Covenant Theology
Covenant Theology, Baptism and Infant Baptism - what do we make of it all? Is the sacrament of baptism a sign and seal of regeneration? Is circumcision a sign and seal of regeneration? Is the covenant sign something we should administer to our children? Did Abraham administer the covenant sign to his children? How does baptism fulfill the promise made to Abraham? Find answers to these questions below.

The articles on Covenant Theology appear first, and the articles on Baptism and Infant Baptism (the covenant sign) appear second.

Check HERE for a simple way to understand the basics of Covenant Theology and the covenant signs through the Bible:
