He argues that baptism has replaced circumcision as the sign of God’s promise; while the external ceremony has changed, the spiritual mystery—forgiveness of sins and regeneration—remains the same. Calvin asserts that the covenant made with Abraham, which included his offspring, applies equally to Christians today. Consequently, to den...
