Articles of Faith, p.404; “This system of holy matrimony, involving covenants as to time and eternity, is known distinctively as Celestial Marriage—the order of marriage that exists in the celestial worlds…. Children who are born of parents thus married are natural heirs to the Priesthood; “children of the covenant” they are called; they require no rite of adoption or sealing to insure them place in the posterity of promise.” – James Talmage
Galatians 3:27-29; “For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 28 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. 29 And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.”
Being born into a certain family only ensures familial traits and has no bearing on your status in heaven.
Furthermore, we’re no longer living under the Law! If works and belief in Christ are both necessary then Christ has died in vain – Galatians 2:16-21!
