the most well known form of covenant theology is associated with presbyterians (paedobaptists) and comes from the westminster confession of faith. another form is sometimes called "baptist covenant theology" or "1689 federalism", to distinguish it from "westminster federalism", and is associated with reformed baptists (credobaptists) and comes from the second london baptist confession of faith, published in 1689. the principal difference between these two variants of covenant theology is their understanding of the covenant of grace. standard westminster covenant theology sees the covenant of grace beginning with the fall in genesis 3, and continuing through the old covenant and the new covenant, under the same "substance" but different "administrations". the covenant of grace, the old covenant, and the new covenant then, all have the same substance though only differ in the fact that the old covenant and the new covenant constitute two separate administrations of that single substance. covenant theology under the second london baptist confession, in contrast, also sees the covenant of grace as beginning with the fall in genesis 3, and continuing through the old covenant and the new covenant. but it sees the substance of the covenant of grace as being the same as the new covenant, though not the old covenant. the covenant of grace, then, is the same thing as the new covenant. as such, the covenant of grace coexists with the old covenant though is not the old covenant. instead, under the old covenant it is a series of promises that point towards the new covenant, and won't be realized until that point.
