Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Creed of Presbyterians This is not another essay on The Five Points. Such treatises have their place and value, but they present our system, and only the anti-arminian part of it at that, in its bones. They furnish no adequate con ception of that divinely vital and exuber ant Calvinism, the creator of the modern world, the mother of heroes, saints and martyrs in number without number, which history, judging the tree by its fruits, crowns as the greatest creed of Christen dom. This historic faith of the Presbyterian Church'has in recent years been assailed with the most searching criticism, the most merciless caricature, the most vivid and eloquent abuse. That in this and every other conflict it will come off more-than conqueror, we have no shadow of doubt. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Presbyterianism: Its Principles and Practice The Presbyterian Church has no denominational Shibboleth with which to rally the masses, - which is both an advantage and a disadvantage. The advantage gained is that it prevents Presby terianism from being narrow and sectarian, but it is at a distinct disadvantage in contending with the bigot characterized by intense sectarian propaganda and proverbial zeal. The task of Presby terianism is to produce a loyal, intelligent membership, stalwart in faith and character, yet liberal towards all evangelical denomina tions. This attempt to accomplish the impossible is measurably successful in cultivating catholicity on the one hand and denomina tional loyalty on the other.

This book was released on 2017-11-02 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Brief History of the Bible Presbyterian Church and Its Agencies: Maintaining the True Spiritual Succession of American Presbyterianism in Doctrine and Life, in Worship and Government The Westminster Confession of Faith was born out of loyalty to the Bible. It is not the sole possession of any one church group but it has been since its birth the operating standard of the historic Presbyterian Church. From olden days the Presbyterian Church recognized the Confession to be a faithful summary of the great doctrines of the Bible. Presbyterian doctrinal standards include the Westminster Confession of Faith, and the Larger and Shorter Catechisms. These are three state ments, varying in form, fullness, and purpose, of the same creed. They are known as the West minster standards because the famous Assembly of divines that framed them held their sessions in England's great Abbey of Westminster. The Westminster Assembly Was a representative body, called by the English Parliament, made up of one hundred and twenty-one divines, eleven lords, twenty commoners, from all the counties of England and the Universities of Oxford and Cam bridge with seven Commissioners from Scotland. Many of them jeopardized their livings by accepting the Parliament's appointment, and after the Restoration cheerfully sacrificed their earthly all for conscience' sake (smith, E. W., The Creed of Presbyterians, The Westminster Press, 1902, p. The Assembly was a select assembly com posed of scholars, theologians, orators, statesmen men well qualified to voice the deepest religious convictions.

This book was released on 2018-02-05 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Address to the Ministers, Elders, and Members, of the Presbyterian Church, in the United States We observe Qd - That to the successful maintainance of the truth of God-to union of effort in its maintainance, creeds, confessions of faith, are indispensable. It is readily conceded that the Bible is the only infallible rule of faith and practice - the ultimate stand ard by which every doctrine and every spirit must be tried. But_it is well known that men interpret the Bible very differently, and that all the errorists that have ever disturbed the Church have pro fessed to receive it as their text-book. The Arian, the Socinian, thepelagian, and the Arminian, if you believe them, all find their several systems in the Bible - so that a simple profession of faith in the Bible it appears is a very vague matter; and something more definite and explicit is evidently necessary to ascertain the religious sentiments of men. In order to this, under the circumstances of the case, there must be' a resort to the use of formularies containingthe leading and distinguishing doctrines of the Bible, expressed in language easily understood. In no other way amid the multiplicity of religious sects that exist, is it possible to know what are men's views of divine truth; and in no other way can that harmony in counsel and union in action which are necessary to the defence and propagation of that truth be secured. Accordingly the Church has never been without her confession of faith, her avowed creed. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Presbyterian Standard, Vol. 49: January 4, 1928 On the other hand, the small church has to adapt _the same plan to meet exactly opposite conditions. There is this difference, however: The large church, as a rule, possesses the ability to adapt the plan to meet its needs, whereas the small church, lacking this leadership, either does not try to use the plan or fails in the attempt. This article plans to give some suggestions to a small church in its effort to make the men-of-the-church a success. There is but little question but that the Assem bly Plan for the men-oi-the-church must be adapted to suit a small church. And, there is just as little question that it can be done.

This book was released on 2017-01-06 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Presbyterian and Reformed Review, 1890, Vol. 1 Secondly, by the permissive decree, the preterition Of some sinners and thereby their foreordination to everlasting death is shown to be rational as well as Scriptural, because God, while decreeing the destiny Of the non-elect, is not the author Of his sin or Of his perdi tion. Preterition is a branch Of the permissive decree, and stands or falls with it. Whoever would strike the doctrine of preterition from the Standards, to be consistent must strike out the general doctrine that sin is decreed. If God could permissively decree the fall Of Adam and his posterity without being the cause and author of it, He can also permissively decree the eternal death Of an indi vidual sinner without being the cause and author of it. In preteri tion, God repeats, in respect to an individual, the act which He per formed in respect to the race. He permitted the whole human species to fall in Adam in such a manner that they were responsi ble and guilty for the fall, and He permits an individual Of the species to remain a sinner and to be lost by sin, in such a manner that the sinner is responsible and guilty for this. The Westminster Standards, in common with the Calvinistic creeds generally, begin with affirming the universal sovereignty of God over His entire universe; over heaven, earth and hell; and comprehend all beings and all events under His dominion. Nothing comes to pass contrary to His decree. Nothing happens by chance. Even moral evil, which He abhors and forbids, occurs by the de terminate counsel and foreknowledge of God and yet occurs through the agency of the unforced and self-determining will Of man as the efficient.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Presbyterian and Reformed Review, Vol. 6: October, 1895 With the end of the Thirty Years War the external dangers to the Reformed of Zurich passed away. There was now room for internal development in the Church. The canons Of Dort were never adopted by the Swiss, yet there was no country in Europe outside of Holland, not even France, where they exerted so great a theological influence. This reveals itself and culminates in the Helvetic Consensus, the most scholastic of the Reformed creeds of the continent of Europe.

Download or read book Presbyterianism Classic Reprint written by John Macpherson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-25 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Presbyterianism It will be seen that the distinction to which we have been referring is one which turns purely upon questions of church polity. Some of these indeed may be closely associated with points of doctrine, and in many cases it will be found that prin ciples of doctrine and polity easily act and react on one another Yet in the threefold distribution just referred to, we shall find churches under all the three, not only thoroughly agreed on certain fundamental doctrinal truths, but also accepting the same or similar Confessions. For example, Calvinists in doctrine may be found quite consistently placing themselves under a Prelatical, or a Congregational, or a Presbyterian form of church govern ment. Arminians may be met with under any of the three divisions. There is no reason Why those entertaining Baptist views should in their church polity be Congregationalists rather than Prelatists or Presbyterians In reference purely to matters of church polity are the distinctions made to which we here refer. The difference between these three may in general terms be stated to lie in the representation which they give respectively of the parties in whom church power is vested. In Prelatical churches the clergy rule, the church courts, both inferior and superior, being purely clerical. In Congregational churches, the members of the local church rule, there being no church courts proper as distinguished from the general meeting of the congregation. In Presbyterian churches, the representatives of the people rule in church courts variously graduated, and having'their membership drawn from both the clerical and the lay elements, ruling elders sitting with ministers of the Word in the exercise of the govern ment of the church.
