A covenant community refers to a religious community. People who are part of the covenant bind themselves to each other via a solemn agreement referred to as a covenant. The group provides support and encouragement.

Did the Puritans baptized infants?

Yes, in general Puritan groups did baptize infants under the assumption that early baptism was a "half-way covenant" with God that included the child in the Faith community much the same way Circumcision was a mark of community membership in the Old Testament. Baptism of an infant was not considered a final seal of salvation however, as each individual was expected to have a later "conversion experience" that would bring them into a personal covenant with Christ in addition to the community covenant that took place at Baptism.


What is Covenant Theology?

Covenant Theology is based on the several Covenants between God and humans recorded in Scripture. Covenant Theology differs from other schools of Christian theology by placing emphasis on the community rather than on individual salvation. Churches in the Covenant Theology tradition practice infant baptism based on God's Covenant given to families, respecting the promise of salvation in accordance to Acts 16: 25-34, "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household."
