Here is a good nutshell summary of the new orthodoxy which we are all now supposed to claim is the only true Reformed Faith. It is, of course, completely unconfessional.

1. WCF XIV.2 does not describe what faith results in, but what faith is. How is “and embracing the promises of God for this life, and that which is to come” anything other than faith itself? Furthermore, the confession never uses the formula “faith is …” but rather tells us the “principal acts” of faith. If one is not faith, there is no reason for the other to be. In fact, if we adopt this entirely novel and untraditional hermeneutic for the Westminster Confession, we are going to have to admit that the chapter on Repentance never bothers to define repantance. It never states what “repentance is” but only gives us a list of things that happen “by” repentance.
   

   By it [repentance unto life], a sinner, out of the sight and sense not only of the danger, but also of the filthiness and odiousness of his sins, as contrary to the holy nature, and righteous law of God; and upon the apprehension of his mercy in Christ to such as are penitent, so grieves for, and hates his sins, as to turn from them all unto God, purposing and endeavoring to walk with him in all the ways of his commandments.

2. WCF 11.2 is talking about justifying faith when we read “Faith, thus receiving and resting on Christ and his righteousness, is the alone instrument of justification: yet is it not alone in the person justified, but is ever accompanied with all other saving graces, and is no dead faith, but worketh by love.” The Westminster Larger Catechism (Q&A #73) does not contradict this; and claiming the Westminster Divines really wanted us to use an argument from silence, in contradiction to their own confession, to eliminate what those “in the FV are trying to do” is completely preposterous.
3. The Westminster Confession does have a perfectly good formula to eliminate the heresy that is being false attributed to Reformed Ministers under the label “FV.” The formula is this:
   

   Those whom God effectually calleth, he also freely justifieth: not by infusing righteousness into them, but by pardoning their sins, and by accounting and accepting their persons as righteous; not for anything wrought in them, or done by them, but for Christ’s sake alone; nor by imputing faith itself, the act of believing, or any other evangelical obedience to them, as their righteousness; but by imputing the obedience and satisfaction of Christ unto them, they receiving and resting on him and his righteousness, by faith; which faith they have not of themselves, it is the gift of God.

   Notice here again that faith, which in context can only be justifying, is singled out as one among other acts of “evangelical obedience.” Duh. Does the Bible command us to rest on Christ alone? Then doing so is, by definition, obedience! The fact that some would rather redefine pelagianism as Reformed Orthodoxy just to get a convoluted judgment passed in their fratricidal war itself speaks volumes.
