Trinitarian Theology
editI removed the following sentence: Some evangelical opponents[who?] argue that the Federal Vision view that the persons of the trinity at a certain point in cosmic history formed a covenant among themselves raises the question of what the intra-trinitarian relationship would have previously been and whether the supposed shift in relationship undermines God's eternal and unchanging nature.[citation needed]
The tags asking "who?" and "citation needed" have been there for over two years. Furthermore, the accusation present in this sentence is baseless and, from a Christian perspective, doesn't even make sense. In Christian theology, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit exist eternally in a never beginning and never ending relationship so close that each lives from and knows the others from within themselves, not from without the way human's experience and know one another. Because of the limitations of human language theology uses words that when used in an ordinary context implies the movement of time. For example, Christian Theology says that the Son of God is eternally begotten of the Father and that the Holy Spirit eternally proceeds from the Father. In ordinary speech, we expect that there was a time before someone or something is begotten, or a time before something begins proceeding. However, this language indicates an eternal relationship, a way of being together, a kind of initiation and response or give and take, which has no beginning. As C.S. Lewis explains it, the Son is dependent on the Father in an analogous way that in a stack of two books, the top book depends on the bottom book. But unlike the books where in a sequence of temporal moments, the bottom book must have been set down first and the top book set down second, the relationship does not exist in a sequence of temporal moments. Thus there was never a moment in time or before the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit loved one another in this covenant like relationship. That means that all of creation, time, space, and life are the over flow of this eternal love, the most fundamental reality. The thought of a time before this relationship was established is by the very definition of Christian faith an absurdity.

POV
editThe majority of this article is clearly written by someone heavily in favor of Federal Vision, and appears to be essentially an apologetic for it. This should be corrected.
--
I am the son of a 30+ year PCA pastor, my family has been missionaries with the PCA's missionary organization, Mission to the World (MTW) for many years, which means I have visited many PCA churches across the country. All that to say, I know PCA and their theology very well. I am now in Moscow, ID, and in the Church of Doug Wilson, have heard him preach for 2.5 years, as well as Peter Leithart when I get the chance (and have studied under him at New Saint Andrews for a year), and I have very closely followed PCA's interaction with Federal Vision. That said, I would like to say that I think the article defines FV well. Thanks to all who have contributed! Foucachon 20:02, 18 February 2008 (UTC) --
As the author of the majority of this page, I would be interested in what areas are thought to be an "apologetic" for it. That was not my intention. I recognize that as someone who has studied quite a lot of FV material, what I write may sound like it is "heavily in favor" of the movement.
However, I think we should draw a distinction between being in favor of the movement, and presenting their claims and intentions. In this sense, presentation does not imply support. Thus, we can say that they do indeed see themselves as the heirs of the Reformation without this implying that this is, in fact, true. Nevertheless, I recognize that there may be areas where my sentences might be phrased or structured better.

- ChosenOne66, I'm not sure whether or not your article has significant POV issues, but it does tend toward the overly dramatic in many places, which can give the impression of a non-neutral POV. I have taken the liberty of editing the "Origins" and "Controversy" sections quite a bit in an attempt to tone down the drama and let the facts speak for themselves. Would you be so kind as to review my edits (I left a few hidden comments/and questions, too) and discuss them with me here before making any desired reversions? I have also recommended changes to the lead secion (see below). Though I do have some interest in the subject, my main concern here is to craft a well-written, professional-sounding encyclopedia article. I look forward to working further with you and others to that end. Regards, Kyriosity 06:45, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
- AS someone who is currently looking at understanding precisely what Federal Vision and the New Perspective mean, I'll throw in my $.02 that this article appears, on balance, to be a relatively fair portrayal of the Federal Vision position. I don't agree with the FV folks on everything, but it's very important to present their views fairly an impartially. Given my somewhat limited understanding, this appears to be a good start. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.69.210.48 (talk • contribs)
