“Under the providence of God and the teaching and leadership of the apostles, circumcision was ‘fading away,’ along with the rest of the cultus of the Old Covenant . . . But while circumcision was fading away, it continued to be practiced by thousands in a way that affected the membership of the visible church of the first century . . . This means we can say with confidence that the first century Christian church legitimately had at least some infant members — circumcised sons of believing Jews” (To a Thousand Generations, p. 72).
