<blockquote><font size=1>In reply to:</font><hr>[color:"blue"]I would not put to much faith in the comments of John Zens<br><br>On the Puritan Message Boards John Zens and his NCT has been strongly criticised by various folk for promoting hyper-antinomianism and a new kind of dispensationalism.</font><hr></blockquote><p><br><br>My point was that Jon Zens (and also John Reisinger too) clearly saw the logical implications of calvinism and puritan covenant Theology leading directly to Christian Reconstructionism. Hence, they rejected puritan covenant theology in favour of NCT and Anabaptism. They invented "NCT" in order to avoid going all the way back to dispensationalism, and in order to have another alternative to the covenant theology of Christian Reconstruction. <br><br>And I would agree with you that NCT would be better labelled "NKD" or "New kind of Dispensationalism". But the point is that their rejection of puritan Covenant theology is entirely consistent with their rejection of Christian Reconstruction, since the latter is hermeneutically built on the former. Zens and Reisinger's only inconsistency is found in their rejection of classical dispensationalism, which is what they should logically embrace, given their own hermeneutics of discontinuity of the OT.<br><br>Colin
