The Standards include much more than just the confession and catechisms. You should use all of it. thewestminsterstandard.org/the-westminste…
Dragging your own on a yet-to-be official switch certainly doesn’t help with keeping one’s own camp intact. The “I knew it!” crowd seems like rather to treat denominational switches as apostasy rather than conducting themselves in a Christian manner.
Honest questions: 1. When did Barrett last teach a class at @MBTS? 2. At that time, was Barrett in agreement with and teaching according to BF&M2000? (Note @jasonkeithallen’s 2025 SBCAM report.) 3. When did the school become aware of Barrett changing his theological positions?

“Theotokos, he argued, did not do justice to the fact that, strictly speaking, Mary was not the mother of God but rather the mother of the man whom christian faith recognizes as divine and thus calls God.” -McGuckin
“Strictly speaking”
Dust covers desecrate the book. They subtract from the book by adding to it. Burn them.
You know what phrase Nestorius used frequently to justify his claims? “Strictly speaking”

Cyril of Alexandria Against Theodoret, Anathema 1 “It is for this reason that we too call the holy Virgin “Mother-of-God,” not because she gave birth to him who is *God by nature*, but because she gave birth to a man who was united to the God that had created him”
Cyril of Alexandria On Orthodoxy to Theodosius “For we recognize that the Word, through whom all things exist, is *God by nature*, even when he became flesh, that is to say, a man.”
