Reference should be made to Revelation 21. The Holy Spirit brings the uncircumcised who believe, into the City of God. They are not second-class citizens. Their passport is stamped "Born in Zion". The record is made by God himself.

It is clear from many passages and books including Genesis, Numbers and Chronicles that God keeps careful records of individuals. It is not only schoolteachers who keep registers. There are records in the city of God. God's records are mentioned in the following passages:

Exodus 32:32-33
32 Yet now, if you will, forgive their sin—and if not, please blot me out of your book which you have written.” 33 Yahweh said to Moses, “Whoever has sinned against me, I will blot him out of my book.

Psalm 69:28
28 Let them be blotted out of the book of life, and not be written with the righteous.

Isaiah 4:3
3 It will happen that he who is left in Zion and he who remains in Jerusalem shall be called holy, even everyone who is written among the living in Jerusalem, 4 when the Lord shall have washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion, and shall have purged the blood of Jerusalem from within it, by the spirit of justice and by the spirit of burning. 5 Yahweh will create over the whole habitation of Mount Zion and over her assemblies, a cloud and smoke by day, and the shining of a flaming fire by night, for over all the glory will be a canopy.

Daniel 12:1
12 “At that time Michael will stand up, the great prince who stands for the children of your people; and there will be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time. At that time your people will be delivered, everyone who is found written in the book.

Luke 10:20
20 Nevertheless, don’t rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.”

Philippians 4:3
3 Yes, I beg you also, true partner, help these women, for they laboured with me in the Good News with Clement also, and the rest of my fellow workers, whose names are in the book of life.

Hebrews 12:22-24
22 But you have come to Mount Zion, and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to innumerable multitudes of angels, 23 to the festal gathering and assembly of the firstborn who are enrolled in heaven, to God the Judge of all, to the spirits of just men made perfect, 24 to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling that speaks better than that of Abel.

Revelation 3:5
5 He who overcomes will be arrayed in white garments, and I will in no way blot his name out of the book of life, and I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.

Revelation 13:8
8 All who dwell on the earth will worship him, everyone whose name has not been written from the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb who has been killed.

Revelation 17:8
8 The beast that you saw was, and is not; and is about to come up out of the abyss and to go into destruction. Those who dwell on the earth and whose names have not been written in the book of life from the foundation of the world will marvel when they see that the beast was, and is not, and shall be present.

Revelation 20:12
12 I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and they opened books. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged out of the things which were written in the books, according to their works.
...
15 If anyone was not found written in the book of life, he was cast into the lake of fire.

Revelation 21:27
27 There will in no way enter into it anything profane, or one who causes an abomination or a lie, but only those who are written in the Lamb’s book of life.

PSALM 87 8 7 8 7

1 On Jerus’lem’s holy mountain
he has founded his abode.
2 More than all of Jacob’s dwellings
Zion’s gates are dear to God.

3 Glorious things of you are spoken,
Zion, city of the LORD:
4 “Many drawn from all the nations
as your people I record.

“I will name as those who know me
Egypt, Tyre and Babylon;
Philistine along with Cushite
I will count as Zion-born.”

5 Yes, it will be said of Zion,
“This and that one here belong;
And on her the Highest’s blessing
will descend, and make her strong.”

6 “Born in Zion,” God will enter
in the peoples’ register.
7 They will sing, as they make music,
“All my fountains are in her.”
