One thought that I have long held is that only males were circumcised under the Old Covenant to my knowledge, whereas baptism today is administered by paedobaptists to both males and females under the New. Assuming there is a theological connection between circumcision and paedobaptism, I am forced to wonder, Why the inconsistency of application?
