Galatians 3
24 Let me put it another way. The law was our guardian until Christ came; it protected us until we could be made right with God through faith. 25 And now that the way of faith has come, we no longer need the law as our guardian.
26 For you are all children of God through faith in Christ Jesus. 27 And all who have been united with Christ in baptism have put on Christ, like putting on new clothes. 28 There is no longer Jew or Gentile, slave or free, male and female. For you are all one in Christ Jesus. 29 And now that you belong to Christ, you are the true children of Abraham. You are his heirs, and God’s promise to Abraham belongs to you.
Let me put it another way: you are united with Christ in immersion (the biblical form of what is transliterated “baptism”), putting on Christ like putting on new clothes. You are NOT united with Christ by saying a man made prayer. You are NOT united with Christ by having water sprinkled on you, pour on you, or thrown at you. You belong to Christ WHEN you are united with Him in immersion. THEN, you are the true children of Abraham, heirs with the promise of God belonging to you. Why do so many well-intentioned people want to teach otherwise?
