Just how much continuity between the Old and New Covenants? How new is the new Covenant?

Not being a Reformed Baptist, I'm thinking they agree with the Reformed on Covenant Theology. I thought the main disagreement would be on baptism. They do not baptize infants.

My understanding is that that would be correct. Other differences, such as baptism, flow from that starting point. Reformed Baptist Seminary ( https://rbseminary.org/) has available for viewing, a series of lectures on Creeds and Confessions, in which this is explained.

We are Baptist, yes. The term 'reformed' seems to carry many connotations, so it is difficult to say without an actual definition.

Do you agree with reformed view on salvation proper, and how do you view Confessions of Faith?

You see, you have used that word again. Please define, precisely, "reformed view" of salvation.

I get the feeling you know what Reformed confessions like the LBCF 1689 and the WCF teach about salvation. You just want JesusFan to tell you. Am I correct?

Tom Exactly. Simple answer would be the 5 Doctrines of grace! Are you referring to the "5 Solas"? I suspect that he is referring to the five points of Calvinism, also called the doctrine of Sovereign Grace. If so, amen!

One other major difference would be church polity, e.g., local church independence vs. a judicial hierarchy. Some Calvinistic Baptists also differ in the makeup of officers in the local church, e.g., one "Pastor/Elder" and Deacons vs. the plurality of Elders and Deacons. And among the latter, many wrongly, IMHO, bifurcate the Eldership into two separate groups; teaching Elders and ruling Elders.
