Consequently, the denial of literal 6 day creation is unconfessional. It will take a lot to shift me from this position, if the six days of Genesis 1 does not refer to six literal days, then I am not sure that I understand anything.

First, I agree that *some* (read
minority) were not 6/24.
However, this is the same line of reasoning that FVers use to justify their position as being confessional.
"Well, its broad enough to mean that."
Several at the confession didn't believe in the imputation of Christ's righteousness. Does that mean that denying the imputation is confessional?
