Jeffery, circumcision was part of the old covenant and the bible says whosever was not circumcised had no part in the nation of Israel and the promises of God. So what would've happened if Abraham did not circumcise? He would have been cut off and lost. imo

Circumcision was an ordinance. A sign of God's promise to them.
This still is not the question. What effected God's saving Grace? #1 God initiated Grace, not Abram. #2 Abraham's believing (same as
Romans 4) effected the power of God in Abram's life. I think
Romans 4 will speak to the circumcision issue, as to whether there was a role in salvation for circumcision. Are you familiar?
