So I am listening to the baptism debate Jen posted and Dr. Schreiner said something about CT that is confusing.
He states that nowhere in Scripture do we see that there was only one covenant of grace.
Dr. Schreiner points out that Ishmael received grace in the first covenant, but when mentioning the new covenant in the NT Ishmael is never mentioned. Thus the two covenants may overlap, but they are not the same.
Now I know that the WCF points out that There are not therefore two covenants of grace, differing in substance, but one and the same, under various dispensations.
So can someone clear this up?
Am I missing something that Dr. Schreiner is stating? You can see Dr. Schreiner's statement at the around the 31:30 mark.
