pam Posted November 6, 2010 Report Share Posted November 6, 2010 Reference Search: Jacob 5:1717 And it came to pass that the Lord of the vineyard looked and beheld the tree in the which the wild olive branches had been grafted; and it had sprung forth and begun to bear fruit. And he beheld that it was good; and the fruit thereof was like unto the natural fruit. Quote for Discussion“Fruit like unto the natural fruit”After true conversion; after baptism of water and of the Spirit; after dross and iniquity have been burned out of the human soul as though by fire; and thus after one is adopted into the house of Israel—when these things have happened there is no distinction between Israelite and Gentile, no separation of spiritual states, no difference in ultimate rewards. “For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ,” Paul wrote. “There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female; for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.” (Galatians 3:27-29.)Millet and McConkie, Doctrinal Commentary on BOM, Vol. 2, p. 55 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
