“So to summarize: Most Covenant Theologians believe that the New Covenant is really the Old Covenant updated; and all Covenant Theologians believe that the church replaces Israel in fulfillment of the New Covenant.” (Volume 18, Number 2, Page 189)
“From the Dispensational perspective, a fuller explanation of the New Covenant as taught in Scripture might add something like this: ‘This Covenant, then, has to do with the regeneration, forgiveness, and justification of Israel, the outpouring of the Holy Spirit with His subsequent ministries, Israel’s regathering and restoration to the place of blessing, all founded on the blood of Christ.’” (Volume 18, Number 2, Page 192)
“The provisions of the New Covenant include a new heart (Ezek 11:19–20); permanent forgiveness of sins (Jer 33:8); the permanent indwelling of the Holy Spirit in all believers (Ezek 36:27); the law inside of a believer (Jer 31:33); a consummation of Israel’s relationship with God (Jer 31:33); physical blessings on Israel consisting of gathering of the scattered Israelites to the land, rebuilding of the cities, productivity of the land, increase in herds and flocks, rest, peace, and expressions of joy.” (Volume 18, Number 2, Page 185)
“Instead, NCT stresses discontinuity as the defining characteristic of a covenant because of the biblical contrast of the Old and New Covenants, and follows a redemption, fulfillment, and kingdom hermeneutic rather that a literal, normal, or plain hermeneutic.” (Volume 18, Number 2, Page 163)
“indicating that the death of Christ marked the inauguration of the New Covenant” (Volume 18, Number 2, Page 180)
