  • Affirm the Belhar? Yes, but Not As a Doctrinal Standard
    AFFIRM THE BELHAR? YES, BUT NOT AS A DOCTRINAL STANDARD A Contribution to the Discussion in CRCNA John W. Cooper Professor of Philosophical Theology Calvin Theological Seminary August 2011 CONTENTS INTRODUCTION 3 My Position and Involvement in the Discussion A Momentous Decision: Our Doctrinal Identity and Integrity The Burden of Proof WHY THE BELHAR CONFESSION CANNOT BE A DOCTRINAL STANDARD 6 Confusion about “Confession” The Belhar Confession Lacks the Content of a Doctrinal Standard The Belhar Confession is Doctrinally Ambiguous The Social Gospel?

CONSEQUENCES OF ADOPTING THE BELHAR AS A DOCTRINAL STANDARD 20 Adopting the Belhar Confession Would Compromise Our Confessional Integrity The Belhar Confession and Ecumenical Relations A Gift, or an Offer We Can’t Refuse? Do Racial Justice and Reconciliation Require Adoption of BC as a Confession? The Belhar, CRCNA Polity, and Denominational Unity Simple Majority? Conscientious Objection?

Faithful Witness to Biblical Justice and Reconciliation Benefits for Ecumenical Relations and Racial Reconciliation in CRCNA Can We Make a Confession a Testimony? 2 AFFIRM THE BELHAR? YES, BUT NOT AS A DOCTRINAL STANDARD INTRODUCTION My Position and Involvement in the Discussion Synod 2009 recommended that Synod 2012 adopt the Belhar Confession [hereafter BC] as the CRCNA‟s fourth Form of Unity, that is, as a definitive doctrinal standard.1 I oppose that recommendation because I believe that the confessional and theological identity and integrity of the CRCNA are at stake.

  • A Biblical,Confessional,And Theological Position Paper Of
    Central Avenue Christian Reformed Church STATEMENT OF CONVICTION adopted by Council August 22, 2011; November 28, 2011; and April 23, 2012 We believe it to be God’s will for our local church to be an instrument of Biblical and confessional leadership, as well as preserving sound doctrine and life (1 Timothy 4:16; Romans 16:17). We seek to affirm our belief in the Word of God and the historic Reformed faith as expressed in the Three-Forms of Unity – Belgic Confession, Heidelberg Catechism, and the Canons of Dort. This “Statement of Conviction” gives indication to the congregation and the broader Christian community how Central Avenue Christian Reformed Church will be lead. We affirm and commit our convictions in light of this belief as follows: The Sacraments WE AFFIRM: 1. That Christ has instituted two sacraments for His church: baptism and the Lord’s Supper so that by our faithful use of them He might make us understand more clearly the promise of the gospel, and put His seal on that promise. 2. That Baptism should be given to believers and their children as a sign and seal of their initiation into the covenant community in keeping with God’s gracious and covenantal dealings with sinners saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ (Genesis 17; Romans 4:9-11; Galatians 3:26-29; Isaiah 44:1-3; Acts 2:38, 39; Acts 10:47; Acts 16:31; Colossians 2: 11; I Corinthians 10:1, 2; I Corinthians 7:14; Matthew 28:18-21). 3. That the Lord’s Supper should be observed repeatedly by all those who have publicly professed their faith in Jesus Christ as the only One who can save them from their sins; showing that they are truly sorry for their sins and earnestly desire to lead a godly, holy life in Christ and having properly examined themselves, their faith, hope, and love for God and neighbor as revealed in I Corinthians 11:23-29.

  • The Creeds and Confessions
    The Creeds and Confessions In the Book of Praise, on the pages 493 to 588, you can find the creeds and confessions. Creeds (see Book of Praise, p. 493-496) Read the introduction to all the Creeds (p.493). Which Creeds do we have? How are they called? (See p. 493) Why? The creeds were written for two reasons. First, to give a short summary of the Biblical doctrine, so that those who wanted to join the church and the youth who wanted to profess their faith, could be taught using these creeds. Especially the Apostle's Creed is written for this purpose. Second, to defend the Christian doctrine against heresies, which came up in the first centuries after the Ascension of our Lord Jesus Christ. Especially the Nicene Creed and the Athanasian Creed are written for this purpose. Confessions (Book of Praise, p. 499-588, the Three Forms of Unity) What are confessions? Which Confessions do we have? How are they called? (p. 499) Why? These confessions are adopted by the Great Synod of Dort (1618-1619) as the confessions of the church. That was just after the Great Reformation. Most of the Reformed Churches all over the earth nowadays have these three confessions, together with the creeds, as their doctrinal standards. Many of the Reformed Churches are from Dutch origin. Other churches, which call themselves 'presbyterian' and have their origins in Great Brittain, have another Reformed Confession which they use as their doctrinal standard. This is the Westminster Confession (composed by the Westminster Assembly in 1647). In the Reformed Churches, the office bearers were required to subscribe to the three confessions.

