This principle of remaining in one"s present condition applies to being circumcised as well as to being married. Both conditions were secondary to following the Lord obediently. God did not command celibacy or marriage, circumcision or uncircumcision (under the New Covenant). These are matters of personal choice in the church. One"s ministry might be one factor in his or her decision (e.g, Acts 16:3; cf. Galatians 5:6; Galatians 6:15). [source][source][source]
The idea of becoming uncircumcised after one has been circumcised seems strange, but some Jews did this to avoid being known as Jews when they participated in activities at the public gymnasiums. [1] They underwent an operation that reversed their circumcision. [source][source][source]
