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.

Cassettes by Greg Price
Covenanter Terms of Communion (19
FREE MP3s by Greg Price)
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."

"I have been systematically working through reading
the... Reformed CDs I purchased. I must say, there is nothing like them
available anywhere. It is the most amazing collection of works I know of in one
package to date...
The Puritan and Reformed material presented on these CDs is exceptional. I am
continually amazed at the depth and breadth of information in both collections,
and the rarity of works that I now have at my fingertips. You have done an
immeasurable service for the Kingdom of Christ in making these CDs available,
and every pastor and theologian should own them without question (they would be
foolhardy to pass them by) ... more"

"This collection of 62 CDs is a truly astounding
accomplishment. There is nothing like this available to the ordinary Christian
on the whole face of the earth. Now, for the first time ever, ordinary Christians can
have direct and near effortless access to the very cream of Puritan and
Reformed, as well as Covenanter, literature... What they used to say
of the Puritan John Flavel's preaching, can be said of these CDs: they are
