The Westminster Legacy-Ministry

These men are some of the earliest scholars to establish and work at Westminster Theological Seminary in Philadelphia, founded in 1929. The commitment of these men was to the development and propogation of the Reformed faith (Five Solas). These teachings are perhaps most perfectly described in the Westminster Confession of Faith.

Five Solas:

Sola Gratia (grace alone)

Sola Fide (faith alone)

Sola Scriptura (Scriptures alone)

Sola Christus (Christ alone)

Soli Deo Gloria (Glory to God alone)

The Confession states:

By the decree of God, for the manifestation of His glory, some men and angels are predestined unto everlasting life . . . . These angels and men, thus predestined, . . . are particularly and unchangeably designed, and their number so certain and definite, that it cannot be either increased of diminished. Those of mankind that are predestined unto life, God, before the foundation of the world was laid, according to His eternal and immutable purpose, and the secret counsel and good pleasure of his will, hath chosen, in Christ, unto everlasting gory, out of His mere free grace and love, without any foresight of faith, or good works, or perseverance in either of them, or any other thing in the creature, as conditions, or causes moving Him thereunto; and all to the praise of His glorious grace. As God hath appointed the elect unto glory, so hath He, by the eternal and most free purpose of His will, foreordained all the means thereunto. Wherefore, they who are elected, being fallen in Adam, are redeemed by Christ, are effectually called unto faith in Christ by His Spirit working in due season, are justified, adopted, sanctified, and kept by His power, through faith, unto salvation. - (Westminster Confession of Faith, III/ iii-vi)
