By the way, I hold to the 1689. I do not do theology without a Confessional mooring.
However, I would oppose a movement back towards Confessionalism as a whole.
I think fresh doctrinal statements and confessions of faith that have been updated are a good idea if too much time has passed. For instance, I favor the 1788 revision of the WCF over the original because I believe that every theologian is shaped by his time to some degree and one needs to re-analyze and critique even our confessions.
