It was good to see the PCA General Assembly adopt a report which held the Federal Vision theology out of line with the Westminster Confession. As I watched the debate, I had the following random thoughts.
1. Where are the good old heretics like Servetus? He just marched into Geneva, was recognized and burned. Everyone knew what he was burned for because he said what he believed very clearly. Today the FV guys are almost impossible to pin down on what they believe. Do they know?
2. Why, since they don't agree with the Confession, don't they just leave WCF oriented denominations? I don't understand the desire to stay and confess something that you really don't believe.
3. I was saddened by some of the commissioners who pushed (and lost) for more time, or for including FV supporters in on the formation of a paper on FV. The reasoning was, unless we see exegesis on the issue, how will we know if they have a different view from ours? Hey! Listen up. It is called a new perspective (NPP), you know. A new perspective obviously differs from the old. Why else would you call it a new perspective? Duh! Since the old perspective was the basis for the soteriology taught by the WCF, it is kinda obvious that the new perspective is out of accord.

So a report was adopted, but the NPP and FV supporters are still going to stay? Was there any open debate where a group has decided to leave?
This is great info to know.
