Matthew1344
Puritan Board Sophomore
Has anyone ever read this book?
Is it confusing to you?
A couple months ago, I was told by a baptist friend that my view of Cov theology is not baptist. I had no idea what he was talking about. I thought what i learned from Edwards and Calvin was just reformed understanding of cov theology. I had no idea it was different than baptist cov theology.
He told me that if i view the Cov the way that i say i do, then i would have to baptize infants. He said a 1689 federalist does not baptize infants because of their view of the cov. Their view is different than yours.
So I got this book. Confused the mess out of me. When i read presbyterian stuff, i understand. And when i listen to Dr. McMahon lectures on the subject they were extremely confusing 6 months ago, but i listened to them again very slowly taking notes. Took me around 20 hours to get through his 6hour set. I now feel as if i am presbyterian.
So i started out baptist, looking for Presbyterian arguments.
Now I seem to be Presbyterian, looking for baptist argument.
So i decided to reread the distinctiveness of baptist covenant theology once more, and see what i find. But as of now, still really confusing. I am having trouble with the dualistic nature of the abrahamic cov.
