  • Resumen

  • How did we arrive at NCJ? What paradigm shifts in our understanding of God’s Word did He use to reveal to me (pastor Scott) that what Jesus and His New Testament authors are teaching is not a new religion (Christianity), but a restoration of ancient Judaism according to its New Covenant expression? 1. (2006) Lord Before SaviorFully submitting/dedicating ourselves to Jesus’ Lordship by repenting – or confessing and turning from our sin through justice and just living was the pre-requisite to His deliverance (salvation) in the OT (esp. ancient Judaism) just as it is in the NT. IOW: Lordship Salvation is not simply a NT phenomenon (Heb 5:9 w/13:8)2. (2012) Gain and MaintainThe framework of salvation is the same under the New Covenant as it was under the Old Covenant (or ancient Judaism): we gain our salvation by grace through faith and maintain it through faithful obedience to God’s commands. IOW: There is no dichotomy between works and faith in salvation. 3. (2013) Marriage Covenant Theology/GospelRedemptive history is comprised of five saving covenants (Adamic, Noahic, Abrahamic, Old and New) whose makeup/nature is marital (they are betrothal – or inchoate marriage covenants), and Jesus, the covenant-making member of the Godhead, their divine Husband (Jer 31:31; Hos 2:19; 2Co 11:2). Being marital in nature explains Scripture’s soteriological framework of covenantal nomism or “gain and maintain.” In human marriages, what is gained by grace through vows of faith must be maintained by faithfulness - or the marriage is permanently forfeited in divorce (apostasy). Also similar to human marriages, our vows of faith (or faithfulness [Heb., emunah; Grk., pistus = faith/faithfulness]) to Christ is accompanied by prescribed symbols/signs (e.g., wedding rings) which not only serve as reminders of our obligation to fidelity, but possess the authority/power to ratify the covenant and dispense its blessings (e.g., now refer to each other as husband and wife; Mat 1:18-19; 1Pe 3:21). Since the New Covenant exists as a second version of the Old Covenant (the New representing Jesus’ re-marriage to a new Israel [NC Judaism] after His divorce from old and apostate Israel [OC Judaism]), there are two new covenant signs (baptism and the LT) to replace the former covenant signs (circumcision and animal sacrifices [burnt and sin offering]).4. (2014) Paedobaptism All of God’s promises to those in the Old and New Covenant find their source in the promises originally made to Abraham and his descendants (i.e., OC and NC Israel [Judaism 1.0 and 2.0]/Old and New Covenants are the descendant covs of the Abe cov). Hence the relevance of our baptism in Christ placing us in the family of Abraham (Gal 3:27-29). When God gave those promises to Abraham and his descendants, He made the special provision of automatically including their children at the moment of conception as long as the covenant sign was placed upon them by their parents shortly after birth (Gen 17:12). Babies under the NC should therefore be baptized (rather than waiting for them to be able to make a profession of faith) just as they were under the OC (Act 2:37-39). 5. (2015) Biblical Jurisprudence and Sexual EthicsJustice /righteousness (same word in Hebrew [tzedek] and Greek [dikaiosune]) is the controlling attribute in the character and actions of God (Psa 89:14, 97:2). Everything He is and does is therefore defined by justice/righteousness (e.g., His love is a just/righteous love, His hate is a just/righteous hate, etc.,). As such, every facet of OC Judaism, has this as its goal: the promotion and preservation of justice. To accomplish this mission, God established not only laws and punishment for Israel (e.g., Lev 19:31 and Deu 18:10-11 w/Lev 20:27), but also a system of justice involving judges (priests), a divine council (priests and levites), courts and a judicial process (Exo 21:23-25; Lev 24:19-20; Num 15:30-31, 35:30; Deu 16:18-20 w/17:2-13, 19:15-21; Deu 25:1; Psa 82:1; Joh 5:31, 8:16-17). The OT Prophets, Jesus and His NT authors confirmed that the same would be true under the NC (Isa 66:21; Mat 5:17-18; Mat 18:15-20; Joh 20:21-23; Rom 15:16; 1Co 6:1-4; 2Co 13:1-2; 1Ti 5:19, 21). Though at times different in application, the goal and principles remain intact (1Co 5:9-13 [Act 10:28 w/Exo 23:32-33, 34:12-16; Deu 7:1-5; Psa 82:1, 106:34-35]). This includes the goal and principles related to sex: all sexual activity is to be performed as a celebration and expression of marital fidelity (Gen 2:22-25 w/Mat 19:4-6 “one flesh” = [“flesh of my flesh” – 2Sa 19:13] = faithful/loyal/fidelity/allegiance; “let no man separate” = Let no man destroy through marital infidelity; “what God has joined together” = In covenant fidelity). Any action therefore outside of those parameters constitutes a capital crime (e.g., 1Co 5:1-8 [Deu 22:22] = All sexual activity outside of the marriage covenant is sexual immorality and equals death [OC: ...
