What a joy being a Confessional Calvinist and to have learned the Gospel from them before coming near the swamps of mixed-up and double-minded Anglicans. We believe James Ussher would have signed these glorious articles. "Ah, but the Anglican says, we never embraced these, how can you?" With Archdeacon John Philpott, we mock the double-minded and say: "These have the grounding of Scriptures. Can't hang with leaders? Grow up! Be like Akinola and say, `We preach the Bible and have a biblical theology.'"

Westminster Larger Catechism
Q. 86. What is the communion in glory with Christ, which the members of the invisible church enjoy immediately after death?
A. The communion in glory with Christ, which the members of the invisible church enjoy immediately after death is, in that their souls are then made perfect in holiness,[371] and received into the highest heavens,[372] where they behold the face of God in light and glory,[373] waiting for the full redemption of their bodies,[374] which even in death continue united to Christ,[375] and rest in their graves as in their beds,[376] till at the last day they be again united to their souls.[377] Whereas the souls of the wicked are at their death cast into hell, where they remain in torments and utter darkness, and their bodies kept in their graves, as in their prisons, till the resurrection and judgment of the great day.[378]
