The word "also" might be taken to mean that I don't believe the confession can be inerrant. To clarify, I believe it can be propositionally inerrant, and I think if a person adopts a "confession" he is declaring it to be true.
Exactly. So the "No Creed but Christ" crowd proudly disdain those that believe a "man-made Confession" but then have inerrant confidence in their own opinions about what the Scriptures teach!
