The Belgic Confession is awesome

I totally agree. I think the different emphases between the Belgic and the WCF really helped me to understand some of the more difficult areas of Reformed theology.

Good Calvinists just read the WCF.

Good Calvinists can discern the spirit of Christ in other documents.

I like the plain language and style of argument. My favorite part is:

So then, we do good works, but nor for merit-- for what would we merit? Rather, we are indebted to God for the good works we do, and not he to us, since it is he who "works in us both to will and do according to his good pleasure" ^60-- thus keeping in mind what is written: "When you have done all that is commanded you, then you shall say, 'We are unworthy servants; we have done what it was our duty to do.' "^60

What a sad state of affairs is the mind of a man who believes in merit of works.

It is wonderful - I purchased the NIV Reformation Bible simply because it had this and other confessions included. I've truly enjoyed reading and rereading the various confessions and catechisms.

I LOVE the Belgic Confession. It's the only full size confession I've read in its entirety. I was unable to find anything I could disagree with (except infant baptism, which I wouldn't say I disagree with, I'd say I'm unsure about it).
