:Some paedobaptists appeal to this to defend the idea that just as circumcision is a seal linked to faith, so too baptism.35 However, this verse is speaking descriptively about Abraham and not prescriptively about his seed.36 Abraham’s descendants are circumcised as a seal of the covenant God made with Abraham, not because they themselves have faith.
