"it is plain, that before his sin, he [Adam] had not, could not have a body of such flesh and blood as we now have, but that he stood, as to the state, nature, and condition of his outward body, at as great a distance and difference from the animals of this world, as heaven does from earth, and was created with flesh and blood as much exalted above, and superior to the nature and power of all the elements, as the beasts of this world are under them." - William Law (in the spirit of Jacob Boehme).

Incidentally, the Kabbalah tradition in Orthodox Judaism holds a similar notion, that the skins God made for Adam and Eve were the ones that enflesh us today, a poor substitute for the robes of light we originally wore.

We don’t belong to Christ through baptism. Jesus Christ paid it all. We are saved by believing Paul’s gospel found in 1 Cor. 15:1-4. Anything else is adding works to Jesus Christ death burial and resurrection. He said “ it is finished .”You better read Romans again.
