Cincy Reformed Podcast

In this new series, Pastors Zac and Brandon answer objections to Infant Baptism. This episode explores the question: who is a member of the New Covenant? Is it only those who make a credible profession, or is it believers along with their children? Does Jeremiah 31 teach that only the regenerate will be New Covenant members? Furthermore, does Hebrews 10:29 teach us that the New Covenant is "mixed" - that is, does it include, as previous covenants have, those who are "in the covenant but not of the covenant" (see: Herman Bavinck, Reformed Dogmatics, 3:232)?
