hmm i'd argue that circumcision of the heart is NT circumcision, not baptism; but i'm out of time, i'll come back later. Have a good day

But baptism is involved in that circumcision of the heart.

Colossians 2:11-12 In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ: (12) Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead.

Baptism is when the circumcision of the heart takes place, which is why baptism is useless without FAITH.
Blessings!

How can we agree on such things as this yet disagree as to the time frame of application. LOL

By the way Mike, none of this is meant by me to be derogatory or to imply that I don't think some one is not saved if they do not agree with me. Just laying things out from my point of view. As things continue to come to me looking through a fulfilled point of view.