- I have to agree that this is a heavily biased article. Many of the assumptions made by the author are stated as fact, and these are precisely the points at which the Federal Vision has been criticized. Take, for instance, the author's claim that the Federal Vision calls for a return to the sacramental theology of Calvin and the early Church. This is entirely unfootnoted in the article, and virtually nothing has been written on this subject by the proponents of Federal Vision. In the article, it is merely assumed. Also, the fact that only three sentences are devoted to the criticism of Federal Vision theology, and at that, only the association with the NPP is mentioned, is clearly disingenuous. Another example are the resources listed at the bottom of the page. Only one minor critic is cited (John Otis) and all others are the chief architects of the Federal Vision project; and yet several major scholarly studies in print (Guy Waters, The Federal Vision and Covenant Theology; R. Scott Clark (ed.), Covenant, Justification and Pastoral Ministry; Jeong Koo Jeon, Covenant Theology and Justification by Faith; et al.) that are highly critical of the Federal Vision are never mentioned. Perhaps the most egregious demonstration of the author's assumed bias is their claim that the Federal Vision has a "highly developed view of the Trinity", when in fact the Federal Vision view of "One Person, Three Persons" is considered heretical by virtually every branch of the Nicean Church, Roman Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, and Protestant alike.Rv1115 20:17, 4 April 2007 (UTC)rv1115
- All articles should be properly sourced (WP:V, WP:RS) and should present all significant points of view (WP:NPOV). I haven't actually looked at this article in depth, so I don't know how it stands now in light of Wikipolicies. But please refrain from calling other authors' (n.b. the plural) work disingenuous, which does not assume good faith. As for a citation on sacramental theology, see [1], which I just happened upon yesterday while working on something else. HTH. --Flex (talk|contribs) 20:27, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
- Right. Original author of the page here. I've gone ahead and expanded a number of things in the article to 1) soften POV criticisms, 2) expand and clarify language in what is already there, 3) add more citations and primary documentation, and 4) add new sections of Federal Vision positions which are not already covered. In the coming days, I will be adding a section on objections and criticism. I welcome all suggestions to relieve criticism of bias. ChosenOne66 11:31, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
Lead Section
editThe article needs a stronger opening in keeping with Wikipedia style. Here is my suggested revision:
The Federal Vision is a Reformed Evangelical theological position that focuses on covenant theology, trinitarian thinking, the sacraments of Baptism and Communion, biblical theology and typology, justification, and postmillennialism.
The teaching of a group of Federal Vision proponents sparked a controversy in Calvinist, Reformed, and Presbyterian circles in 2002. The ongoing controversy involves several Reformed denominations including the Orthodox Presbyterian Church (OPC), the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA), and the Reformed Presbyterian Church in the United States (RPCUS).
I would appreciate feedback from the author (and any others) on whether I have left the content sufficiently intact, as my intent is to beautify the form, not battle with the substance. Kyriosity 05:27, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
I'm going to go ahead and make this change, as no one seems to have an opinion to the contrary. Bleh...I think I messed up some references when making other tweaks. Kyriosity 15:52, 8 January 2007 (UTC) I'm not a theologian, but I am PCA and found out there is a fight in the PCA. Got curious about what, and found out it's "Federal Vision." Never heard of it, so looked that up on wiki in hope of a nice quick, easy-to-understand definition. This opening didn't define it at all. It looks like someone was trying to walk over a pit of hot coals with feathered soles and didn't want to get singed. Feel free to offend, if offend is required, but define what it means in the lead section. The feathers didn't get singed because they never got put into action.
What is the Federal Vision? Part one in an article on Federal Vision. Stop worrying about who believes what and just define the term first. The rest can be dealt with later. As it stands, I'm going elsewhere to find out what it is. (And then maybe get upset with it. lol) 72.94.178.112 (talk) 20:22, 23 April 2020 (UTC)
The list of denominations leaves out the Reformed Church in the United States, which is mentioned, with errors, later on.
Question. Is it accurate to describe the position as reformed and Evangelical. This boils down to whether ro not you define something as reformed/evangelical on the basis that some people who claim to be reformed and evangelical hold the view or whether you think that the reformed/evangelical position is a specific doctrinal position and whethr or not FV is reformed/evangelical depends on whether or not it complies to it. Be Dave (talk) 10:31, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
- And on Wikipedia, it's definitely the former. If you'd go for the latter, you have to overcome the significant obstacle of defining the "reformed/evangelical" doctrinal position, and I can't imagine there's a consensus on the matter. Hence, Wikipedia usually follow a person's self-designation. See, for example, MOS:IDENTITY. StAnselm (talk) 11:54, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
NPOV Again
editThe Wikipedia article on Federal Vision shows a strong flavor of bias, because it does not clearly describe Federal Vision's distinctive, and often contested, meanings for various Christian theological words and phrases of long standing; and because it omits an adequately clear summary of the most common criticisms of FV.
