No, the filters are not reporting that it is dangerous - they report that this content is actually taught to Presbyterians when they arrive in heaven so a preliminary viewing of this material is to ones real advantage
Particularly helpful to distinguish the more modern dispensational theology framework that is often assumed.
I actually was able to listen to the videos via Firefox:
I have some issues with their heurmeneutics, first they say that the Abrahmic/Mosaic covenants were covenants of works which pertains only to the physical blessing of land of Israel but then they say that the sacraments of these covenants (circumcision and the passover) had 2 typological purposes, one was pointing to the blessing of the Land of Israel and the other was pointing to the sacrifice of Christ on the cross (the eternal blessing of salvation). So if I get this correctly the sacrements were pointing to realities of this so called Abrahamic/Mosaic CoW and of the CoG (which was not established yet)?
Then when they criticise the Westminister interpretation of the CoG they actually use their definition of CoG (which seem like a confusion between the CoG and CoR) and point out what they see as inconsistencies.
It should also be noted that John Gill would be classed as a 20th century RB in terms of his covenant theology!
I cant view the videos from my location but I was looking at the chart comparing 1689 Federalism and Westminster Federalism and I noticed one of the difference is that the 1689 ers believe the CoG is solely the New Testament versus Westminister who believe the CoG it displayed in various administration (Abrahamic, Mosaic, Davidic and New Testament). Does this mean the 1689 ers believe there were no CoG in the OT dispensation? If so how was salvation attained if the CoG wasn't available to them? Through the CoW? By just looking at the charts the 20th Century Reformed Baptists seem more orthodox than the 1689 ers.
20th century Baptist gets my vote,
There never was a man who was saved except through Christ

Therefore I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven people, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven. And whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come. (Matt 12:31-32, ESV)
The giving of the law was an act of grace unto His elect. The fact that His holy law is revealed to us is an act of grace. To know what is His standard is an act of grace.
To say that the Mosaic Covenant is a COW is where I disagree. It is all of grace because it shows us that there is none righteous, no not one. The law points to the very distinction between God and man, the very perfection that is God and the very depravity that is man. What grace to reveal this unto His people!!
Praise Him for His grace and mercy in giving the law through the further revealing of His COG that we call the Mosaic Covenant.