  • Evangelical Reunion
    Evangelical Reunion John M. Frame Originally published by Baker Book House (Grand Rapids, 1991). Dedication To the Churches Who Nurtured Me Beverly Heights United Presbyterian Church Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania Westerly Road Church Princeton, New Jersey Covenant Orthodox Presbyterian Church Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania Westminster Orthodox Presbyterian Church Hamden, Connecticut New Haven Evangelical Free Church New Haven, Connecticut Community Orthodox Presbyterian Church Blue Bell, Pennsylvania New Life Presbyterian Church Escondido, California Covenant Presbyterian Church Winter Park, Florida Preface (1990) Although I teach theology, I have never specialized in the doctrine of the church, or "ecclesiology" if you prefer. Still, I haven't been able to avoid thinking about the church, the way I've been able to avoid thinking about, say, the timing of the Rapture. In a sense the old saying is true, that if God is our father, the church is our mother. All of what I know about God and about Jesus, I have learned, directly or indirectly, from the church. Most of my spiritual encouragement, challenge, comfort, has been through the church. Most of my friendships have been within the church. (I do admire Christians who are able to develop deep friendships with non-Christians, but I don't seem to have that gift.) Most of the love I have known has been in the church. I found my wife in the church, and now my children are growing up in the church. My home away from home is always the church. My favorite music is the music of the church. My favorite people are the people of the church.

  • Confession of Belhar
    Belhar Resources The Christian Reformed Church in North America decided at its 2009 Synod to encourage its churches to study the Belhar Confession (see below for copy) and consider adopting it as a fourth confession along with the Three-Forms of Unity (Heidelberg Catechism, Belgic Confession and Canons of Dort) which all office-bearers subscribe to currently as teaching faithfully the Word of God. The CRCNA has offered several resources for study (www.crcna.org/belhar) and 1st CRC in Seattle, WA, has offered a resources page (www.seattlecrc.org/BelharConfession) – being the congregation that originated the request for the CRC to adopt the Belhar. To truly consider and study the Belhar, congregations and individuals need to understand both the pros and the cons of adopting the Belhar in our context. Most of the resources put forth by the denomination tend to advocate for adoption. Below are listed some additional resources that provide a balance to that view. Granted, most of the resources below do not favor the Belhar Confession for various reasons, but since the CRC’s resources already lay out the benefits, it was thought best to focus on the cautions we need to consider. Dr. John Cooper (Calvin Seminary professor of philosophical theology): “Belhar Yes. Doctrinal Standard No!” – August, 2011 Dr. John Bolt (Calvin Seminary professor of theology) – ”Belhar Reflections”: www.crconnect.blogspot.com – scroll down through the older posts. There seems to be three of them there. Dr. Bolt also has a debate with Shiao Chong that is available here: http://www.christiancourier.ca/Belhar.html Rev.

  • Assurance and Good Works in the Three Forms of Unity Manuel Kuhs
    ASSURANCE AND GOOD WORKS IN THE THREE FORMS OF UNITY Manuel Kuhs Introduction And if the elect of God were deprived of this solid comfort, that they shall finally obtain the victory, and of this infallible pledge or earnest of eternal glory [in short, if they were deprived of assurance], they would be of all men the most miserable. Thus ends Canons V:10. It puts into most eloquent words the preciousness of the assurance of salvation to the child of God. When the child of God, who believes God’s Word, and who believes in the sinfulness of the world, the com- ing judgment and the wrath of God against sin, doubts his own assurance, he thus doubts whether God loves him, and seriously considers the possibility that God is set against him with all His might and being, and will throw him into the eternal fires of hell. And as such, the child of God who has no assur- ance is “of all men the most miserable.” On the other hand, the believer who is assured of God’s eternal, immutable, omnipotent love for him can and does count everything else as “dung” in comparison with this knowledge (Phil. 3:8). In short, without assurance all Christian doctrine with everything God has done for His people through Christ is of absolutely no benefit to God’s children here on earth. For this reason, the doctrine of assurance, and the question of how this assurance is obtained, ought to be very important to each believer, especially because our confessions teach “that believers in this life have to struggle with various carnal doubts, and that under grievous temptations they are not always sensible of this full assurance of faith and certainty of persevering” (Canons V:11).
