WESTMINSTER ASSEMBLY AND RELATED DOCUMENTS HOMEPAGE.

“As truly as in the cases of the Nicene and Chalcedonian formularies, the Westminster Standards mark an epoch in the history of human reflection on the truths of the gospel—an epoch in the attainment and registry of doctrinal truth; and as truly in the one case as in the other the statements they give of the truths that fall in their sphere are scientifically final. All attempts at restatement must either repeat their definitions or fall away from the purity of their conceptions or the justness of their language.”—Benjamin B. Warfield, The Significance of the Westminster Standards as a Creed, (1897).
