INTRODUCTION AND QUESTION

[The Texas RAT]

Will, have you considered where the Scriptures tie Circumcision to Baptism... see Col 2:11-12

Chuck, I can see no relation between the verses you pointed out and the practice of baptizing babies (sprinkling water on their foreheads). For one the verses are speaking metaphorically about circumcision and not literally, and secondly they are talking to grown people that have made a conscious decision to follow after The Anointed One.

Anyway the way I see it is did Yehoshua get water sprinkled on his forehead when his parents took him to the Temple to be circumcised? If not then I see no reason as of yet according to the Scriptures to do such as a ritual to any offspring that I may have. Yet I do find it interesting that you a couple of verses in a chapter in which the context is being the admonishment not to be lead astray with man made doctrines.
