This is why I appreciate Jacques Ellul: "On the one hand, he was unveiling a dark vision of technological totalitarianism that pulls every facet of Western culture (and every person) into its vortex; on the other hand, he was presenting a theological vision where human freedom and responsibility could lead to a hopeful future." Ted Lewis, "Foreword," to Jacques Ellul et al., Presence in the Modern World: A New Translation (Eugene, Oregon: Cascade Books, 2016).
the worst guest I have ever heard on your podcast; isn't even capable of a conversation.

Baptism is useful in drawing out this cross-covenant applicability of the sacramental signs because it is explicitly associated by Scripture with Noah and the Ark, with the Mosaic Covenant, and with the New Covenant. The lesson we ought to learn is that this biblical view of the covenants and their signs, applies not just to baptism, but to all the signs/sacraments of the covenants/promises of the Covenant/Promise.
