They held that all who were baptized, not only the elect, were enrolled in the Covenant and that salvation was given only to those who fulfilled its conditions-repentance, faith, and obedience. Though they did not believe that obedience earned salvation, their contractual understanding of salvation led them to focus Christianity on morality and duty, a view of Christianity which dominated the Church of England from the Restoration to the Evangelical Revival of the eighteenth century. |
