I am grateful for the point made about revisions to the WCF and testimonies which negate portions of the WCF (and the subsequent remarks about the magistrate too), although I know nothing about the author or the context of the comments.
It is wearisome to have to affirm often that one holds to the "original" WCF, as if the original is a sidebar to the repeated revisions. The Savoy, the LBCF, the 1788, 1903 and numerous other revisions all take the original WCF as their starting point and then proceed to go off in their own theological directions. Many people do not know that there is an original WCF that looks quite different in significant respects from the WCF to which they or their denomination adhere. In the interests of "precisionism," it would be helpful in debates and discussions when one states their confessional loyalty which particular revision of the original they are really holding to.
The PB
Reformed Confessions link does not appear to be working at the moment, but in the thread about it I pointed out that the original WCF was not included in the PB's list of standards in that particular link.
Confessional Standards on PB
It is my own wish that people would understand and correctly refer to the confessions to which they adhere or discuss. It would save a lot of time and energy in discussions that arise. We (particularly here on a forum which includes a wide range of ecclesiastical affiliations from Presbyterian to Baptist to Lutheran to Anglican to independent / non-affiliated) should all strive to know what we believe and what others believe, seeking above all to be in accord with what the Scriptures themselves teach.
