Thanks for that, but I found his argument somewhat confused and so I think I will stick to the traditional Reformed view advocated also by Martin Bucer, John Calvin, Zacharius Ursinus, Johannes Wollebius, John Owen, Francis Turretin, Matthew Henry, John Gill and B.B. Warfield.
I think it notable that this rite which was distinctively and traditionally Jewish appears only in James which was the earliest and most Jewish epistle.
