1 | N.T. circumcision? | Col 2:12 | Searcher56 | 22882 | ||
Scripture ... Acts 1:5, 11:16; Rom 6:4; 1 Cor 12:13; Gal 3:27; Col 2:12; 1 Pet 3:21 ... Charis, I believe these verses, based on the context of these passages (which includes yours), it is about the bapitism of the Holy Spirit. He coems in and changes you, including the "circumcision of heart" ... our heart changes. God wanted Israel's heart ... but it was far from Him (Isa 29:13, Matt 15:8). I hope this help, otomodachi, Searcher |

2 | N.T. circumcision? | Col 2:12 | charis | 23000 | ||
Dear Searcher, Greetings in the name of Jesus! I have looked at all these Scriptures, and only come to the conclusion that the all deal with the word 'baptize.' I do not see any realtionship with them and the term circumcision of heart. Colossians 2:11 and 12 seem to be talking about the death, burial and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ. This is commonly held to be in regards to water baptism. While I agree that this connection with water baptism is far from conclusive, I also must say that there is little evidence that this Scripture is talking ONLY about the baptism of the Holy Spirit. Therefore, as I wrote to our colleague Nolan, I would lean toward the promise of, and the commandment to pursue a circumcized heart are connected with the 'washings' (i.e. Hebrews 6:1) of the three baptisms in the New Testament. This would mean, by the way, that water baptism is more than a mere ritual, but an act of obedience that has real consequence in our walk with the Lord. In Christ Jesus, charis |

Scripture ... Colossians 2:11 and 12 ... Charis, I understand some see this as being related to water baptism. But, I see it as being our spiritual, as well as the other verses I cited. It also fits your question better. S | ||||||
