| Among Christians, there are significant differences on the question of membership in the New Covenant. These differences can be so serious that they form a principal reason for division i.e., denominationalism. Christian denominations exist because of their answer to this question. The first major split is between those that believe that only believers are members of the New Covenant, and (reflecting the idea of the Jewish covenants as national or community covenants) those that believe that believers and their children[24] are members of the New Covenant; these differences give rise to different views on whether children may be baptised: the credobaptist view and the paedobaptist view. Secondarily, there are differences among paedobaptists as to the nature of the membership of children in the covenant. concrete contractors vancouver waWeight Loss Solutions | |
