Since the Apostle Paul taught that Gentiles did not need to be circumcised to become Christians, why did he circumcise Timothy before they embarked on a missionary journey? And how does this affect us today? In this sermon, R.C. Sproul explains the broader implications of Paul’s actions for debates around the doctrine of baptism, encouraging believers to be charitable and patient with one another while approaching the issue through a careful study of Scripture. This sermon was preached by R.C. Sproul at Saint Andrew’s Chapel in Sanford, FL.
