such a question as far as "levels" in Christianity. However if we were to look at it as "stages of growth" I would say that I see 4 distinct stages.
1. 1Pt.2:2 - Newborn babe
2. 1Jn.2:12 - Children
3. 1Jn.2:13 - Young Men or Women
4. 1Jn.2:13 - Fathers or Mothers

In Ephesians, Paul is letting us know that there is a vocation (a calling) that the people of God are to adhere to. As to what I see, the 4th chapter would summarize rather well the stages and the calling.
Eph. 4:1-2
...walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called,

4:2 With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love.

These things cannot be done with our own understanding and strength, they MUST BE LEARNED. That is why Jesus came to give us that GIFT in verse 7 (singular - meaning the baptism of the Holy Spirit i.e the promise Acts 2:33)
Then in verse 8 ...When he ascended up on high, he led captivity (we were at one point held prisoners bound to this world as in Gal. 4:3 ... were in bondage under the elements of the world, which brought death) captive (1Cor.7:22-23), and gave gifts (PLURAL)unto men.
These gifts are respected offices also in the plural given unto us - verse 11.
These offices exist for THE PERFECTING/EQUIPPING of the saints... until we arrive at the full stature or completeness of Christ (i.e. Father/Mother stage).

In other words, it is a process. A process that we all must reach... Hope that helps.
