The New Covenant brought by Jesus is about rich Holy Spirit experience and the liberty of believers, yes?
Here are a lot of related questions in my mind, which I can't get to the bottom of:
1. If a church club has its own "covenant", does that take this to the "next level"? Those I heard of, who seemed to be like this, couldn't explain it well, IMO.
2. Is baptism a vow? And is this different from an oath?
3. What is an oath (outside of simple constitutional ones) and what happens if one wants to break it? Do not intense and unnecessary oaths (in fraternities for example) distort the personality, making a person unsuitable for responsibility-bearing?
I'd value insights and observations from a wide range of traditions / "communions" / churchmanship please.
