Colossians 2:12
Compare all
10 and you are complete in Him, who is the ahead of all principality and power.  

Not Legalism but Christ

11 In Him you were also acircumcised with the circumcision made without hands, by bputting off the body of the sins of the flesh, by the circumcision of Christ,  
12 aburied with Him in baptism, in which you also were raised with Him through bfaith in the working of God, cwho raised Him from the dead.  
13 And you, being dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He has made alive together with Him, having forgiven you all trespasses,
14 ahaving wiped out the1 handwriting of requirements that was against us, which was contrary to us. And He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross.  
15 aHaving disarmed bprincipalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it.  
16 So let no one ajudge you in food or in drink, or regarding a1 festival or a new moon or sabbaths,

Colossians 2:12

Which he wrought in you, when ye were as it were buried with him in baptism - The ancient manner of baptizing by immersion is as manifestly alluded to here, as the other manner of baptizing by sprinkling or pouring of water is, Hebrews 10:22. But no stress is laid on the age of the baptized, or the manner of performing it, in one or the other; but only on our being risen with Christ, through the powerful operation of God in the soul; which we cannot but know assuredly, if it really is so: and if we do not experience this, our baptism has not answered the end of its institution. By which ye are also risen with him - From the death of sin to the life of holiness. It does not appear, that in all this St. Paul speaks of justification at all, but of sanctification altogether.
