Comparing the 1689 LBC with the WCF:

1689 LBC
Quote:
3. By the decree of God, for the manifestation of his glory, some men and angels are predestinated, or foreordained to eternal life through Jesus Christ, to the praise of his glorious grace; others being left to act in their sin to their just condemnation, to the praise of his glorious justice.
WCF
Quote:
III. By the decree of God, for the manifestation of His glory, some men and angels are predestinated unto everlasting life; and others foreordained to everlasting death.
The WCF omits the inference of an atonement for angels. Unless someone can provide me with a cogent argument for the LBC's position on God's Decree, I believe the WCF is more accurate in this instance.
