The Pactum Salutis and Eternal Subordination of the Son

This 7 minute clip is taken from Greystone's micro-course module, We Distinguish: Scholastic Distinctions in Reformed Theology and Ministry. This particular lecture investigates the teaching by some of the eternal subordination of the Son in light of the classical confession of the simplicity of the Triune God. Should one speak of the Son eternally submitting to the Father if the simplicity of God is true, which means therefore that God has one essence and one will that is identical with his essence?
