Covenantal Reception of God’s Word
There are good biblical reasons to think that the testimonium would also result in a corporate, or covenantal, reception of God’s Word. By this we mean not that the church would have absolute unity regarding the canon—there would still be portions or subgroups with differing opinions—but that the church as a whole, both in the present and throughout the ages, would experience predominant unity.
