Subject: Is baptism a sign of the New Covenant? |
Bible Note: Greetings Joe! We may be using the words 'sign of the covenant' in a different manner. :-) The way I understand the term from the Old Testament, one had to be circumcized in order to be a receipient of the benefits of the covenant. I don't see anything used in this manner in the New Testament. Are there things which those who are part of the covenant should do? Yes! Do these things have to be done to become a recipient of the New Covenant blessings? No! I would be real hesitant to call something a 'sign of the covenant' if the Bible doesn't call it such.
