Covenantalism is a prominent theological system that is founded on a false theological presupposition. As is usual of false systems, covenantalism manufactures a “universal principle” based on a limited consideration of only a portion of Scripture, and then interprets Scripture in light of that principle – often ignoring vast portions of Scripture that expose their error. In some regards, this tendency is akin to the way Arminians defend their false view of salvation and import their false presupposition of free will into key texts. Major features of covenantalism are falsely deduced from an assumed hypothesis of the universality of rituals as “signs and seals.” Oddly, the evolution of such signs and seals actually shows more affinity to some brands of dispensationalism, i.e. as an evolving system of varying temporary signs and seals that give way in time to newer signs and seals of (hypothetical) “salvation” for the partakers thereof. One particular aspect of this is how the literal Israel is really not elect but a reprobate that metamorphoses into the Body of Christ, and then Scriptures pertaining to Israel are distorted to apply to the Body (“spiritual” Israel). This is a feature not unlike Scoffield dispensationalism’s “period of testing/failure” or the Arminian Plan-A, Plan-B approach to prophecy, or even worse that the meaning of Scripture has changed over time.</div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="id89.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Chronology of Acts">Chronology of Acts</A>.  Graphic illustration of the timeline of the book of Acts.  Displays significant events and date of the Pauline epistles.</div> <bR> <bR> <div>  </div> </td> </tr></table></body>
