In confirmation of this conclusion we may recall that John the Baptist analyzed the work of the coming One as a baptism of judgment in the Holy Spirit and fire. Christ so baptized the Mosaic covenant community and he so baptizes the congregation of the New Covenant. Pentecost belongs to both the old and new orders. It was the beginning of the messianic ordeal visited on the Mosaic community. Those who received that baptism of Pentecost emerged vindicated as the people of the New Covenant, the inheritors of the kingdom. Pentecost was thus a baptismal ordeal in Spirit and fire in which redemptive covenant realized its proper end.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Meredith Kline" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/meredith-kline/we-are-bound-to-conclude-therefore-that-the-newness-of-the-new/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/30d/meredith-kline-68276_covenant-theology_we-are-bound-to-conclude-therefore-that_2568224.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/30d/meredith-kline-68276_covenant-theology_we-are-bound-to-conclude-therefore-that_2568224.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/30d/meredith-kline-68276_covenant-theology_we-are-bound-to-conclude-therefore-that_2568224.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“We are bound to conclude, therefore, that the newness of the New Covenant cannot involve the elimination of…” — Meredith Kline", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 3, "item": { "@type": "Quotation", "text": "“But if the distinctiveness of the New Covenant is that of consummation, if when it abrogates it consummates, then its very discontinuity is expressive of its profound, organic unity with the Old Covenant.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Meredith Kline" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/meredith-kline/but-if-the-distinctiveness-of-the-new-covenant-is-that-of/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/a9f/meredith-kline-68276_consummation_but-if-the-distinctiveness-of-the-new-co_3188300.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/a9f/meredith-kline-68276_consummation_but-if-the-distinctiveness-of-the-new-co_3188300.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/a9f/meredith-kline-68276_consummation_but-if-the-distinctiveness-of-the-new-co_3188300.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“But if the distinctiveness of the New Covenant is that of consummation, if when it abrogates it consummates…” — Meredith Kline", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 4, "item": { "@type": "Quotation", "text": "“Further, any exclusivistic claims for the sole propriety of some one mode of administering baptism are gratuitous.
