P.S. I vote that Ron (mlqurgw) be granted a special dispensation as a non-adherant member. SR wouldn't be the same without his perspective on things.

 

[cygnusx1]

Signed up.

Adhere to WCF with reservations relating to sacrament of Communion and Sabbath-keeping.

Brad

that is fine given the WCF stance on what is and is not binding .......
I mean no creed is equal to scripture , we are prots right .

VI. The whole counsel of God concerning all things necessary for His own glory, man's salvation, faith and life, is either expressly set down in Scripture, or by good and necessary consequence may be deduced from Scripture: unto which nothing at any time is to be added, whether by new revelations of the Spirit, or traditions of men.

X. The supreme judge by which all controversies of religion are to be determined, and all decrees of councils, opinions of ancient writers, doctrines of men, and private spirits, are to be examined, and in whose sentence we are to rest, can be no other but the Holy Spirit speaking in the Scripture.

an interesting quote from one who has studied THE WCF ;

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]1. Claim. Limited atonement in the Confession is Part of the oppressive legalism of federal theology.[/FONT]​

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]J.B. Torrance has difficulties with Christ's atonement being for the elect alone. He claims it is to deny the incarnational oneness which Christ has with all men as Head of all creation and to prevent saying to each and all "Christ died for you."[/FONT]​

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Leaving aside the Scripturalness or otherwise of the last expression, it would be a heavy burden indeed if we could not integrate our humanity and our evangelism. But again, the problem is Torrance's Barthianism, which he cannot possibly read out of the Confession, but which he endeavours to read back into Calvin, so appearing to be a Reformed theologian when he rejects the maturest statement of the Reformed faith.[/FONT]​

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Even while we affirm that Christ is Head over all things we must add "for the church" (Eph. 1:22). Further, what we have come to term common grace is a reality, while orthodox Calvinism works in practice so far as evangelistic thrust and social transformation is concerned, particularly Scottish evangelical Calvinism. At least Torrance admits that the Confession teaches Christ's atonement was definite.[/FONT]​
