“ Two Gospels -- One way to Salvation! ” Informal Look ¶ Exodus 19:6 and you shall be to me a kingdom of priests, and a holy nation.'... ---ESV ¶ As Renald points out. Gentiles are blind and death in not worshiping the only true and living God. The Jews will reign over the world during the Millennium -- but only after they have repented of their rebellion. Jesus told his Apostles not to go to the Samaritans and Gentiles with the message about the Kingdom but only the Jews. They had to meet the spiritual requirement before the Kingdom of Heaven would come. ¶ This is completely different from the Gospel given in 1 Cor. 15:3-4 ¶ No Kingdom mentioned here! In Matthew 16, A new Gospel is being given and this was a Gospel for everyone was going to be preached not one just for the Jews. Covenant theologians deny that! Covenant types believe only of individual salvation on from Abraham on, They deny the distinction of the two Gospels. ¶ Convenant theology teaches all covenants are just phases Covenant of Grace. No new conditions can be added to a Covenant! See Gal. 3:15 Covenant theology employs a double hermaneutic Literal and allegorical. [This like mixing oil and water!]. It's an anchorless hermaneutic! This is a very serious problem with Covenant Theology. ¶ Many are amillinnial, but the Kingdom will be physical.
