I'm looking for THE essential presupposition that undergirds covenant theology from both the Reformed and Covenant baptist perspective.
NO lengthy tombes, arguments or discourses please! I do not intend for this to be a debate, unless you disagree with someone of your own same confession. What is the fundamental assumption that you bring to your understanding of covenant theology? Presuppositions are basically unproven axioms, so no point trying.
From what I understand from the Reformed position: there has always been ONE way in which God has viewed and dealt with his people and has not changed in all generations.
Covenantal Baptist: The cross of Christ (New Covenant) brings out a fundamental change in the way God views those whom he calls his.
Is this essentially correct? I think this needs more tweaking and boiling down, but I'm looking for the basic of the basic.
