Pope Shenouda III Circumcision is a mark that can not be effected Likewise, baptism can not be erased As blood is shed in circumcision likewise, The merit of the Blood shed on our behalf is received in the new life in baptism As the circumcised was considered a member of God's people(Gen.17: 7) likewise, The baptised becomes a member of the Church; of God's Body As the uncircumcised was cut off from the community (Gen.17:14) likewise, he who is not born of water and the Spirit (John.3:3,5) will not enter the kingdom of God because he was not baptised, he was not buried with Christ and did not rise with Him As circumcision was a must and a necessity by God's command likewise, baptism is necessary for the forgiveness of sins and for the membership in Christ's Body |
