Now, when Calvin and other Reformers proposed a new interpretation of the Creed that retained the form of the Creed but denied its substance (that Christ actually did descend into hell), the Concordists could have papered over the difference (as Calvin did) in order to maintain a false sense of unity. Instead the Concordists publicly refuted this misinterpretation of 1 Peter 3:19 in a binding confession.


It appears the Concordists are the ones misinterpreting 1 Peter 3:19 in their binding confession.

The descension into hell as it occurs in the Apostles’ Creed signifies that on the cross Christ suffered “inexpressible anguish, pains, terrors, and hellish agonies.” This is Calvin’s explanation of the article, and this interpretation was generally adopted by the Reformed Churches.

The measure of suffering, and of obedience, is filled. All that was to be borne of the wrath of God against the sin of all the elect, had been endured even to the end. Nothing, emphatically nothing, remains to procure for us eternal righteousness and life. The Son of God had tasted all there is to be tasted in the agony of death as the expression of God’s just wrath. That is the meaning of the descension into hell.
