The Puritan Reformed Church maintains that a church cannot be truly and

and Covenant.
A. The Puritan Reformed Church of Edmonton unequivocally states that it is NOT necessary to swear the Solemn League and Covenant to be a truly constituted church (as to "being" or essence)

Bacon Bits:
Richard Bacon's Straw Man "Steelite Controversy" Torched By Faithful
Covenanters (Sometimes Called Cameronians, Steelites, etc.) by Greg
Price, Larry Birger, et al. (These short
"Bacon Bits" are not meant to be a full response to the sectarians in
Rowlett (who oppose the Covenanted Reformation and uniformity found in the
public subordinate standards and covenants emitted and upheld by the
Westminster Divines -- all which are agreeable to and based upon the alone
infallible standard, the Word of God). The full length response to Dick Bacon's
Defense Departed, by Greg Barrow, is outlined above. These
"Bacon Bits" merely cover some of the more obvious blunders, poor
scholarship and misrepresentations of Bacon, one of the chief malignants of our
day. It may also be interesting for the reader to note that though we had to be
informed of Bacon's attack upon our positions through a third party (as Bacon
never had the courage to send his attacks on us to us directly), we have always
responded directly to Dick Bacon. To this day Dick Bacon has not contacted us
directly to answer any of our responses to his unfounded charges.)
A Brief
Defence of Dissociation in The Present Circumstances (1996) by the
Session of the Puritan Reformed Church of Edmonton/Prince George (Explains why Christians should separate themselves
from those groups which deny biblical truth and its implications.)
A Letter of
Clarification, 27 October 1997 by Kevin Reed (Another response to the misrepresentations [this
time regarding Kevin Reed's "Testimony Against Prominent Errors"]
promoted by Richard Bacon and the those who follow him.)
A Brief
Narrative Respecting My Conflicts with FPCR by Kevin Reed (Dated January, 1998, Reed notes, "It is with
sadness that I set down the following account. I did not wish to write it. Even
after the passage of many years, the fresh recollection of the events described
in this narrative evokes grief. I take no pleasure in the ongoing controversy.
Nevertheless, recent attacks, issued by persons at First Presbyterian Church of
Rowlett [FPCR] (on their church web site) have made this response
necessary.")
Calvin, Close
Communion and the Coming Reformation (a book review of Alexander and
Rufus... by John Anderson [1862]) by Reg Barrow (Shows how
Calvin practiced close communion and how the biblical view of this ordinance is
intended to purify the individual, church and state. Refutes the Popish and
paedocommunion heresies [regarding this sacrament], as well as all views of
open communion. Also argues that Arminians, anti-paedobaptists,
anti-regulativists, and all those who openly violate the law of God [and are
unrepentant] should be barred from the Lord's table -- as a corrective measure
ordained of God for their recovery.)
Paleopresbyterianism
Versus Neopresbyterianism by Michael Wagner
Terms of
Ministerial and Christian Communion in the Reformed Presbyterian Church, and In
Our Day, In the Puritan Reformed Church; With Explanatory Dialogue (Including
"The Biblical and Logical Necessity of Uninspired Creeds")
by Larry Birger (This delightful dialogue,
between Hans [a paleopresbyterian] and Franz [a neo-turned-paleopresbyterian].
