Looks great. Will be great to see the finished product. Michael, does this mean Octavious/Octavia is being considered for your first born?

Baptism is definately in some sense the NT equivalent of circumcision:

In him also you were circumcised with a circumcision made without hands, by putting off the body of the flesh, by the circumcision of Christ, having been buried with him in baptism, in which you were also raised with him through faith in the powerful working of God, who raised him from the dead. (Colossians 2)

Credo and paedo baptists just differ in working out the similarities and differences.

Interesting stuff about the number 8!!

Ummm...maybe. I just copied the text from some website. I thought it sounded good, but I guess that's why you smart folks go to seminary. I've edited the post to say some people understand baptism/circumcision that way.

Wow! This looks amazing- I definitely appreciate the thought and symbolism going into the aesthetic. However, isn't it only paedobaptist who hold to baptism as a replacement of circumcision?

I just realized all that stuff about the number eight might make me sound like one of those freaky numerology people.
