Circumcision and Baptism

Before moving on to consider the Mosaic (or Sinaitic) covenant, it seems that now might be a sensible time to consider what relationship there might be between the act of circumcision and that of water baptism.

The Covenants. The Abrahamic Covenant

Read Gen 12:1-3; 17:1-14; Gal 3:1-18; 4:21-31

I don’t believe that this is so, although it is often made out to be. Covenant Theology is a way of showing forth the unity of the Bible, of seeing God’s almighty power and Divine...

Sorry if that bothers some of you. Well, not really.

The Federal Vision advocates hate this system...
