Not a monolithic movement:
Among 1689 Federalists there is much variation.
Any theological position contains variation within it. But theological positions exist because of unity/agreement on certain points. 1689 Federalism is a system of covenant theology unified around certain key points (i.e. Abrahamic Dichotomy, New Covenant = Covenant of Grace, Mosaic was "of works") while allowing diversity in expression on other points.
But again, you are completely free to be a baptist and reject 1689 Federalism. You are even free to reject 1689 Federalism and still hold to the 2LBC.
I am a baptist. But I see no reason we cannot focus on the unity of the Bible and state that God's plan of grace started from Genesis 3:15. All believers were united into Christ and the end goal was always union with Christ.
1689 Federalism agrees.
