I’m a nobody, when I was a baby, I was baptised with water.

When I started reading the holy bible, my spirit was gently awakened in me, and my eyes and ears were open just a fraction.

After The Holy Spirit was convicting me of my sins, as I was praying, I wept with grief. Every time I sinned, I offended God. I was so ashamed of myself for what I had done, and for the way I had treated other people in the past. I wept so much I was exhausted.
God changed my heart. A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.

Now I am no longer selfish,
I am no longer a lover of money.
I am no longer a liar.
I am no longer a thief.
I have stopped using people to my advantage.

I am no longer spiteful towards others people.
I am no sarcastic towards others.
I am no longer rude towards others…
I no longer do my will, I only do Gods will; what he has commanded me to do for him, I am a new creator.

King James Bible Matthew 3:11

I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire:

If we truly love God, then we will obey "Every word" that proceeds out of his mouth (Matthew 4:4). Baptism is one of those words. In order to be baptized, certain events must take place: You must give up a lifestyle where sin has dominion, (ruler ship) over you. Sin according to 1 John 3: 4, Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression (breaking) of the law. You must be taught "The Word", before you can adhere to God's commandments (judgments\statues). These laws are found in the Holy Bible; beginning with Genesis and ending with Revelation. You must believe what the bible says and finally, you must confess that Jesus is Lord. Once this has been accomplished, you are qualified to be baptized in the name of Jesus.

Because we must repent first and change our sin full ways....Then Peter said unto them, "repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost." (Acts 2:38).

Wow oh wow. And it is no surprise that only a handful of people have responded. And it is no surprise that Magenta has responded, for she understands the doctrine of Spiritual Circumcision as do you.

All True Christians should be thrilled for your Transformation! You are a rare soul, and there is little doubt in my mind that you belong to the Remnant, the True Vine of Christ, for anyone who belongs to the Lord will be Transformed.

Romans 12:2 NKJV - "And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what [is] that good and acceptable and perfect will of God."

Of course, no one can become Tranformed without the Circumcision of Christ as described in the panel created by @Magenta. I appreciate her so much!!!

2 Corinthians 3:13-15~ We are not like Moses, who would put a veil over his face to keep the Israelites
from gazing at the end of what was fading away. But their minds were closed. For to this day the same veil remains at the reading
of the old covenant. It has not been lifted, because only in Christ can it be removed. And even to this day when Moses is read, a veil
covers their hearts. But whenever anyone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away.
