Once you are adopted into Jesus Christ, you can not be un-adopted...God will drag you all the way home with you kicking and screaming if he has to...

This is painfully wrong. Man has free agency and can choose his path as well as change his path.

God never forces salvation.

David committed murder and lost his salvation.

A spiritual operation takes place...Apparently you don't understand that...It's not like we go down and join the local Eagles or Moose club, or a Mormon or Catholic church...

We become a new creature...

2Co_5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

We have a new nature (a new man)...Yet, we still have the old nature and they are constantly at war with each other...If we allow to old nature to take control, God will prod us along, sometimes to the point of taking off his belt...But he will not un-adopt us...

What nonsense.

David did not lose his salvation.

Show us the Scripture that says that.

Also, we’re under grace now, not the Law. The law of grace supersedes the Law.

I disagree. He lost the JOY of his salvation.

Do you know for a fact that David went to hell?

You do err, knowing neither thr Scriptures nor the power of God.

"And David said unto Nathan, I have sinned against the LORD. And Nathan said unto David, The LORD also hath put away thy sin; thou shalt not die" (2 Sam. 12:13 AV).

When God forgives, He also forgets. "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness" (1 Jn. 1:9 AV)

David abjectly confessed/repented and God completely forgave.

Furthermore, David did not lay a hand on Uriah, therefore Uriah was not murdered. He willingly died in battle. Furthermore, Uriah was a Gentile, and should not have been marrying a Jewish girl. The sentence for that alone was death.
