Thank you all. Is it safe to say then that no presbytery in the PCA would allow a man considered for office to take an exception to the WCF where the extent of the atonement is concerned? I assume that would be a serious departure. Is that correct?
Steve, I've answered the question twice, and provided the source, and told you where you can request an email copy of the source. If you don't want to email the Stated Clerk's office the relevant section is
B. The Commission affirms the judgment of Eastern Carolina Presbytery in that Infant Baptism (WCF 28-4) and Limited Atonement (WCF 3-3, 8-5 and 11-4) are to be considered fundamentals of the system of doctrine and that there can be no exceptions given in the case of officers in the church.
Presbyteries don't have a choice in the matter. They have done this before, both in ignorance and wilfully, but a complaint to the Session will remedy the situation.
