I don't really believe in the dispensations, but I find some of the things that Progressive Dispensationalism teaches to be scriptural.
I did not know that you could not hold to the LBCF and be NCT.
How do I fix this problem? Can I still be part of the Puritan Board? |
Just like other systems, Jared, NCT has its shades; however, the Puritan Board is
Reformed and
Puritanesque by confessional standards. The WCF and the LBCF are both Covenantal in nature (although the major differences between the two being Baptism, Sacraments, and Church government). So, while there is room to wiggle here concerning baptism, there's not for non-Covenantal systems.
What I mean is this: It's OK that you don't have a grasp on all things covenantal, etc. It's OK for you to ask questions concerning such. But it's NOT OK to assert beliefs and practices that are contra the Confessions (for example, Amyraldianism, or Dispensationalism, NCT, non-Sabbatarianism). Thus far, you haven't done so, so you're safe. I would, however, encourage you to familiarize yourself with the Confessions and read up on some things concerning NCT and PD from a Reformed perspective.
