I do not know a whole lot about covenant theology other than what I've read on this discussion board. Am I misunderstanding something? Your post is confusing to me. How can an unbeliever be in the covenant? What does that mean. Are you saying that an unbeliever who marries a believer is automatically going to be saved someday?? And that children of a believer are definately going to be saved?? Doesn't that get away from an individual's standing before God for their own life. I certainly don't assume my kids are going to be saved. It's only by God's grace just like in my life. I pray for their salvation daily and will train them in the Lord. But I don't think I can ever say this will "guarantee" their salvation. Isn't that what covenant theology is kind of doing?? ISn't that a bit presumptuous of God's grace?
