‘No Confession? Nothing to Debate!'

During a recent conversation with two friends, I learned that some covenant theologians complain that since there is no definitive new-covenant theology Confession, they cannot really engage in any serious debate with those of us who stand for that theology. In essence, they say: ‘You can’t be serious. We don’t know what you believe. There is nothing to debate. Until you have a Confession, that’s the end of the story!’
