    What Was the ACTUAL Point of Circumcision?

    Circumcision was established by God to identify specific earthly promises to Abraham and his descendants and to the nation that would come from him and through which the Messiah would come. Specifically, it was a sign that Abraham would be the father of many nations, and that through Israel, Jesus the Christ, the seed, would be born. Circumcision also pointed toward a greater spiritual reality in that while physical circumcision could not achieve any real constraint of sin and caused God to have no obligation to save anyone, circumcision of the heart was only for the sons of God. But as is often the case with the earthly types that God institutes, because of sin, physical circumcision is often taught to have direct spiritual significance. In the New Testament, there were Jews who tried to tie circumcision directly to salvation to the point where Peter was caught up in their lies and had to be publicly rebuked by Paul. This is also a distinct disagreement between Presbyterians and Reformed Baptists where Presbyterians associate circumcision with baptism and by implication apply the promises of the baptism of Jesus Christ to unbelieving children and from it a form of belonging or covenant membership within the church. We believe that this Presbyterian view of the relationship between circumcision and baptism is contrary to scripture. (We are even more opposed to the views of circumcision and baptism that lead to paedocommunion and to the teachings called Federal Vision)Please join us as we discuss the nature of circumcision and the purposes to which God appointed it.

    Galatians 3:1-9 Father Abraham Had Many Sons + PDF Discussion Guide, NTRF.org

    To the Jews, the sons of Abraham were his lineal, physical descendants. We must let the New Testament interpret the Old. Paul revealed the truth that the prophesied sons of Abraham are those who have the same faith as Abraham (ethnicity has nothing to do with it). Tina Turner sang, "What love got to do with it?" Paul could have crooned, "What's race got to do with it?" Here's how Paul put it in Romans: CSB Romans 4:9b-11 Faith was credited to Abraham for righteousness. In what way …was it credited—while he was circumcised, or uncircumcised? It was … while he was … uncircumcised…. This was to make him the father of all who believe but are not circumcised … NIV Galatians 3:29 If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise. The physical descendants promised to Abraham were a type of the ultimate fulfillment: his spiritual descendants. Physical Israel was only a foreshadowing of the true fulfillment: Christ and the Church. This is why, at the end of Galatians, Paul refers to the Church as the true Israel: NIV Galatians 6:15-16 Neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything; what counts is a new creation.* Peace and mercy to all who follow this rule, even to the Israel of God. [All who live by this new-creation standard are specifically described as "the Israel of God", designating the true people of God in the new covenant]. *NIV 2 Corinthians 5:17 … if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation …
