- 1812, Andrew Lee, Sermons on Various Important Subjects:
- For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love."
- 1856, Samuel Simon Schmucker, American Lutheranism Vindicated; or, Examination of the Lutheran Symbols, on Certain Disputed Topics:
- As the apostle of the Gentiles declares, that circumcision is nothing and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of God: so as baptism occupies the place of circumcision, baptism is nothing and the want of it nothing, unless accompanied with a sincere, universal and irrevocable purpose to keep the commandments of God.
