(Gal. 3:26–29). In short, baptism says that the baptized one is a true son of Abraham, and an heir of the promise given to him. He is a citizen of the true Israel. This is also what circumcision says. Circumcision signified citizenship in Israel. “And the uncircumcised male child, who is not circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin, that person shall be cut off from his people; he has broken My covenant” (Gen. 17:14).
