| The reformed faith has been set forth
through the centuries by a series of confessional documents. I do not think
we can find a place where any of the reformed confessions contradict each
other in an essential doctrine. I like the layout of the Westminster
Confession of Faith , though like all other confessions it has shortcomings
in places. It does however provide the platform to create a series of truly
reformed lessons of essential reformed doctrine. I have previously written a
series of lessons based on the 2nd Helvetic Confession of Faith. This time I
have chosen the Westminster but have gone a step further, the text is not of
any particular version of the Westminster Confession of Faith but my own
paraphrase of the same. In essence this will then create a new series of
reformed lessons on doctrine that all of the reformed agree upon without
taking away from the particular confession(s) their denomination subscribes
to. Therefore except for orderliness where I have left the Westminster
headings in place and their paragraph structure and deal with things in this
sequence this is a new reformed study of essential doctrine not another
confession. |