In the process, this enjoyable work sets forth in a very clear,
easy-to-understand way a number of the more controversial and misunderstood
teachings adopted by the PRC and promoted by SWRB in their return to the
biblical attainments of the Second, or Covenanted Reformation on the British
Isles. The conversation begins with "The Biblical and Logical Necessity of
Uninspired Creeds", where Hans shows Franz that Franz's rejection of uninspired
creeds is itself an uninspired creed. After several months of study Franz is
now interested in joining Hans' Covenanter church, but has been confused and
unsettled by the charges of his friend [a member of the RPCNA]. This RPCNA
friend alleges that Hans' church is a continuation of the "schism" of
the "Steelites", and that they are "basically Papists, putting
uninspired works on a par with the Bible and then abusing [their] church
authority by requiring faith in the church, rather than in the word of
God." Hans then goes through and explains pertinent aspects of each term
of communion, demonstrating that the RPCNA friend's charges and objections are
entirely inaccurate, vindicating in the process precious and vital truths of
the Reformation. This easy-reading and mild-mannered dialogue includes an index
of topics discussed and objections raised, and is an excellent
introduction to the true Covenanter position
[i.e. the position of the Westminster Assembly and the Church of Scotland during
the Second Reformation] and an effective antidote to the kinds of
unfounded slanders circulated by those who
are unwilling to see the truth. See also Birger's powerful testimony against
the PCA, Why the
PCA is Not a Duly Constituted Church and Why Faithful Christians Should
Separate from this Corrupted "Communion", and Reg Barrow's
thorough expose and refutation of Doug Wilson's many dangerous doctrines
[including an answer to charges of Anabaptism, a critique of Wilson's and many
modern Theonomists' false and anti-reformational view of civil government as it
expresses itself on the issue of pornography, an essay on Calvin's and the
Westminster Confession's views of the visible church, and more!] in Saul in the Cave of
Adullam: A Testimony Against the Fashionable Sub-Calvinism of Doug Wilson
[Editor of Credenda/Agenda Magazine]; and, for Classical
Protestantism and the Attainments of the Second Reformation. Barrow's
fifth reply to Wilson [found in Saul in the Cave] is an
especially devastating reply.
The Reformed
View of Schism by Andrew Clarkson.
(The Reformers often said "that to avoid schism we must separate."
This should give the perceptive reader some indication of how badly
misunderstood the biblical teaching regarding schism and separation (which
should be differentiated in many ways) has become in our day. Sadly, some of
the most anti-Reformed work on this subject has been written by contemporary
individuals, who, though calling themselves Reformed, "understanding
neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm" (1 Tim. 1:7). This excerpt
from Clarkson's Plain Reasons for Presbyterians Dissenting should
contribute much to correcting the promotion of unbiblical ecumenism and place
this doctrine back on its Scriptural foundation -- which was recovered during
the Reformation. Clarkson cites Beza, Rutherford, Gillespie, Dickson, Durham,
McWard (Rutherford's "disciple"), Marshal, Watson, Owen, Burroughs,
and many others, while defending the truth about schism. Objections brought
against the Reformation view of schism are also carefully answered. This is
probably the single best short treatment of this subject.)
Plain Reasons
for Presbyterians Dissenting from the Revolution Church of Scotland. Also,
Their Principles Concerning Civil Government, and the Difference Betwixt the
Reformation and Revolution Principles (1731) by Andrew Clarkson (The table of contents contained in this file can
serve as a kind of summary of second Reformation thought concerning the church,
state, separation, schism, worship, civil dissent, church planting, opposition
to idolatry and tyranny, and much more!)
Whether it
be lawful, just, and expedient, that the taking of the Solemn League and
Covenant be enjoined by the Parliament upon all persons in the kingdom under a
considerable penalty by George Gillespie (CHAPTER XVI. of "A Treatise of Miscellany
Questions," pp. 85-88 from The Works of George Gillespie
volume 2, Still Waters Revival Books reprint. Includes "Nine particulars
to be remembered for the right deducing and stating the matter of fact. - The
grounds and reasons of such an ordinance and appointment may be eleven. - Four
objections answered. - How this ordinance would not be tyranny over men's consciences.
- The covenant is no temporary obligation. - If such an ordinance to the army
be scandalum acceptum, then the not
making of it is scandalum datum.

FOR FURTHER STUDY:
Cassettes by Greg Price
Terms of Communion (19 cassettes for $39.95 US funds) This set explains the six "Terms of
Ministerial and Christian Communion in the Reformed Presbyterian Church."
