Here, a Brother of mine gives a great explaination of Romans 2:28-29, as he defines the True Jews as the Spirit proclaims........
Romans Chapter 2, verses 28 and 29:
For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh: But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.
In the Old Testament, God commanded that all the male blood descendants of Abraham were to be circumcised (Genesis 17:4), and that
law is still followed today by the Jews. Everyone who is a blood descendant of Abraham is a physical Jew. The Jew that God talks about in this passage is the person who has come to trust in the Lord Jesus. God says in Galatians Chapter 3, verse 29:
And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.
If someone is Christ"™s, it means that he has become saved.
We can be a Gentile and belong to the Lord Jesus, and then spiritually, we are of the seed of Abraham, that is, of the lineage of Abraham. We are the true Jews, which God speaks of in Romans 2:28 and 29. We are a Jew inwardly.
"śCircumcision is that of the heart"ť means that our sins have been cut off. It has nothing to do with physical circumcision.

Live Life in such a way that those who do not know Christ will come to know Him because they know you
OR,For he is not a Christian, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh: But he is a Christian, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.
In the Old Testament, God commanded that all the male blood descendants of Abraham were to be circumcised (Genesis 17:4), and that
law is still followed today by the Jews. Everyone who is a blood descendant of Abraham is a physical Jew( Wrong) The Arabs are not Jews Yet Ishmael is abraham's son). The Jew that God talks about in this passage is the person who has come to trust in the Lord God of Israel which is God In The Flesh . God says in Galatians Chapter 3, verse 29:
Just cincumcision does not make anyone a Jew, Circumcision in an outwardly sign of a covenant with God, A jew is one who loves God with all of his heart and all of his mind.
Not all circumcised love God ,But those that do are Jews.
And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's (spiritual)seed, and heirs according to the promise.
If someone is Christ"™s, it means that he has become saved.
We can be a Gentile and belong to the Lord Jesus, and then spiritually, we are of the seed of Abraham, that is, of the lineage of Abraham ( Faith). We are the true Jews, which God speaks of in Romans 2:28 and 29. We are a Jew inwardly.( you are part of the Jews not the Real physical Israel)
"śCircumcision is that of the heart"ť means that our sins have been cut off. It has nothing to do with physical circumcision.
You can only be of the lineage of Abraham's faith ,not of his seed which will inherit the earth and then the heavens.

I agree. Physical relation to Abraham means nothing. The Arabs, like present day Orthodox Jews are Christ Haters, and are not Spiritually of Abraham. The True Child of Abraham is Reborn Christian. We always were Chosen, didn't you know that ?
You are chosen if you choose Christ, if not you are Lost.
The Bible does not teach that man chooses Christ, but rather that Christ chooses man.
Quote:
I iwll like to see a verse where God chose gentiles, pease
God says that He chose the Church prior to the foundation of the World, hence not only Gentiles, but Jews, and all people who are Christian were Chosen by God. That is because God is Love Alex.
