Following up on a previous post which briefly surveyed the doctrinal development of covenant theology from the reformation to the18th century, the video below helps further flesh out some of the distinctions that were taking place between those who advocated for infant-baptism (though not for salvation) as outlined in the Westminster Confession of Faith vs. those who advocated for believer’s baptism as outlined in the Second London Baptist Confession of Faith. Lord willing in the next post in this series, we’ll further examine the historical developments of covenant thought and some of the significant departures that have left a profound footprint on the church today.
Terms from the video to be defined in subsequent posts:
- 1689 Second London Baptist Confession
- Westminster Confession of Faith
- Covenant of Works
- Covenant of Grace
- Federal Headship: Adam and Christ
- Nehemiah Coxe/John Owen – Covenant Theology From Adam to Christ
- Pascal Denault – The Distinctiveness of Baptist Covenant Theology
