"The gospel is the only outward means of revealing Christ and saving grace"
This is an interesting statement. Are the ordinances not an outward means of revealing Christ? I realize that it is through preaching that men are saved. Yet is not the communion also something that we do to proclaim the Lord's death till He appears?
Wouldn't you say that the sacraments are the gospel in visible form? The sacraments "preach" the same gospel as the Word does and are supplemental to the Word. They never stand alone. So the gospel is still the only outward means, and it is most clearly revealed in the Word. And if the Word is there and is received, then the sacraments will be there too. That's my take on it.
