Matthew,
But as I have said multiple times, that is not what the confession says. It says 'PROFESSORS', not TRUE PROFESSORS. Judas was a professor. Annanias and Saphira were professors, as was the apostle Demas. Yet all proved to be apostates.
Please explain why the distinction is made then? Why is the term elect used to describe the invisible church and not the visible?
