1.         T          F          The main problem with the doctrine of adoption is that men have taken the legal meaning and have taught what was assumed what it means rather than what the scriptures have declared it to be.

2.         There are listed five insurmountable difficulties with the common interpretation of Adoption:

A.        First, every true child of God became one by the __________ __________.

B.        Second, one becomes a child of God when he __________ in the __________.

C.        Third, adoption relates to __________ of God, not to __________ of God, and looks forward to the time when all believers shall reach full spiritual maturity.

D.        Fourth, adoption relates to the __________ of the __________ (Rom. 8:23), not to the __________ of the __________.

E.        Fifth, adoption is shown to be a __________ of __________ and does not even take place at the same time.

3.         T          F          Not a single text says nor implies that believers are adopted into the fam­ily of God.

4.         T          F          Many people mis­take having received the “Spirit of adoption,” for the adoption itself.

5.         T          F          No believer enter into the full enjoyment and exercise of his position as a mature “son of God” until after the judgment seat of Christ, for this is necessary for the determination of the extent of his inheritance in the coming age.

6.         T          F          Adoption is the redemption of the body and soul, and is yet future for all believers.

7.         T          F          Of the three points expounded by Dr. Carroll, the third point is considered incorrect.

8.         The two applications of the word Adoptions are:

A.        __________ was placed by God as His son, and so __________ by all the surrounding nations.

B.        As an __________ __________, of the __________ of the __________, which shall be __________ before all the world to be God’s son at the __________ and __________ of the saints.

9.         T          F          God is presently testing us as to how faithful we are willing to be with the things He has committed to us.

10.       T          F          God tests us by big things, for this is the best test.

11.       T          F          Since we are conscious of indwelling, it is clear that the body was not redeemed when the soul was.

12.       The three stages of the salvation of God’s elect are:

            A.        The __________ of the __________.

B.        The __________ of our __________ from the __________ of __________.

C.        The __________ of the __________ from the __________ of __________.

13.       T          F          Romans 8:23 tells us one of the results of the adoption is the receiving of the glorified body corresponding to our redeemed soul.

14.       T          F          God has prepared immortal bodies for each of His saints, and these cannot be received while we are at home in our old cor­rupt bodes.

15.       T          F          Another of the consequences of the adoption is we shall ever be with the Lord.

16.       T          F          When the adoption comes to pass, we shall, as part of our inheritance, enter in to the administration of the millennial earth.

17.       T          F          The adoption deals with the inheritance of the sons of God rather than with their salvation, and this is why it is always futuristic in its outlook.

18.       T          F          Our faithfulness will determine our positions during the thousand years reign of Christ on the earth.

19.       T          F          We have not yet received the adoption, but we have received the Spirit of adoption, the pledge payment, of our inherit­ance.

20.       T          F          The extent of our inheritance will be determined by our faithfulness to God.
