Baptism, Infant Baptism, and its neccesity for Eucharist reception

Exodus 12:43

"And the LORD said to Moses and Aaron: This is the service of the Phase: No foreigner shall eat of it."

First Apology of St. Justin Martyr

And this food is called among us Εὐχαριστία [the Eucharist], of which no one is allowed to partake but the man who believes that the things which we teach are true, and who has been washed with the washing that is for the remission of sins, and unto regeneration, and who is so living as Christ has enjoined."

Exodus 12:48-49

"And if any stranger be willing to dwell among you, and to keep the Phase of the Lord, all his males shall first be circumcised, and then shall he celebrate it according to the manner: and he shall be as he that is born in the land: but if any man be uncircumcised, he shall not eat thereof."

The same law shall be to him that is born in the land..."

Colossians 2:11-12

"In whom also you are circumcised with circumcision not made by hand, in despoiling of the body of the flesh, but in the circumcision of Christ: Buried with him in baptism, in whom also you are risen again by the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him up from the dead."