These terms represent a high water mark concerning covenanted Reformation
attainments thus far in history. They are thoroughly Scriptural (as this set
proves) and should be adopted by all Churches as the minimum standard by which
people are admitted to to the Lord's Supper. The "rare bound
photocopy" An Explanation and Defense of the Terms of Communion...
by the Reformed Presbytery also covers much the same ground, adding some
arguments not found in this tape set, but generally containing less detail. McKnight's
"rare bound photocopy" Concerning Close Communion is also very helpful in regard to the general
subject of the Scriptural propriety of a close communion and explicit, open,
honest, and biblical terms for fencing the table of the Lord. Separate sections
of this cassette series can be purchased individually as outlined below.
Terms of Communion: The Word of God ($5.96, 2 cassettes)
Explains and defends the first term of communion, which is "An
acknowledgement of the Old and New Testament to be the Word of God, and the
alone infallible rule of faith and practice." Covers the attributes of
Scripture, including the necessity, inspiration, authority, sufficiency,
perspicuity, perpetuity, etc. of the Word of God. Also deals with principles of
interpretation (hermeneutics) and how we know that God's Word is His Word, and
thus can be trusted as the absolute, inerrant, infallible and inspired truth.
Touches on higher criticism and the debate over bible version, upholding the
Textus Receptus (i.e. the ecclesiastical or received text) and the King James
Version. A fine defense of Sola Scriptura which also touches on how
"extra-biblical" terms of communion are not only required by
Scripture itself, but are an inescapable necessity. Price is careful to point
out the difference between the primary, infallible standard of Scripture and
those uninspired subordinate standards, which nevertheless bind the conscience
whenever they say the same thing as Scripture. A great introduction to God's
Word that comes with our highest recommendation.
Terms of Communion: The Westminster Standards ($14.90, 5 cassettes)
Explains and defends the second term of communion, which is "That the
whole doctrine of the Westminster Confession of Faith, and the Catechisms,
Larger and Shorter, are agreeable unto, and founded upon the Scriptures."
Gives a summary of the Westminster standards, its history and demonstrates why
these standards are agreeable to the word of God.
Terms of Communion: Presbyterian Worship and Government ($5.96, 2
cassettes)
Explains and defends the third term of communion, which is "That
Presbyterial Church Government and manner of worship are alone of divine right
and unalterable; and that the most perfect model of these as yet attained, is
exhibited in the Form of Government and Directory for Worship, adopted by the
Church of Scotland in the Second Reformation."
Terms of Communion: Covenants and Covenanting ($20.86, 7 cassettes)
Explains and defends the fourth term of communion, which is "That public,
social covenanting is an ordinance of God, obligatory on churches and nations
under the New Testament; that the National Covenant and the Solemn League are
an exemplification of this divine institution; and that these Deeds are of
continued obligation upon the moral person; and in consistency with this, that
the Renovation of these Covenants at Auchensaugh, Scotland, 1712 was agreeable
to the word of God." This is the best taped information you will find on
covenanting anywhere!
Terms of Communion: The Martyrs and Historic Testimony ($5.96, 2
cassettes)
Explains and defends the fifth term of communion, which is "An approbation
of the faithful contendings of the martyrs of Jesus, especially in Scotland,
against Paganism, Popery, Prelacy, Malignancy and Sectarianism; immoral civil
governments; Erastian tolerations and persecutions which flow from them; and of
the Judicial Testimony emitted by the Reformed Presbytery in North Britain,
1761 (i.e. The Act, Declaration and Testimony for the Whole of Our
Covenanted Reformation--RB) with supplements from the Reformed
Presbyterian Church; as containing a noble example to be followed, in
contending for all divine truth, and in testifying against all corruptions
embodied in the constitutions of either churches or states."
Terms of Communion: The Practice of Truth ($2.98, 1 cassette)
Explains and defends the sixth term of communion, which is "Practically
adorning the doctrine of God our Savior by walking in all His commandments and
ordinances blamelessly."
