Matthew 20:22-23, Mark 10:38-39... "Can you drink from the cup I am about to drink, or be baptized with the baptism that I am (or about to be) baptized with...? You know not what you ask for...

The Blood in the cup is the same as the Baptism by fire or Holy Spirit, drinking it means committing to undergo the process, that leads to a full knowledge or disclosure of sin, the same thing the law does, and the end of the law is that, you get a full knowledge and full disclosure, of not only the breadth, but also the depths of sin... So that, you'l find it nigh inescapable, which is where your supposed to get to the end of the law, or fully eating the entire fruit from from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil (or knowledge of sin) or are being baptized by fire or Holy Spirit, or have drank Jesus blood from the cup, being a commitment to this process, but the full knowledge of sin, and realizing that you cannot escape it after that, is only the beginning, cause your about to be born again, and have a share in the new covenant, that comes after the law, and after the cross, that is, the resurrection...

From dying to self, and have now become new... Now follow and learn about the new covenant and what it has to say about what seems to be the inescapability of sin and sinning, and walk in it/that...

God Bless!

I've not known anyone with this full knowledge.

OP: Q1??..."the New Covenant"...

A1:
OT:
Discipline for Disobedience
...Part of the OT "old covenants" with God's Chosen People under the Mosaic Law...Noah + Abraham + David + "Israel" + MORE

Deuteronomy 30:19
I call heaven and earth to witness against you today, that I have set before you life and death,
the blessing and the curse.
So choose life in order that you may live,
you and your descendants,

But read on through the NT:

Jesus the God-Man fulfilled the Mosaic "Law" in his coming and ministry. He clarified, corrected, added, subtracted,...etc

Matthew 5:17
“Do not think that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I did not come to abolish but to FULFILL.

Mark 1:15..(Jesus) and saying,
“The time (prophecy) is FULFILLED,
and the "kingdom of God" (Jesus) is "at hand";(NOW!)
repent (turn toward God) AND believe in the "gospel".”
("gospedl"= GOOD NEWS: The Divine Messiah has come down from heaven to save Mankind)

Luke 4:21..And He began to say to them (IN TEMPLE), “Today this Scripture has been FULFILLED in your hearing.”
17 And the book of the prophet Isaiah was handed to Him. And He opened the book and found the place where it was written,
18-19
“The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me,
Because He anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor.He has sent Me to proclaim release to the captives,And recovery of sight to the blind,
To set free those who are oppressed,
To proclaim the favorable year of the Lord.”

Luke 24:44...Post-resurrection Jesus to His closest followers...Now He said to them,
“These are My words which I spoke to you while I was still with you, that all things which are written about Me in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms must be FULFILLED.”

The NEW Covenant!..."substitutionary atonement"

Matthew 26:28
for this is My blood of the (NEW) covenant, which is poured out FOR many FOR forgiveness of sins.
26 While they were eating, Jesus took some bread, and after a blessing, He broke it and gave it to the disciples, and said, “Take, eat; this is (represents) My body.”

Mark 14:24
And He said to them, “This is My blood of the (NEW) covenant, which is poured out FOR many.
22 While they were eating, He took some bread, and after a blessing He broke it, and gave it to them,
and said, “Take it; this is (represents) My body.”

Luke 22:20
And in the same way He took the cup after they had eaten, saying,
“This cup which is poured out FOR you is the NEW covenant IN My blood.

2 Corinthians 5:17
Therefore if anyone is IN Christ, he is a new creature;
the old things passed away; behold, new things have come.

God disciplines and trains those whom he loves...just like my earthly father.

ATONEMENT ~= RECONCILIATION (all NASB)

Romans 5:10
For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God THROUGH the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall (certain to) be saved (SANCTIFIED) by His life.

2 Corinthians 5:18
Now all these things are from God,
who reconciled us to Himself THROUGH Christ and
gave us the ministry of reconciliation,

Colossians 1:22
yet He has now reconciled you in His fleshly body through death, in order to present you before Him holy and blameless and beyond reproach—

SUBSTITUTION ~ Jesus died FOR you..in your place

1 Peter 2:24
and He Himself bore our sins in His body on the cross,
so that we might die to sin and live to righteousness;
for by His wounds you were healed.

1 Peter 2
18 For Christ also died FOR sins once FOR all,
the just (Jesus) FOR the unjust (Man),
so that He might bring us to God, (RECONCILIATION)
having been put to death in the flesh, (CRUCIFIXION)
but made alive in the spirit; (RESURRECTION + APPEARANCES + ASCENSION)

Romans 5:6,8
For while we were still helpless, at the right time Christ died FOR the ungodly....
But God demonstrates His own love toward us,
in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died FOR us.

1 Corinthians 15:3
For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died FOR our sins according to the Scriptures,

2 Corinthians 5:21...IMPUTED RIGHTEOUNESS
He made Him who knew no sin to be sin ON OUR BEHALF, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.

Colossians 2:14
having canceled out the "certificate of deb"t consisting of decrees against us, which was hostile to us;
and He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross.

I think it depends whether Man's SPIRIT is a BELIEVER or an UN-BELIEVER! BUT WHEN?? My guess: during the first 3.5 years of the Tribulation in Matthew 14. BUT only God the Father knows beginning of the TIME of that era.

2 Corinthians 4:4
The god of this age (devil) has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel that displays the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.

Joel 2:28 (ALL NASB)[ The Promise of the Spirit ]
“It will come about after this That I will pour out My (God the Holy) Spirit on all mankind;
And your sons and daughters will prophesy,
Your old men will dream dreams,
Your young men will see visions.

Acts 2:17
‘And it shall be in the last days,’
God says,
‘That I will pour forth of My Spirit on all mankind;
And your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
And your young men shall see visions,
And your old men shall dream dreams;

We are NOT "in the last days". We are in "birth pangs" .

Matthew 24...Jesus' prophecy and SIGNS of the "end of the (CHURCH) age" of Grace

QUESTIONS:
3 As He (Jesus) was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the DISCIPLES came to Him privately, saying,
“Tell us, (prophesy!)
1. WHEN will these THINGS happen, and
2. what will be the SIGN(s) of "Your (Second) COMING", and
3. (what will be the SIGN(s)) of "the end of the (Church) age"?”

ANSWERS:
1. v. 36 "But of that day and hour no one knows, (WHEN tribulations / things BEGIN)
not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone.
3.. v. 2-28...THINGS / SIGNS of .."birth pangs"...Tribulation...Great Tribulation...to the brink...THEN
2. v. 29-31... Jesus' Glorious Return from Heaven!

"BIRTH PANGS" = NOW!

4 And Jesus answered and said to them,
“See to it that no one misleads you.
5 For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ (a savior)
and will mislead many. (Believers AND UnBelievers?)
You will be hearing of:
1. wars and rumors of wars.
See that you are not frightened, for those things must take place, but that is not yet the end. (of tribulation)
For:
2. nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom,
and in various places there will be:
3. famines and
4. earthquakes.
But all these things (signs) are merely "the beginning of "birth pangs"".

Like a woman in labor, these "birth pangs". are rapidly increasing in INTENSITY and FREQUENCY..NOW!
