CIRCUMCISION

The Circumcision in the Old Testament is like Baptism in the New Testament

Circumcision is a sign of the Old Covenant and Baptism is a sign of the New Covenant

Both Circumcision and Baptism have inward and outward aspects

The inward aspect is more important than the outward

Having the outward without the inward is hypocrisy

Having the inward without the outward is of no effect

The outward confession of faith is a testimony, a symbol and an act of obedience

Baptism for the Christian is like circumcision for the Jew
