Lets look at Philippians 3:1-3.
(Philippians 3:1-3)
Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you, to me indeed is not grievous, but for you it is safe.
2 Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision(Judaizers).
3 For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh(Race)
Lets also look at Philippians 3:17-21.
(Philippians 3:17-21)
17 Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have us for an ensample.
18 (For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ:
19 Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.)
20 For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:
21 Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.
The writer of Hebrews declares to us in (Hebrews 10:9)Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second. God sent Jesus to shed His blood, thus fulfilling the Covenant He made with Abraham. Abraham shed blood through circumcision and the one who Covenanted with Abraham shed His blood on the cross fulfilling the Abrahamic Covenant and establishing a better covenant with much better promises.
The Apostle Paul declared in (Philippians 3:2) Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision. The word concision means a cutting down of, or mutilation.
Today I want us to take a look at a group of Apostolic Jesus Name Pentecostals who are enemies of the Cross of Christ. These demand you and I to be re baptized using the Hebrew name of Jesus which is Yeshua or we cannot be saved. These are attempting to revive the keeping of the law of Moses and the commandments given to Israel in (Exodus 20) especially the Sabbath, who through the spirit of deception believe that one must keep the law and be saved. Today I am marking these who are of the concision, who are attempting to do away with Calvary to live under the law that was nailed to Jesus Cross. Acts 15 at the First General Conference of the Church, the Agenda was not to vote on the articles of faith, or to go over the church budget. No the number one item of business as we said earlier was whether or not converted Gentiles or Jews should keep the Law of Moses and be circumcised.
