Ha, sorry for jumping right on you with your 3 posts on the PB.
WELCOME BROTHER! Great to have you here.
The point I am trying to make is that any altered form of the Westminster besides the original would make #2 in the poll above to be the logical choice. And the PCA and OPC I think hold to revised versions.
Again, welcome, God bless and enjoy the banter!
Thankyou.
I am still trying to work out in my mind the two poll choices now that we've had a give and take about this actually.
Interesting thread.
Here's an update for you my brother. The quote is from the PCA website concerning the WCF.....

Interesting thread.
Related questions might be:
Do we consider the Confessions to be functionally infallible?
and,
Who is in charge and submits to whom, the Church or the Confession (which, after all, was written by the Church)....
Excellent question.
I don't like to label anything written by man as "infallible" so I must think a bit on the functionally part.
The Church is in charge with Christ as it's head as far as I am concerned. If the Confession was in charge then the church AND all laypersons must submit to it....and as far as I know in the PCA, no lay-person at all needs to profess adherance to the WCF in any of it's forms.
So your answer seems to be #2 in the poll like me.
