Wow, I hadn't noticed this specifically. The only thing I can imagine that my Baptist forbears were saying is that all blessing from God come through the cross of Christ. No angel is, by nature, eternal and deserving of eternal life. I don't think the LBC is saying the angels were "atoned for" by the cross of Christ, but that, they depend on the cross of Christ for their very existence. As such, their eternal existence is dependent on the cross of Christ as well.

Now, after defending their statement, I would rather see the WCF statement any day because it avoids the questions.
