☧ Christology · Active-Obedience Imputation

Passive-Only

Only Christ's suffering of the curse is imputed; his active obedience is required for his own person — Piscator's denial, rejected by the Assembly.

This is a contested or rejected alternative.

Personas and schools listed below hold this alternative position instead — either because they argued for it at the Assembly (like the Erastians on polity) or because they represent a receiving tradition that departed from the Standards on this point.
