Hey everyone.
I'm listening to Sinclair Ferguson hold forth on covenant baptism right now. He discussed how he warns parents who would cavalierly present their children for baptism that in so doing the children become subject to the obligations of the covenant (viz. faith). He warns them that they must grow up to believe or they will be subject to the curses of the covenant.
That raised a question in my mind: how does perishing lost with the sign of the covenant differ in any way than perishing lost without the covenant sign? Is their a distinction between coming under the covenantal curse that proceeds from the CoW as opposed to the CoG? Or is he referring to the discipline of the Church?
Thoughts?
