Live as you are called…

Only let each person lead the life that the Lord has assigned to him, and to which God has called him. This is my rule in all the churches. Was anyone at the time of his call already circumcised? Let him not seek to remove the marks of circumcision. Was anyone at the time of his call uncircumcised? Let him not seek circumcision. For neither circumcision counts for anything nor uncircumcision, but keeping the commandments of God. Each one should remain in the condition in which he was called. Were you a bondservant when called? Do not be concerned about it. (But if you can gain your freedom, avail yourself of the opportunity.) For he who was called in the Lord as a bondservant is a freedman of the Lord. Likewise he who was free when called is a bondservant of Christ. You were bought with a price; do not become bondservants of men. So, brothers, in whatever condition each was called, there let him remain with God. (1 Corinthians 7:17-24, ESV)

You do not need to do anything to prove you are a follower of Christ to anyone other than follow Christ!

People were saying that you had to be circumcised. So if you were a Greek you needed to be cut in order to be a follower of Christ.

But the circumcision that God worries about works for both male and female. It is a circumcision of the heart and is not seen physically by other people except in the light shining through you that points to Jesus.

So do not think you need to do anything to make other believe you follow Jesus other than follow where He leads you.
