Right, Randy,
And of course the biblical names for things we CAN see and CAN'T see may be identical, but they have nothing to do with one another. Sure.

My answer to the question asked of me was direct to the point which was asked. As we have gone round and round on many times, the whole question of "which baptism" "and "which circumcision" is in view is really meaningless to me when we aren't addressing an historic baptism, but rather the theology of baptism.

We deny that the two circumcisions were fundamentally about two different things, just like we deny that the two baptisms are about two different things. But don't forget to drop the Barcellos quote in this thread too. Gotta get all the RBs to "represent." Three posts to one. You win.
