"This is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel after that time, declares the Lord. I will put my laws in their minds and write them on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people. No longer will a man teach his neighbor, or a man his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ because they will all know me, from the least of them to the greatest. For I will forgive their wickedness and will remember their sins no more." By calling this covenant "new," he has made the first one obsolete" Heb 8:10-13Now having read the New Covenant, you would think the person under the covenant is by definition "saved", in fact Calvinists waffle on this point. Infant Baptism under Calvinism is essentially meaningless, as is everything else in life insomuch as Calvinism is Fatalism, one's destiny having been determined prior to one's birth, and not having been determined by one's decisions, one's faith, nor one's works, nor one's circumstances, like infant baptism in which the child has no choice in the matter.
