Yes, there has been a long debate about this thing we do. None of us is fully grown as sons and daughters of God yet. None of us have come to the fullness of our being yet. But all that we are , may be one in the Body of Christ, through Baptism. We are one in the body of Christ just as the parable of the laborers in the vineyard tells us that those who worked from morning to night received the same pay as those who only started in the afternoon.
Baptism is the great equalizer.
Baptism says to us, that we do not choose God, and therefore become his sons and daughters. Baptism says to us, that whether we are infants or middle-aged attorneys, God chooses us, anoints us, calls us, lifts us up, as his Sons and Daughters. And this through the saving work of Jesus Christ. One of the most popular heresies in the Anglican Church is called Pelagianism. It is attributed to a British scholar-monk who taught in Rome in the early 400 s.
