The Newness of the New Covenant
From the Bill Shisko-James White baptism debate...
James White briefly lays out the case for the New Covenant being different from the Old Covenant, and thus how circumcision and baptism are not one and the same, but that the sign of the Old Covenant (circumcision) was given to both believers and unbelievers, but the sign of the New Covenant (baptism) ought only be properly given to believers...it is only a couple of minutes but it is good stuff! It was brought about by some people apparently accusing Dr. White, one of the greatest defenders of Reformed theology in modern times, of being insufficiently Reformed enough. That is one of the most annoying habits of paedobaptists, and again it is ironic that those that claim to be truly Reformed are those who have failed to reform a key doctrine: baptism.
