I agree, Wayne. One must be careful not to use that reasoning to undermine the unity that the Confessions represent, using their inferiority to Scripture as a ground to individualize them to each person's interpretation. They are the Church's credo as a whole, and as such also for each member.

Our church asks each member to confess, to continue in, and to submit to the "true and complete doctrine of salvation" which is found in the Old and New Testaments, summarized in the Confessions, and taught here in this Christian church.

Things like Theonomy or particular millennial views are not taught there, but may be held as personal views within that boundary. As such they should never be confused with confessed doctrine.
