Another way to describe the same transformation of your life is to use another package of terminology and narrative. Before you were a member of the kingdom of darkness. Then you were cut off from the dominion of darkness, from untruth. This is in the Jewish language of “circumcision,” using the term metaphorically, with reference to the cutting off of Jesus’ life in his death on the cross. Your “baptism” follows the model of death and burial in Christ. The result of either way of describing things (circumcision or baptism) was that you had been in one condition (sin, or “estranged and hostile in mind”) and are now forgiven and no longer considered guilty of sin.
