Modernized language in Confessions?

[Polanus1561]

I do not know how things are in OPC/URCNA/PCA, but are there churches who use the ESV but yet retain 'old english confessions'? Or how about KJV using churches who use 'modern english confessions?

How does your church decide on whether to go the traditional or modern route for language in confessions?

A related question - Does anyone know if any denomination has officially (constitutionally) adopted a modern language version of the Westminster Confession? Last I heard they were all still unofficial.

The EPC has: https://www.epc.org/wcf
(though this site unfortunately misstates that the Confession adopted the EPC, rather than the other way around)

I am generally opposed to things like "updated language" because, strangely, updated language seems to be horse-tied to updated ideas, which aren't always good....

Has there been then a contemporary update to the 1689 Baptist Confession of faith . and have churches adopted it?
