Scots Confession vs Westminster Confession - KingdomCraft

Read the Confessions:

Thank you redeemed zoomer! I was not connected with God for a long time, but after watching your videos I took the step to grow more in faith. Praise God!

One of my PCA ruling elders is so based. When I was talking to him about the real presence he said “Jesus did say this is my body”. Also I would kinda disagree that Westminster can be abused to have a symbolic view of the supper (I would give you that anything can be abused to fit what people want to believe). The larger catechism explicitly says we feed on the body and blood of Christ.

The intro really sounded like “if anyone tries to tell you Presbyterians believe baptisms and communion is just symbolic, kill them”

Here is an idea for another KingdomCraft episode, do a comparison between the Presbyterian confession's/catechism's and the Dutch Reformed confession's/catechism's

Here I am literally mowing my lawn.

Also, finally someone mentions Bonhoeffer.

You are always praising the Scotts confession and I’m here for it😂

“We utterly damn the vanity of all those who affirm the sacraments are mere symbols” -Scott’s confession

Problem with the theory that Baptism saves is that the thief on the cross, and anyone on their deathbed, didn't have the time to get baptised. Jesus himself declares that the thief would go with Him in paradise.

That's why I always encourage people to get their beliefs through the Bible over any confessions, as confessions arent necessarily inspired by the Holy Spirit, but the Bible is.

Baptism is command to us, but the Bible never declares that it saves or is even necessary in all cases.

what do you think of the church of scotland dying? Do you think reconquista can save it?

The Scots Confession was written in four days by John Knox and five other men - all called John. Is it easy to make even a YouTube video of any substance in four days? If you want a Scottish discussion of theology from someone who had read all of Barth's Dogmatics and who interacted with T. F. Torrance then consider Donald Macleod's books or lectures. There's a lecture currently labelled as "Discipleship no4 discipleship and the sacraments" from the "Lectures in the Faith" series "2001-2002 Discipleship" on my channel which is pitched to a congregational audience. I'd provide links but I'm not sure if the settings would allow posts with those.

Hoping all Orthodox brothers and sisters blessed Pascha was wonderful, amin☦️. Christ is Risen!

To say “a good portion of evangelicals don’t believe Jesus is God” seems like an absurd claim to me. Ive been to many evangelical churches never met an evangelical who would disagree with that

[josephwolcott]

Westminster isn't vague on the sacraments. The Larger Catechism says "they that worthily communicate feed upon his body and blood, to their spiritual nourishment and growth in grace; have their union and communion with him confirmed; testify and renew their thankfulness, and engagement to God, and their mutual love and fellowship each with other, as members of the same mystical body" (168).

Also, having a binding Book of Confessions in conservative denominations is extremely impractical. The PC(USA) can have the Book of Confessions because they don't enforce any degree of subscription to the confessions. In the PCA, we require our pastors to subscribe to the Westminster Standards. Westminster is more than sufficient in its theology, especially when a church actually believes and enforces the contents.

We don't use the word "theosis", but we do talk about union with Christ. Union with Christ is prominently featured in Westminster.

Final point worth considering: the Church of Scotland jettisoned the Scots in favor of Westminster. That should tell you something about the development of Reformed thought and that Westminster was accepted by the purest Presbyterians as superior to the Scots.

Hey Zoomer, could you do a video about the flood?

[RaphaCramer]

I was literally doing my research for my master's thesis on geomechanics and soil liquefaction phenomena in mining tailings dams while listening to you lol

[TheScholarlyBaptist]

My church does not do communion that often and I kinda feel like I’m missing something. You are like actually psychic 😂
Thanks for making this video 👍

[sebastijan]

I knew literally nothing about Reformed theology before watching your channel. Even though as a Catholic I still disagree with it, at least now I have a much clearer understanding of why and feel like I can have good debates with Reformers (if I ever do meet one).

Holy crap, redeemed zoomer basedposting at 1:00AM (E.S.T.).. EPIC !!

[jkproluigi]

0:00 I did, they didn't care so I picked up a copy of the Mystical Presence, by John Williamson Nevin, so I could be more than well equipped to educate them. I definitely recommend it.