The neutrality of the article can be strengthened in at least two ways. One way is clarify the new definitions that certain Federal Visionists have created for certain established theological terms and phrases. For example, the Federal Vision's view of "covenant objectivity" results in a category of person some have called the "unbelieving Christian" or "unsaved Christian", which most evangelicals regard as an oxymoronic statement.
Federal Visionists assert a belief in election, but subdivide the elect between elect who are granted an additional grace of perseverance and thus persevere in their faith unto eternal life, as opposed to a different category of the elect who are not granted a special grace of perseverance by God, and as a result apostasize from the Christian faith and are eternally condemned to hell.
The phrase "obedient faith" has been adopted from controversial CRC pastor Rev. Norman Shepherd, and is used to signify that one is justified not by faith alone (that is, faith in Jesus Christ and the Gospel, considered apart from its subjective ethical influences), but by the consequent actions of ethical obedience to God's will which result from faith.
This brings us to a second way to make the Wikipedia article neutral, which is to add a clear section on basic criticisms of Federal Vision.
The link section addresses some of these, but there ought to be material in the body of the article itself that enumerates and clearly describes the most common criticisms of Federal Vision. E.g., Federal Vision has been criticized as not being properly described as "evangelical" (since "evangelical" denotes a Protestant insistence on the necessity of individual conversion), in light of its teaching of presumptive baptismal regeneration, and continual criticism (and sometimes mockery) of American evangelicalism's emphasis on the encessity of conversion. In this sense, it appears to be more akin to high Anglicanism, which is non-evangelical. The claim that it more faithfully represents the thought of John Calvin is disputed by many familiar with Calvin's theology.

- REVJAB, First, welcome. Second, feel free to jump in and start editing anything you wish. Kyriosity 01:13, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
- Right. Be bold! Trust me: if you swing the balance too far the other way, someone will let you know. --Flex (talk|contribs) 11:36, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
- Besides a Criticisms section, the In January 2002.. should probably be under origins and/or history. 「ѕʀʟ·✎」 10:25, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
- OK, it's been restructured.. I think History and Controversy may need to be somewhat split. This article covers: the FV theology, the history of the FV theology, the controversy over the theology, the history of the controversy over the theology.. needs to flow a bit better. 「ѕʀʟ·✎」 10:38, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
- SRL, I'm not sure your new section does the trick. I don't think the purported connection with the New Perspective on Paul is the pith of the criticism. It would be great if someone could contribute a solid overview of critiques of the FV, but I don't think this is the right place to start. Kyriosity 21:30, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
- It was meant as a structural change, at this point.. I think some of the PDFs linked discuss some critiques, such as the OPC justification which has about a 12 point list. Didn't find anything citable that mentioned the NPP connection yet, but documents which seem to assume the connection. That content aside, do you think the structural change is an improvement? 「ѕʀʟ·✎」 21:39, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
- My, you're quick! Yeah...I think it's a good idea in principle. Kyriosity 22:01, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

editin both pro and con documents I see the topic of definitions come up. I quibbled with the terminology of the so-called “covenant of works”[2] A first pass at this would probably be to categorize some of these terms and give citations for definitions. 「ѕʀʟ·✎」 00:17, 13 February 2007 (UTC) I moved Andrew Sandlin's name in the History in Controversy section to be along side of Frame. Sandlin is a strong critic of several main Federal Vision ideas, and has publicly protested several times against being identified with the movement. He says: "I am not FV and never have been. I don't think these men are heretics, but often their ecclesiology seems virtually Anglo-Catholic. Mine most certainly is not. Actually, their ecclesiology is closer to Westminster West's than to mine. I deplore formalism, sacerdotalism, ritualism, baptismal regeneration, etc. These men from the FV and WW would all consider me a deplorably low-churchman." "I am not an advocate of the NPP and never have been, but I am open to any argument based in a careful historical reading of the text. The NPP has not convinced me. "
Suggested Merge
editI would suggest merging Auburn Avenue Theology with this article, as they are both terms for the same thing. I would keep the term Federal Vision because it is more technical (refers to the substance of the theology) whereas Auburn Avenue is more of a nickname. I tried to put the suggested merge thingummy on the top of the page, but I couldn't figure it out. Kyriosity 01:13, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
- I added the tags. --Flex (talk|contribs) 11:37, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
danke Kyriosity 00:20, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
- Support. Keep Federal Vision, refer to the nickname in a sub heading if need be. 「ѕʀʟ·✎」 09:59, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
- Since there are no objections, I'm going forward with it. --Flex (talk|contribs) 15:04, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
A useful distinction could be made between Auburn Avenue Theology and Federal Vision inasmuch as some Auburn Avenue conference speakers were not Federal Vision, and yet their writings were highly controverted.
