What I find curious is the number of those Baptists who say they hold to CT but are non Sabbatarian.
Just as there are different shades of Covenant Theology, so are there with NCT. For example, I would say that my Church (while myself being Covenantal) is more along the lines of Continental Reformed in that they say the 4th Commandment was mostly spiritual (with which I disagree); however, my church would still reconize the decalogue as being binding.

Isn't Baptist CT and Presbyterian CT different with Baptism being one demonstration of that difference? I'll have to go back to my Peter Masters sermons on this subject but I always thought they were different.
I'm saying I disagree with the position my church takes on the Sabbath. Of course, I don't make this a bone of contention, so as to avoid making a stink in the church.Just as there are different shades of Covenant Theology, so are there with NCT.

Are you simply disagreeing with your church or do you also disagree that there is as much disagreement with the Continental and British views as many suppose? If I'm not mistaken, I think there are a good many on this board and elsewhere who will argue that there is no essential difference between the Continental and British (WCF) views, although the Continental confessions do not spell things out quite as clearly as do the Westminster Standards.
What I have a problem with, and what NCT (by implication) purports is that somehow Jesus brought a law that was new or better? The problem with that, though, is that God's Law can't get any better than perfect (Ps. 19, et al).
Do most Continental Reformed Churches hold to the spiritual view or have they imported the mostly imported the idea from Presbyterianism? Is the Continental view closer to Calvin's view then the Presbyterian view?
Thanks.
Yeah. To quote O Brother, Where Art Thou?What I find curious is the number of those Baptists who say they hold to CT but are non Sabbatarian.
THAT DON'T MAKE NO SENSE!

Would it follow that Sabbatarian Baptists should give up their credo position and Baptist children of believers?
Just thinking...

What are some of the flavours of sabbaterianism?
The recreation exception is not to some jot and tittle; it is a distinguishing mark of Puritan Sabbatarianism.What are some of the flavours of sabbaterianism?
For example, R.C. Sproul has written that he believes that recreation is permissible on the Sabbath. Some who are sabbatarians don't necessarily agree with every jot and tittle of what the Westminster Larger Catechism has to say about it.
Ahhhh, I remember reading about that.
Quote from Dr. Sproul: This group of Christians who believe the Sabbath should be observed actually splits into two groups. One holds what we call the Continental view: Recreation is permitted on the Sabbath. The other holds the Puritan view: Recreation is forbidden on the Sabbath. I take the position that recreation is a legitimate form of rest on the Sabbath.

If it were only that easy, to dismiss it as a dream...

The distinction is but a dream. As far as I can discern there was no major difference between the Continental and British view.
