Synopsis
Excerpt from Complete Works of Rev. Thomas Smyth, D.D, Vol. 4
We may therefore lay it down as a sure criterion of the scripturality and purity of any church, that while it is found contending earnestly for the faith once delivered to the saints, and for all the essential principles of ecclesiastical law, as far as they can be clearly discovered in the heavenly institutes, it is at the same time willing to receive and treat as brethren, those that are otherwise minded on matters pertaining to the outward form and order of the church, and the minute ar rangements of ecclesiastical order.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the role of Ruling Elders in the Presbyterian Church, arguing that they are not to be equated with Presbyters or Bishops, but rather are representatives of the people, elected to serve in a temporary capacity. The author draws on Scripture, the writings of the Church Fathers, and the history of the Reformation to support this view. The book also examines the nature and functions of the Ruling Eldership, and argues that it is an essential part of the Presbyterian polity. The author concludes by emphasizing the importance of the Ruling Eldership in promoting the spiritual welfare of the church and in maintaining its purity and discipline.
