"one must hold to every point of doctrine in the Reformed confessions in order to be Reformed."

Hmm...let's see where this logic is leading us...
The Westminster Confession teaches:
1) Exclusive Psalmody
2) Explicitly Christian Civil Government
3) The Establishment Principle
4) Scottish Sabbatarianism
5) Papal Antichrist
6) Six Day Creation
So I guess that means that if someone does not subscribe to every one of the above points then they are "not Reformed"? That means a substantial number of members of this board are "not Reformed". Moreover, it means that most people who claim to be Reformed are "not Reformed"...maybe I am not Reformed then (as I don't hold point 5 at present), but I am not sure that I care, as I am a Christian, one who is in Union with the Risen Christ. That means a lot more to me than the label "Reformed" does.
To be perfectly truthful, I do not think posts like this help the cause of Christ in the world; does nit-picking and arguing over labels really bring any glory to God?
