I happen to agree with this statement.  But then again, I'm sure that
surprises no one.  :-)

Baptists that are not RB's have done a very, very poor job (if at all) of
explaining just *how* it is that the soteriology is the same for both
Abraham and Paul.  Nor have they satisfactorily explained *how* Genesis 3:15
is not a covenant when "I will" language in the canon almost always, if not
always, involves some kind of covenant making on God's part (i.e. just
because the text doesn't say "covenant" does not mean that there are
sufficient grounds to deny a covenant is "in the making").
