I recently listened to two good audio sermons on infant baptism by Richard Pratt (Reformed Sermons and Lectures on Infant Baptism), and realize that it has to do with seeing the bible as one complete whole. Not segmented as in dispensationalism.
There is not a break from the OT to the NT. It is one Covenant of Grace through all of history. It is the same God from the OT that is in the NT.
I guess I was still reading it from a notion that something changed when Jesus came and died. That that started a new era. I guess this also explains the notion of the moral laws still being in effect as well. Seeing the bible as one complete whole changes how everything is viewed and understood.
