I just came from another thread, "Westminster's Warrior Children" - see Scott Clark's post on confessionalism there.
The ultimate authority - what binds the Christian - is Scripture. Insofar as a creed or confession is a summary of Scripture (whether limited, as a creed, or more comprehensive, as say the Westminster or Three Forms of Unity), men would be foolish not to heed such as a secondary standard. Yes, it falls under 'tradition,' but if the tradition is Biblical, there should be nothing wrong with holding to it, "always reforming".
