There are diverse doctrines being taught by churches regarding circumcision, baptism, and the atonement. The important factor is answering the question, "What does the Bible teach?"

Subjects covered are the doctrine of reconciliation, the covenant of circumcision, the promise God made to Abraham and his seed, the atonement of Christ and the repentance of man typified in baptism, the Roman yoke, the Word of God, the Abrahamic Covenant, and an answer to a brother with many questions.
