How do we get "into Christ?"

IN THE GALATIAN LETTER PAUL SAYS WE ARE
BAPTIZED "INTO CHRIST".

In Gal. Paul states:

Galatians 3:26-28; Gal. 4:6-7

26 You are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus, 27 for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. 28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. 4:6 Because you are sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, the Spirit who calls out, "Abba, Father." 7 So you are no longer a slave, but a son; and since you are a son, God has made you also an heir.

NOTE: We are sons of God through faith because we were baptized into Christ. When we were baptized INTO Christ we were clothed with Christ. Because baptism makes us sons, God sends the Spirit into our hearts. Therefore baptism makes us sons, baptism clothes us with Christ. Without baptism we are NOT sons and we are UNCLOTHED! Also, because baptism makes us sons, and sons receive the Holy Spirit--YOU DO NOT RECIEVE THE HOLY SPIRIT UNTIL YOU ARE BAPTIZED. See Acts 2:38.

The POWER of the Holy Spirit (the ability to speak in tongues, the ability

to perform certain miracles) is not the same as receiving the Holy Spirit into our hearts, after baptism. See hyperlink "The Power of the Holy Spirit in the OT and the NT".
