The Covenant of Circumcision (4 of 4 notes)

Part Two
Bibliology: 14 THE COVENANTS OF SCRIPTURE
A DISPENSATIONAL THEOLOGY
By Charles F Baker

It should be remarked that the gospel of the circumcision began in Genesis 17 and was proclaimed by Christ in His earthly ministry and was continued by Peter and the other apostles at Pentecost. Sometime later God called out a new apostle and committed to him a new, unprophesied dispensation. Whenever that change took place there must have been the cessation of the circumcision dispensation, although outwardly there was a period of transition from one program to the other, as seen in the latter half of the book of Acts. Peter had the gospel of the circumcision committed to him in the beginning, but this does not mean that he continued that ministry indefinitely. It was evidently God’s will that Peter conform to Paul’s new message, since God sent Paul up to Jerusalem by special revelation to communicate the gospel of the uncircumcision to the other apostles (Galatians 2:2).