Resource List
editAre all of the resources listed really resources on FV, or are some of them on FV-related or FV-tangential topics by FV authors? ISTM that the resource list would be better suited for its purpose if it were trimmed to include only items that deal with the FV directly and primarily. I don't know enough to make those edits myself, but I toss it out for consideration. Kyriosity 16:41, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
- I wondered the latter also. I think as resources there should be something of what it contributes to the article. I.e. "This book gives a discussion on X.." 「ѕʀʟ·✎」 17:30, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
- Agreed. I formatted the list, deleted one, and added two others. Few of those seem to directly deal with the issues addressed by FV, so I think it should be redacted further. --Flex (talk|contribs) 14:42, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
More NPOV
editI changed numerous examples of positive assertions about FV teachers (e.g., "Federal Vision recaptures the richness of the original Reformed faith") to "claims to", or words to that effect, as per my earlier complaint about NPOV.
This reflects the article's continuing lack of a NPOV. I continue to hold the opinion that the primary writer of this page is using it as a platform for promoting Federal Vision. There continues to be no "criticisms of Federal Vision" section at all, though I can acknowledge that a thorough article for that will need its own separate page.
In any event, the main article still omits coverage of the now-established theological criticism of FV, nor the recent study-committee judgments against it by the PCA and OPC, nor the repudiation of it by Westminster Theological Seminary West (R. Scott Clark in particular), and R.C. Sproul Sr. at the 2007 PCA General Assembly.
The writer's use of the Louis Berkhof citation is improper. Berkhof was a classical, traditional covenant theologian whose ideas contradict the core points of Federal Vision. The author should remove the citation.
The independent citation from John Calvin similarly uses Calvin to promote Federal Vision. An legitimate use of Calvin for a NPOV encyclopedia should be a citation from a pro-FV writer where Calvin was cited. Then the reader could decide whether or not the pro-FV writer cited Calvin correctly. The quotation was also non sequitur, in that it did not support the primary claim made for it.
The article is also too long, with an excessive number of literary citations, all taken from pro-FV sources.
Even though the article is heavily footnoted, it is still, over-all, an advocacy piece, not an encyclopedia entry, and as advocacy literature does not adhere to Wikipedia's NPOV policy.
Jack Brooks 16:03, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
- Jack, you wrote in your edit summary for your comment, "This article continues to function as 'soapbox' for the primary writer's ('Valerie') private enthusiasm for this movement, and violates Wikipedia's NPOV philosophy. Examples of this are given." Where in heaven's name did you get the idea that I was the "primary writer" for this article? Look at the history: I've contributed nothing of substance here because I have nothing of substance to contribute. Why the uncharitable and unsubstantiated claims about me and my contributions to this article? And why the scare quotes around my name? What gives, bro? This is quite hurtful, and I would not have expected it from you. :-(
- Perhaps I should have contacted you in private about this, but as your comments were public, I feel the need to protect my reputation by publicly responding. Kyriosity 12:18, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
If you are not the primary writer, Valerie, then I do apologize; I was under a misapprehension. I do believe the article shows a strong bias, and is not adhering to a NPOV. 64.183.164.137 13:24, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
I want to point out that your citation is something that I removed, a short time after I originally wrote it, prior to our current exchange. Jack Brooks 13:33, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
- Apology accepted and forgiveness gladly granted! :-) Unfortunately, the comment I quoted cannot be removed, as it is from your edit summary. You might want to familiarize yourself a little more with Wikipedia's history pages. Each article has a history page, and each discussion page has a history page. If you're in the article page, click on the history tab to see a record of all the edits made to the article. If you're in the discussion page, the history tab gives you a record of all the edits made to the discussion page. As for NPOV issues, I repeat my suggestion to you from February (see above): jump in and take a stab at improving it. Here are some other pages you may find helpful as you edit:
Thank you for your graciousness. I ought to have gone back to the top and read it all again. I let too much time pass (since February). Your name lodged in my mind because you were the first respondant back to ChosenOne's defending him/herself against the first NPOV related criticism. I gather, now having checked again, that ChosenOne was the primary author. This was my own foolish error. Jack Brooks 14:13, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks back atcha, Jack! Kyriosity 15:09, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
Overhauling, December 2007
editI'm finally actually going to tackle the substantive parts of this article. My plan is threefold:
- Take out lots of the quotes, as per the "too many quotes" template. As appropriate, I will paraphrase or reference, and I may leave some quotes, but in general, whack, whack, whack will be the order of the day. (Let them have their serrated edges...I'll stick to my machete!)
