Colossians 2:11-12 NASB
and in Him you were also circumcised with a circumcision performed without hands, in the removal of the body of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ, having been buried with Him in baptism, in which you were also raised with Him through faith in the working of God, who raised Him from the dead.
a) And in Him - refers to after an individual's human spirit has been transferred into Christ's Spiritual body, which is also described as being spiritually baptized into Christ.
b) You were Circumcised with a Circumcision performed without hands - refers to undergoing the washing of regeneration.
c) In the removal of the body of flesh - refers to the removal of the sin burden, what God held against the individual,
d) By the circumcision of Christ - Christ's sacrifice provides the means of removal, without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sin, and accordingly, when an individual is transferred spiritually into Christ, they undergo the circumcision done without hands, the washing of regeneration, removing what God held against them, nailing it to the cross.
e) Having been buried with Him in baptism - refers to being spiritually transferred (baptized) into Christ's spiritual body.
f) In which you were also raised with Him - refers to being born anew, made alive with Christ and raised as a new creation, a spiritual child of God. 2 Corinthians 5:17.
g) Through faith in the workings of God who raised Him from the dead - refers to those who accessed God's saving grace through their faith that God resurrected Jesus from the dead, and therefore would make those He transfers into Christ, spiritually alive with Christ, rather than spiritually dead separated from God.
