Doesn't the Testimony deal with Christian aberrations?

The early creeds define catholic Christianity and counter non Christian religions. A new confession could only be partisan.

If I have understood you correctly, I think the answer is yes. Our's deals with stuff like social covenanting etc. And expands on stuff like paedo-baptism, exlcusive psalmody, non-use of instruments etc.
