Paedobaptists implore baptists to provide the scriptural instance where God has decreed a change in the way the covenant of grace is administered. I'd like to suggest some points and see how it fares.
1. The Abrahamic is not the first or prime administration of the CoG. The promises and pictures of the CoG have been around since Genesis 3.
2. The Abrahamic is the beginning of a particular promise relating to a particular nation, its land, and its seed. It is the root that gives rise to Israel and all that Israel will come to represent.
3. If Jesus is correct that all of Scripture, the OT, testifies of him, then everything before him is a figure or type. Israel
4. Types are fulfilled when the reality emerges.
In summary, I contend that all revelation prior to Christ is a type or picture. It is temporal in nature. It is meant to be fulfilled and become eternal in nature in him. The change from temporal to eternal is the very significant change in administration that is in view.
