The Highway Forums General Discussion Theology Discussion Forum World Reformed Fellowship Network Statement of Faith

Agree.

But what about that specific article? I looked through the list of denominations that are part of the WRF and I've seen that our denomination is also listed. Now, it is said explicitly before the statement of faith is given that the intention of this statement of faith is not meant to replace other confessions, but can one reconcile this article, for example, with the Three Forms of Unity?

Perhaps another relevant question here is: What are the implications of a statement of faith in organizations such as the WRF? Looking through the list of member denominations etc, although called reformed, the WRF nevertheless seems to be some kind of "pot pourri". Is it correct in such a case to have a statement of faith that simply tries to include all possible views and opinions? The PC(USA) eg. is also listed as a member as well as the Dutch Reformed Church (South Africa) where in the latter denomination there is a very strong group in favour of allowing confessing homosexuals (men and women) to be ordained in all church offices. Seems to me that being a member, a denomination or individual to some extent agrees with the statement of faith.
