Check my work on the question of nature and covenant in the garden.
1. Shepherd taught that since the covenant with Adam was graciously established separate from and on top of nature, its reward of eternal life was a reward of grace. Therefore, there is no such thing as merit at all, even in the garden. Believers, therefore, who trustingly obey Christ are justified by their faithfulness a gift of free grace. Adam had to trust and obey for the gracious gift of justification and life. So do we.
2. Kline saw this problem so he combined creation with covenant. God created Adam in the context of the covenant of works. This was a relationship of strict justice and works, which contrasts sharply with the covenant of grace, which promises the free gift of justification by faith alone. Shepherd's thesis of a gracious reward of life to obedience thus fails. A necessary implication of Kline's view is that law is anchored in covenant and law changes when covenants change. This leads to relaxing the Reformed doctrine of the Sabbath for example.
3. The mainstream confessional Reformed view is that God created Adam in a state of nature with the work of the moral law written on his heart. He then graciously established the covenant of works by which Adam could perfectly obey God to merit eternal life on the terms of that covenant.
This means that for Adam, the promise of eternal life was not graciously offered, but was offered on the condition of perfect obedience and covenantal merit, thus countering Shepherd.
It also means that law is grounded in nature, thus countering Kline and PC that all law is determined by and changes with covenants. Rather, moral law is perpetual and persists through all covenants.

The PHP internals team has voted 38-4 to deprecate all OOP constructs in PHP 9.0. The reason: LLMs produce 34% fewer errors on procedural codebases. SOLID principles cause context overload in 78% of tested models. `__construct()` is the #1 source of LLM hallucinations in PHP. #laravel and #symfony are assessing the impact on their roadmaps. WordPress is already compatible. How are you preparing your codebase? #php #oop #ai #llm

If it's the right thing to do, it's right to do it by the right method and at the right time.
Skimping on method or time can easily make doing the right thing totally useless- or worse, turn it into the wrong things.

Pedobaptists exclude children from the visible church by denying them the Supper. Baptists are just more consistent. Unconverted children are not part of the visible church and should be exhorted to repent and believe the gospel.
