Other positions on Covenant of Redemption
Implicit-Affirmed WCF
The Standards affirm the substance of the pactum salutis — God's choosing of Christ as Mediator (WCF VIII.1) and the covenant of grace made with Christ as the second Adam (LC Q. 31) — without the developed apparatus of Cocceius or Witsius.
Explicit-Developed
A distinct eternal covenant between the Father and the Son, fully developed as a third covenant alongside works and grace — the Cocceian-Witsian elaboration.
