I did not say, and nor does the text, that everyone in the 'visible church' (thinks: where is this phrase in the Bible?)

Are we going to sink to that hermeneutic?

The text very clearly says that everyone in the New Covenant knows Him.


List them by name. Indeed, and since you cannot list them, equating baptism to election(true covenant)is indefensible.

Clearly, the New Covenant and the 'visible church' are not the same thing.

Absolutely. And where did the administration change? All those in the visible covenant (profesors included) are not part of the true covenant. The dilemma of baptising those outside the covenant is as real to baptists as the orthodox.


God bless,
