162 Faith is an entirely free gift that God makes to man. We can lose this priceless gift,

Didn't I say in one of my early posts that this is why the Catholics believe one can lose their salvation? Thank you for confirming this.

The Westminster Confession of Faith is a relatively modern (1646)

No more than the Council of Trent statement of faith or a number of other recent Catholic documents such as on Mary. I'm sure you would not say they are wrong. The only difference is that our Protestant forefathers referred back to early church fathers writings whereas our Catholic friends changed their theology. The things once deemed heresy is now accepted and they justify it as being "enlightened". This is nothing more than a form of Gnosticism.

They really should simply stick to the scriptures.
