And no longer shall each one teach his neighbor and each his brother, saying, 'Know the LORD,' for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest, declares the LORD. For I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more." (Jeremiah 31:34, ESV)
This passage is sometimes used by the Baptists to defend their position that only true believers are in the New Covenant.
What is its (likely) meaning?
Is it that all God's true people in the New Covenant era have an anointing of the Spirit to be prophets, as in Joel 2:28-29:
"And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh; your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, and your young men shall see visions. Even on the male and female servants in those days I will pour out my Spirit.
and Acts 2:16-18.
