I think it is obvious that I asked the question wrong about the WCF. (sorry) I meant to ask is there a place in the confession that speaks of God's "eternal decree that justifies" and not "to justify"?

1. By the justification that occurred at the cross I believe it to mean all of elect and justification by his life is meant the interceding life of Christ in heaven. (without both there is no salvation)

2. I believe justification occurred in God's mind from eternity proceeding the cross.

3. The nature of the justification occurs in time and is an act of God whereby he imputes the righteousness of Christ upon a guilty Hell deserving sinner (elect in Christ) on the merits of Christ and gives him eternal life.

4. These are aspects I believe of justification even #2. I know that armenians reject the eternal decree that justifies and I also know that there was much antinomianism at the time the WCF was written. Sorry but thats all I know, Lord willing He will lead me in all truth if I am truly one of His sheep. Bill
