Confessional Revision: Is It Really Possible? Okay, I know that you can revise a confession of faith, but I tend to get the impression that once you go down a revisionist road then the whole content of the WCF (for instance) is up in the air.
Currently, I only have one exception (that I know of) to the Westminster Standards - that of 25:6 were it affirms that the papacy is in the church, and that the papacy is the man of sin. However, I would be reluctant to call for this to be revised, because once you start, where do you stop?
Consequently, if I was elected to office I would decline, because I would not swear to something with crossed fingers.
