Here was the quote I was referring to:
Abu Bakr, one of Muhammad’s closest friends and the first Muslim leader after Muhammad’s death, was afraid for his own eternal destiny?
“Although he had such a faith, which was too great to suffice all the inhabitants of the earth, he was afraid that his heart might go astray. So, he used to utter, while weeping: ‘Would that I have been a bitten tree!’ Whenever he was reminded of his position in Allah’s sight, he would say: ‘By Allah! I would not rest assured and feel safe from the deception of Allah (la amanu limakr Allah), even if I had one foot in paradise.’” (Khalid Muhammad Khalid, Successors of the Messenger, translated by Muhammad Mahdi al-Sharif [Dar al-Kotob al-Ilmiyah, Beirut Lebanon, 2005], Book One: Abu Bakr Has Come, p. 99; bold and italic emphasis ours)

What a great grace assurance is for the Christian!
Ah, the phrases I was looking for were, “substance/administration” or “one covenant under two administrations” as opposed to “revealed/concluded” or the “promise/fulfillment” view. This may help http://confessingbaptist.com/1689-federalism-charts-charts-charts/
Oh I said that late… ha, I should listen to the entire cast before commenting next time. 😀
Last link from me, here is where I specifically asked Sam Renihan on whether the 1689 allows different views of Covenant Theology http://confessingbaptist.com/podcast018/
Yeah, sorry. I wasn’t able to post this until right before I left for work this morning, and I was still a couple minutes late to work. Editing the audio while searching for specific things to edit out can be difficult. Anyway, I don’t think anything you said was particularly questionable. JD and I on the other hand should probably repent of our ignorance. 🙂
Ha, no, your editing was fine… it was just my 2nd comment above I answered later, I just forgot the term. Covenant Theology is a big big topic with lots of tracks to go down and discover… even though it is hard I think it is worth it. I’m pressing on in a fuller understanding of it too!
