| We are supposed to use these Confessions as a basis for our unity and discussions. Because they are not the Bible they may not bind our consciences directly. And because there are differences in them, we have points of disagreement. But there is much unanimity in them, and they state generally what it is we think the Bible teaches.
We tell people here: don't advocate for things here on the PB that go CONTRARY to the articles we professed to hold in common when we joined the board. So, a "four-point calvinist", if he were allowed into membership in the first place, shouldn't try to argue for that position here. It is outside of the bounds of our conversation. There are other boards, other venues to try to convince people of that position.
