Now you are Proving how you did not even READ the FIRST VERSE. Time for you to leave.
Ephesians 1:5 (KJV)
5 Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,
Your False Doctrine is TOTALLY BUSTED.
Goodbye.

Read on to Galatians 2
Then fourteen years after I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, and took Titus with me also.
2 And I went up by revelation, and communicated unto them that gospel which I preach among the Gentiles, but privately to them which were of reputation, lest by any means I should run, or had run, in vain.
6 But of these who seemed to be somewhat, (whatsoever they were, it maketh no matter to me: God accepteth no man's person for they who seemed to be somewhat in conference added nothing to me:
If it was the same gospel, why would Paul need to communicate with James Peter and John about that gospel he was preaching among the Gentiles? They added nothing to his gospel, but they had a lot ot learn from him.

Paul is talking to those who are already in Christ telling them of their future adoption. Scripture defines the adoption as the redemption of the body. That’s the destination of those in Christ.
Romans 8:23 And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.

This is with regards to the physical body, not the spiritual adoption as sons.
You are confusing things
To redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons. And because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, “Abba! Father!” So you are no longer a slave, but a son, and if a son, then an heir through God.
Galatians 4:5-7

The OT Jews were not looking forward to salvation in heaven. If you were to enter a time machine and go to them during that time to tell them about a heavenly destination, they would have been confused.
They are looking to be ushered into the kingdom on earth that was promised to them from prophecies. The covenant that God made with Israel was largely a physical one, with land, with health and with wealth.
For us in the Body of Christ, our promises are mostly heavenly.

It was the same gospel, he conferred with them because:
(Gal 1:22 And was unknown by face unto the churches of Judaea which were in Christ)
(Gal 1:23 But they had heard only, That he which persecuted us in times past now preacheth the faith which once he destroyed.)
Cherry picking verses without the context again. You are either deceitful or unskilled in the word, probably both.
