Webster defines naturalization this way.

Naturalization

NATURALIZATION, n. [See Naturalize] The act of investing an alien with the rights and privileges of a native subject or citizen. Naturalization in Great Britain is only by act of parliament. In the United States, it is by act of Congress, vesting certain tribunals with the power.

Anyone who have left the country of their birth and has gone through the naturalization process to become a United States citizen has had to take this oath.

“I hereby declare, on oath, that I absolutely and entirely renounce and abjure all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state or sovereignty, of whom or which I have heretofore been a subject or citizen;

• that I will support and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic;
• that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same;
• that I will bear arms on behalf of the United States when required by the law;
• that I will perform noncombatant service in the armed forces of the United States when required by the law;
• that I will perform work of national importance under civilian direction when required by the law;
• and that I take this obligation freely without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; so help me God.”

So here is a question. Who is your sovereign and who is your king? How many masters can we have?

Baptism was never intended to be a sacrament; it does not make you more holy. Baptism is, and always has been, a naturalization process into the kingdom of our Father and an expatriation from our old king and kingdom. The reason we are baptized in Yeshua’s name is because he is the king!

Once we repent and turn to YHVH’s ways, baptism is how we become a ger by joining ourselves to YHVH’s true people, Israel.

We go into the water (a shadow picture of us leaving our Egypt, just like our forefathers did) and proclaim in front of those who have gone before us, something like the following.

I hereby declare, on oath in the name of YHVH,

• that I absolutely and entirely renounce and abjure all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state, tribunals, or sovereignty, of whom or which I have heretofore been a subject or citizen;
• that I will fear YHVH my Elohiym (God), to walk in all His ways and to love Him, to serve YHVH my Elohiym with all my heart and with all my soul, and to keep the commandments of YHVH and His statutes;
• that I will make His king, Yeshua, my king; and that His people will be my people; and
• that I will forever bear true faith and allegiance to the same; so help me YHVH.

Baptism is the naturalization process by which we enter YHVH’s kingdom and the topic of my video entitled “Baptism – a New Beginning.”

Dare to take and oath like this one? I did, at the beginning of the year 2000. For me coming out of Egypt has been a process, but I have now made myself 100% YHVH’s and have no obligation to any other foreign prince, potentate, state, or sovereignty, of whom or which I have heretofore been a subject or citizen.

We can not lead where we will not go.

“Now therefore, fear YHVH, serve Him in sincerity and in truth, and put away the elohiym (the law makers and the judges) which your fathers served on the other side of the River and in Egypt. Serve YHVH! And if it seems evil to you to serve YHVH, choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the elohiym which your fathers served that were on the other side of the River, or the elohiym of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve YHVH.” (Jos 24:14-15)

“And now, Israel, what does YHVH your Elohiym require of you, but to fear YHVH your Elohiym, to walk in all His ways and to love Him, to serve YHVH your Elohiym with all your heart and with all your soul, and to keep the commandments of YHVH and His statutes which I command you today for your good? (Deu 10:12-13)
