@marcado_razon @ClearlyReformed @RevKevDeYoung Elders rule the local church as a Session. If a member is disciplined, they can appeal to Presbytery, the next higher court. If Presbytery sustains the decision, they can appeal to the highest court, the Standing Judicial Council, composed of Elders from across the denomination.

“The Reformers reacted against the nominalist soteriology of the via moderna as represented by Ockham and Biel. By contrast, the Reformers did in fact put forward a strong participation theology with their doctrine of union with Christ, a doctrine that made room for the duplex gratia, the double grace of justification and sanctification."—Matthew Barrett (@MattMBarrett); Reformation as Renewal (Zondervan Academic), pg. 206

It is among the most ignored statements in the Westminster Standards because it is utterly incompatible and irreconcilable with conventional evangelicalism and with some of what is mistakenly called “Reformed” teaching in American church and social media contexts:

Q. 85. What does God require of us that we may escape his wrath and curse due to us for sin?
A. To escape the wrath and curse of God due to us for sin, God requires of us faith in Jesus Christ, repentance unto life, *with the diligent use of all the outward means whereby Christ communicates to us the benefits of redemption.*

Required (not merely recommended) *to escape God’s wrath and curse* (i.e., not merely to “evidence” our justification or grow in sanctification):
1. Faith in Jesus Christ
2. Repentance
3. *Diligent* use of all the *outward means* (preached Word and the sacraments) *by which* Christ communicates to us the benefits of redemption

Not one. Not two. All three.

It says volumes about our situation that some contemporary voices think this way of speaking is Roman Catholic and that it requires the Roman view of merit or of how the sacraments are means of saving grace, when it’s in fact just classic Westminster (i.e., confessionally Reformed catholic rather than unreformed Roman Catholic).

NEW: Astronaut Reid Wiseman, who says he is not religious, says he broke down in tears when he saw the Cross after getting back to Earth.

Wiseman: "I'm not really a religious person, but there was just no other avenue for me to explain anything..."

Victor Glover: "The only thing I would add is I am a religious person, but everything else is the same."

@Nero I hate it when all Protestants are grouped together like this. Milo you know better than that. There are faithful Episcopalian and Presbyterians who are rooted in historic Catholic Christianity
