Thank you for joining us for another episode of God, Law, and Liberty with David Fowler,

President of the Family Action Council of Tennessee.

Every week, we are putting culture, politics, and law on a collision

course with the truth of God's word. And now here's David.

Well thank you for joining me for today's God Law and Liberty episode and at last I am going to present my thoughts about the Gnosticism of those engaged in law and politics that I call the Neobaptists.

You may recall a couple of weeks ago. I said there were two primary groups of people that I've run into in my 30 years of engagement with politics as a legislator, as a lobbyist, and as a lawyer, the Neo Covenanters, and the Neo Baptist.

And I said, both camps were, in my opinion,

meaning their views of law were divorced from history,

which is what makes Gnosticism a heresy.

Christianity is an historical religion.

It begins with the creation of the cosmos cosmology and it goes from there through a

soteriology the knowledge or the study of salvation, what saves us in this cosmos, and in eschatology.

Where is it going, where it's ending, okay?

That's history. So when Christians begin to divorce

themselves from history, they will go wrong. And that's what I see happening in these two camps. Now if you hold a covenant theology,

don't assume that I think of you as a Neo-Coveenter or if you're of the Baptist faith

tradition don't assume that I think you are a neobaptist. If the descriptions I use happen to fit you, then yes, I would

consider you a neocovepenterntenter or a neo-Baptist. But not all who hold to covenant theology or

Baptistic theology are obviously all the same and they wouldn't fit within my categories.

So let me start out by saying I'm not thinking of a particular person here

or a particular church as I work through this matter of neocovetors and neobaptists.

But anyway, I did an episode on the neocoventers and I showed how many of those that hold to a covenant theology
