| | | Justification: The Active and Passive Righteousness of Christ Imputed
With the rise of the heresy of the Federal Vision, New Perspectives on Paul, and the Auburn Avenue Theology, there stands a continued need for reproclaiming the truth of historic Christianity. Contrary to modern liberal theologians who are continually trying to appeal to the masses with new fangled theological ideas, such a reproclamation of orthodox theology is in accord with both the Gospel, and the Westminster Confession of Faith, and needs no revision, updating or change. Reformed Theology does not need to be modernized; it simply needs to be understood....

| He says some good things, but I think his rejection of the Covenant of Works is detrimental to the view he is trying to espouse.

Absolutely - and for so many of us this is a life-long pursit. We don't need to waste time chasing "new-fangled" ideas, but to devote ourselves to truly understanding and reinforce the foundational truth of the faith we espouse. This is the only true safeguard against error and the continual danger for heresy to creep into the Church.

| Matt or Phil,
Do New Covenant Theologians reject the Covenant of Works?

Dr. McMahon,
First, thank you exceedingly for your representation of the faith once for all delivered to the saints.
Question: Can you please define the "Covenant of Works," its requirements, scope, and purpose, and explain whether or not it contains the necessity of the "obedience of faith" ?
