Romans 2: 29 includes verses that pertain to points I share in my books and in many blog posts. I have discussed the indwelling of the Holy Spirit restored to those in repentance by the grace of God through the sin sacrifice of His Son, Jesus Christ. It is by the work of the Spirit that we are justified and sanctified, referred to as “circumcision of the heart:”
No, a person is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is circumcision of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the written code. Such a person’s praise is not from other people, but from God.
I have endeavored to provide a compelling case for a means (dualist interaction) by which the Holy Spirit communes with us in our time giving us in repentance “circumcision of the heart.”
