Therein lies a problem for some people. We must remember that there are areas of doctrine that Christians are free to disagree over. Some believe that the WCF forces one to adhere to certain beliefs that Christians are free to disagree over (e.g.the Pope being the Antichrist). Hence, the WCF potentially splits up believers who should be publicly unified (as an expression of their unity in Christ). It can be a pity that when believers have so much of the reformed faith in common their confession forces them to be apart institutionally.

Blessings.
