Even among the relatives, those not circumcised were excommunicated and remained gentiles.Jewish not due to circomcision, as they were Jewish by being ancestors to one of the 12 tribes of Israel!
“This is my covenant, which ye shall keep, between me and you and thy seed after thee: every man-child among you shall all be circumcised. And ye shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin, and it shall be a token of the covenant betwixt me and you. And he that is eight days old shall be circumcised among you, every man-child in your generations, he that is born in the house, or bought with money of any stranger, which is not of thy seed. He that is born in thy house, and he that is bought with thy money, must needs be circumcised: and my covenant shall be in your flesh for an everlasting covenant. And the uncircumcised man-child whose flesh of his foreskin is not circumcised, that soul shall be cut off from his people: he hath broken my covenant.’” Genesis 17:10–14 (NCPB)
This is why those calling themselves Biblical Jews are lying. Because Jesus abolished circumcision on the cross.
“Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie: behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.” Revelation 3:9 (NCPB)