- Shorten the "General beliefs" section considerably, mostly by deleting quotes, but also by tightening the rest of the copy. I want this to be the "Stuff FV Proponents Say About FV" subsection, describing their actual beliefs.
- Move criticisms from the "General beliefs" section down to the "Criticisms" section. Here I want "Stuff FV Critics Say About FV," and I will add several new sub-headings parallel to the controversial subsections under "General beliefs."
I think that will help address some criticisms of the article and will give a tidier framework for everybody having his say. I'm finding the Joint FV Statement a helpful one-stop-shopping primary document expressing the pro-FV side. Any suggestions for a similarly succinct critical document? I don't have the time or the intellectual fortitude to read really long stuff from either side. Of course I will try to reincorporate the main points from both sides that are already in the article.
I welcome comments on this approach, and of course if anybody else wants to jump in and help, please edit boldly, but believe and rejoice more boldly still! Or...um...something like that. ;-) Kyriosity (talk) 14:21, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
- Sounds like a good approach. The PCA document cited herein has a number of criticisms of FV and may be a good overview or starting point for the opposing side. It is rather long, but it has a summary at the end. --Flex (talk/contribs) 14:52, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
Thanks, Flex, for the affirmation and the resource! Kyriosity (talk) 17:00, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
This article could also benefit by not only saying what these people support, but what they believe is currently wrong. This article is hard to understand for this reason. For example, it mentions their support for children taking communion, but never mentions churches not doing it or why they aren't do it.98.23.173.135 (talk) 14:47, 7 October 2010 (UTC)
Trenchhall's edits
editTrenchhall doesn't have a user page, so I'll put my comments here.
I undid (rather, am attempting to undo...the "Save Page" button is being uncooperative in another window) your revision because it was largely redundant with the "Ecclesiastical reports" section. I would suggest incorporating this info there, perhaps adding some details to explain the various rejections. If need be, the section could be renamed "Ecclesiastical responses."
In short, useful info, but in the wrong place, so please give it another shot. Kyriosity (talk) 01:23, 10 April 2009 (UTC)
- Kyriosity, if this were an article on Arianism and there was a section on "History and Controversy", you would probably want to mention that it was condemned by the Council of Nicea in 325. Likewise, the fact that the FV was ruled erroneous by the General Assemblies of the OPC and PCA is about as relevant an item as there could possibly be for this section. You include a line on the RCPUS' 2002 ruling, a denomination that is indeed "small." Why is the fact that the largest member of NAPARC (the PCA) did the very same thing a few years later not included in this section rather than hidden somewhere else? This is precisely why the article is considered to be biased. You can present the FV as positively as you want, but your readers ought to at least know the basic fact that it has now been officially rejected by most NAPARC member denominations. If you want to have something close to a neutral article, put it back up in that section where it belongs. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Trenchhall (talk • contribs) 12:29, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
- Trenchall, by all means, add this information...I'm just trying to keep the overall article tidy and unredundant. Moving the ecclesiastical reports info to the history section actually makes a lot of sense. The criticism section should be about specific points of disagreement, whereas the overview of the ecclesiastical reports is more historical. Tellya what...I'll go ahead and move that subheading, and I'll let you go to town from there, incorporating more details about the reports to your heart's content. 'K? Pax!

NPOV removed

Is this a Survey or a Scholarly Article?
editThe section entitled "General Beliefs" seems to try to generalize about federal vision proponents, by saying most believe this or that. That is stereotyping.
An encyclopaedic article should list the beliefs that are concretely part of the Federal Vision doctrine from the "Join Federal Vision Profession" rather than engaging in general anecdotal speculation about the general beliefs of followers of FV doctrine.
