What Timothy did to be more plausible to the Jews is one thing.
Nevertheless we have now received specific scriptural instruction on the matter.
1 Corinthians 7:18-19
18 Was a man already circumcised when he was called? He should not become uncircumcised. Was a man uncircumcised when he was called? He should not be circumcised. 19 Circumcision is nothing and uncircumcision is nothing. Keeping God’s commands is what counts.
Notice it does not end with, ...and the personal preferences of your pastor.
