How to be adopted by Christ

This is very simple.
- Gentiles are not adopted until they are spiritually born of God/Christ.
- When they are spiritually born of Christ, they take upon themselves his name.
- Until they are spiritually born they remain Gentiles.
- Being spiritually born goes by many names. These include, but aren't limited to, the mighty change of heart, baptism of fire, singing the song of redeeming love, receiving the Holy Ghost, entering the gate, becoming quickened in the inner man, and being born again.
- Examples of this spiritual event are found in Acts 2, Acts 11:15-17, Mosiah 4 and 5, Mosiah 27, Helaman 5, Alma 19, 3 Nephi 19, Moses 6:64-68 and many other places.
- Those who remain Gentiles are under the curses, wo's, and warnings found in scripture
- Many who think they are born spiritually, or adopted by God, in fact, aren't. As long as they resist this Gift of God, they are fighting against those who have, in fact, been born of God.

Good looking out , bro! I wish i would let it be that clean cut!

I'm more like the guy who wrote this song. It's hard not to dip my feet in my flesh.

Oh, to grace how great a debtor
Daily I'm constrained to be
Let that goodness like a fetter
Bind my wandering heart to Thee
Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it
Prone to leave the God I love
Here's my heart, oh, take and seal it
Seal it for Thy courts above
