A New Testament Jew !

[beloved57]

Rom 2:28-29

28 For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh:

29 But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.

Folks the definition of a Jew under the New Covenant has absolutely noting to do with the physical like race/ethnicity or blood line , but it is anyone regardless of race who has been born again and has received a spiritual circumcision of the heart.

28 For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh:

29 But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.

Folks the definition of a Jew under the New Covenant has absolutely noting to do with the physical like race/ethnicity or blood line , but it is anyone regardless of race who has been born again and has received a spiritual circumcision of the heart.

Is that what you believe these verses to be saying?

Shalom.

Exactly! A person's ethnicity of the flesh has no basis for finding acceptance with God, but instead has everything to do with being Born of the Spirit.

Phil. 3:3
For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh.

John 4:24
God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

So it's those Born of the Spirit, not of blood, that God reckons as a True Jew John 1:13.

And they keep all the Law perfectly in their Covenant Head and Surety Christ Jesus Rom. 5:19b.

Exactly but many religious people believe that ethnic jews will be saved by God through Christ based upon their jewish ethnicity !

Yes they do, but they believe in error, scriptures prove that to be false.

National Israel [physical nation], wasn't God's People as a whole, but His Election of Grace Eph. 1:4; 2 Tim. 1:9, His People which He foreknew Rom. 11:2; including ethnic Jews and Gentiles, are those that constitute the Israel Spiritual that was promised Salvation Is. 45:17.

God's Elect are His Chosen People according to His Purpose and Grace; not by their race.

Rom. 9:8
8 That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these not the children of God: but the children of the promise are counted for the seed.


Gal. 3:16, 29

16 Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.

29 And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.
