Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Manual of Church Polity "And, therefore, it is good we return unto the ancient bonds of unity in the Church of God, which was one faith, one baptism, and not one hierarchy, one discipline; and that we observe the league of Christians, as it is penned by our Savior, which is, in substance of doctrine, this: He that is not with us, is against us; but in things indifferent, and only of circumstance, this: He that is not against us, is with us. In these things, so as the general rules be observed, that Christ's flock be fed, that there be a succession in bishops and ministers, which are the prophets of the New Testament, that those that preach the Gospel, live of the Gospel, that all things tend to edification, that all things be done in order and decency, and the like; the rest is left to the holy wisdom and spiritual discretion of the master builders and inferior builders in Christ's Church, as it is excellently alluded by that Father who noted that Christ's garment was without seam, and yet the church's garment was of diverse colors; and, thereupon, setteth down for a rule, in veste varietas sit, scissura non sit." Lord Bacon, on the Pacification of the Church. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1879 edition. Excerpt: ...if Christ has given his Church the power of self-government, what the Church does in the exercise of that power, if consistent with his revealed will, has as much his sanction as it well could have under any theory of Church government. If Paul says the civil powers are ordained of God, so that they who resist, resist the ordinance of God, although God has not revealed even a general system of civil polity, we see not why the same is not much more true with respect to the Church. That this is the true doctrine on this subject is evident, in the first place, from the absence of any express command binding the Church in all ages to conform her mode of government in every respect to the example of the apostolic churches. If Christ and his apostles had intended to make such conformity a matter of perpetual obligation, it is fair to presume they would have said so. As they have nowhere given or intimated such a command, no man has now the right to bind the conscience of God's people in this matter. Again, that the apostles never meant to make their example in all points of this kind, a perpetual law for the Church, is plain from the fact that they did not themselves pursue, in all particulars, the same plan in all places. There are some general principles to which they seem to have adhered, but it is far from being certain, or even probable, that all the apostolic churches were organized exactly after the same model. This indeed was hardly possible in that day of inspiration and miraculous gifts, which the Spirit distributed to every man, according to his own will; so that some were apostles, some prophets, some teachers; after that miracles, then gifts of healing, helps, governments, diversities of tongues. According to another enumeration, ..

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Democracy in the Church Democracy Is a sacred word among us in America, not only in the State but in the Church. In American Protestantism, more than forty percent of the churches have Democracy as the basis of their polity. If we include indirect democracy, nearly all our churches may be classed as democratic. It is this theme. Democracy in the Church, which we set before us. We shall study it from the standpoint of one of the democratic bodies, the Congregationalists. For many years there has been no treatise on Congregational polity. Statements of polity have appeared, and histories, but no fresh attempt to draw democratic principles from their source and lead them, life-giving, across the fields of church activity. Dexter, Ross and Ladd served a previous generation. But the years since their works were published have been full of change. The sciences of Exegesis and Church History have made great advance, and with this advance comes the need of readjustment in the theories of church polity. New problems have arisen in our denominational life. The present air is filled with clamorous voices, demanding a more centralized polity, or warning us that any step in that direction is a sale of our birthright. "We must become more compact," say some, "if we are to do our work in the Kingdom. Consolidation is the tendency of the age." "What is wanted," says another, "is not a change of system but a change of heart." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
