I'm not a pastor nor am I elder-material, however from what I can tell, NPP, the parent of FV, questions the way certain statements of Paul the Apostle (i.e.Scripture) has been exegeted for centuries. The Confessions are a certain interpretation of Scripture based on scholarship. The NPP is new and trying to make us think it's the original. It's one interpretation of Scripture v. another, not Confessions v. Scripture, IMHO. I probably wouldn't have engaged him too much, either. Leave him to experts, that would be my thought.
