The covenant of faith existed before the Mosaic covenant.
The Mosaic covenant in no way nullified the covenant of faith.
We call it 'new' even though it is the original covenant between God and man.
It is new in revelation.
1. The New Covenant (Testament) went into effect the day Christ died. Since He anticipated -- at the Last Supper -- His death, burial, and resurrection before they occurred, here is what He said [Mt 26:27,28; Mk 14:24; Lk 22:20; 1 Cor 11:25]: And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it; For this is my blood of the New Testament [Covenant], which is shed for many for the remission of sins.That's not a helpful comment! Please show us Scriptural evidence to support your claim.
Wow we actually agree on something!1. The New Covenant (Testament) went into effect the day Christ died. Since He anticipated -- at the Last Supper -- His death, burial, and resurrection before they occurred, here is what He said [Mt 26:27,28; Mk 14:24; Lk 22:20; 1 Cor 11:25]: And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it; For this is my blood of the New Testament [Covenant], which is shed for many for the remission of sins.
Just as Moses ratified the Old Covenant with the blood of sprinkling, Christ ratified the New Covenant with His own precious blood (which has been sprinkled on the Mercy Seat in the Heavenly Sanctuary). Therefore He is called the "Mediator of the New Testament (Covenant) in Hebrews 9:15.
2. Therefore Paul could freely speak of the New Covenant as applicable to believers during the Church Age, and himself as the minister of the New Testament (2 Cor 3:6): [God] Who also hath made us able ministers of the New Testament (Covenant); not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.
Within the New Covenant, we have (1) forgiveness of sins through the blood of Christ, (2) the gift of the Holy Spirit and the indwelling Spirit, (3) the New Birth, (4) new creatures or creations in Christ and (5) the Law written on hearts and minds instead of tablets of stone. We also have direct access to God through the Son and by the Holy Spirit, because Christ is the great High Priest in the heavenly Sanctuary as our Mediator and Advocate. Study the epistle to the Hebrews.
The very fact that the temple in Jerusalem is no longer there and the Levitical priesthood has been abolished should be reason enough to understand that the Old Covenant has been abolished and the New Covenant has been established by Christ Himself.
Note: The Greek word diatheke can be translated as either "testament" or "covenant". The fact that the New Testament is a part of the Bible should have been sufficient for you. But you had to come along and invent a new doctrine. So kindly revise the title of your thread and have it read as "CHRISTIANS ARE UNDER THE NEW COVENANT". But if you persist in your error after this, then be it known to all that you are a false teacher to be avoided at all costs.
Not water baptism but Spirit baptism which produces the New Birth. Then those who have been born again are baptized as believers. See Acts 10.of course the initiation ritual for the new covenant is baptism

The 'new' covenant is the covenant of faith, by the Spirit. As opposed to the old covenant, the covenant of works, by the letter of the law. Both sealed by blood. One by the blood of animals, the other by the blood of Christ—the blood of the "eternal" covenant (Hebrews 13:20, Revelation 13:8, 1 Peter 1:20).no cos the new covenant is in the blood of Jesus Christ Heb 9
What Law do you believe is written on hearts?(5) the Law written on hearts and minds instead of tablets of stone.
The Law of Love (the Ten Commandments, the two greatest commandments)What Law do you believe is written on hearts? Sincere question.
Yes. Here is the "video" of Spirit baptism FOLLOWED BY water baptism. There is no such thing as an "initiation rite".Yes water baptism. Acts 2:38 is about water baptism....Receiving the Holy Spirit is understood as a result of performing the Water Baptism. He said it right the first time...the initiation ritual for the new covenant is baptism. We have been looking around for a video of the Spirit baptism....if you have one, please send it.
While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word.
Our Covenant of sacrifice
After the priest sacrificed the bullock he then sacrificed one of the goats in the same way – the bullock and the goat were treated alike, with the blood of the goat also being sprinkled on the mercy seat. Note that these are two distinct sin-offering sacrifices – the bullock, supplied by the priest, and the goat, supplied by the people. In the antitype during this Gospel Age there are also two sin-offerings – Jesus and his Church, his Body. The bullock was sacrificed as a sin offering for the priest and his household, whereas the goat was sacrificed as a sin offering for the people. The bullock represented Jesus’ sacrifice of his own life, whereas the goat represents the sacrifice of the Church – the sacrifice of our lives. The merit of Jesus’ sacrifice has been applied to the Church, the antitypical Royal Priesthood and household of faith, and the Church must now follow Jesus’ example and sacrifice their lives also. This is the Covenant of Sacrifice that we make when we become baptised into Jesus’ death. We have had Jesus’ sacrificial merit applied to us, so that our sins are atoned for and we are justified and entitled to eternal life as perfect humans. However, we only receive this justification on condition that we covenant to sacrifice that right to life, just as our Lord Jesus sacrificed his right to eternal life as a human. In the type the sacrifice of the goat was for the people (the Israelites), and in the antitype the sacrifice of the Church’s right to human life is a sacrifice for the people - the rest of humankind.
The whole merit of Jesus’ sacrifice was applied to the Church, so the Church must sacrifice their lives in order that the merit may be returned and then applied to the rest of mankind. This is an ongoing process during the Gospel Age. At the end of the Gospel Age all of the merit of Jesus’ sacrifice will have been returned so that it can then be applied to the rest of mankind. The merit of Jesus’ sacrifice is appropriated to the Church, the elect, in order that we can have the privilege of joining our Lord Jesus as his “members”, to “become the sons of God” (John 1:12) and so that we will be entitled to be sharers in Jesus’ inheritance. As sharers of his sacrifice we enable his merit to be passed on to natural Israel and the world through the New Covenant.
Hence Paul wrote of the faithful Old Testament Israelites, “And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promise: God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect” (Hebrews 11:39-40). He is saying that the faithful Old Testament Israelites would receive a “better resurrection” (verse 35) as a result of their faithfulness, that is they would be resurrected as perfect human beings immediately, rather than being raised still imperfect and then having to be restored to perfection during Christ’s Millennial Kingdom. However, they, and the rest of mankind, will have to wait until all of the Church has completed their sacrifice before Jesus’ sacrificial merit can be applied to them and they can be resurrected.

“The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion [partnership or participation] of the blood of Christ?” (1 Corinthians 10:16).
