FYI, there is not a dimes worth of difference between the Westminster Standards and the 3FU. I would suggest you get a copy of each and compare.

Oh right - of course - I fully understand this and expect the position of this board to be confessional.
My question is whether or not some of the above quotes are contrary to the Reformed confessions. I'm not questioning the validity of the Reformed confessions themselves. For example, I would expect that many would see Calvin's support of Private Confession and Absolution to be contrary to the reformed confessions.
As for the similarity between the Westminster STandards and the 3FU - I'm quite familiar with both. I guess I see greater distinctions between what the Westminister Divines drafted and what Ursinus wrote in the Heidelberg Catechism. Then again, they had different backgrounds and were operating in different political environments.
