| | PRESBYTERIANISM, POLITICS, AND LUNACY: |
| | Scottish presbyterians were, to English conformists, living examples of the argument that presbyterianism was inherently subversive. | | | Moreover to accept that the Church of England was a desolation would be virtually handing the pass to the separatists, presbyterians who had already come to that conclusion and as a result left the church as a false church, to the anger and embarrassment of the presbyterians left behind. | | | On the one side were increasingly vocal we-are-what-you-should-be separatists rubbing the ineffectuality of the presbyterians in their faces and, by their unquestionable roots in presbyterianism, sinking presbyterian claims to respectability. |

| | Likewise, Presbyterians are generally sticklers for church polity. | | | The early creeds of the Presbyterian and Reformed churches assume a high regard for the ordained ministry of the Church, from the function of pastors to the means of grace, as well as an adherence to correct forms in liturgy and polity. | | | Yet, the Presbyterian commitment to liberty of conscience, while admirable, is at odds with the equally laudable Presbyterian desire for the unity of the Church. |

| | The Decline of American Presbyterianism |
| | With respect to Presbyterian government, the Northern Assembly followed Hodge in his erroneous notions on ecclesiastical polity; and some of these views laid the foundation for the centralized bureaucracy which the liberals used to capture the denomination after the turn of the century. | | | North's account divides American Presbyterians into three categories: (1.) judicialists, who defended the objective and doctrinal nature of the Christian faith; (2.) experientialists, who were less concerned about doctrine, provided a man exhibited an experiential profession of Christianity; (3.) power religionists, who wanted to harness the church to serve the interests of liberalism. | | | In many "conservative" American Presbyterian churches, the right to vote is extended even to youthful members (teenagers) who have been admitted as communicants; and attempts by congregations to institute age restrictions have been overturned by higher church courts. |

| | The second great principle of Presbyterianism is, that presbyters who minister in word and doctrine are the highest permanent officers of the Church. | | | I propose to occupy the hour devoted to this address in an attempt to unfold the principles of that system of Church polity which we, as Presbyterians, hold to be laid down in the word of God. | | | As then presbyters are all of the same rank, and as they exercise their power in the government of the Church, in connection with the people, or their representatives, this of necessity gives rise to Sessions in our individual congregations, and to Presbyteries, Synods, and Assemblies, for the exercise of more extended jurisdiction. |

| | Each Presbyterian congregation was governed by its session of elders, each session was subordinate to provincial presbyteries, and these were, in their turn, subordinate to the General Assembly of the Church. | | | The Church of Scotland ("the kirk") adopted a fully Presbyterian system of church government in 1690, but the government successfully avoided the imposition of a Presbyterian theocracy. | | | During the eighteenth century the Church, less and less severely Calvinistic, was challenged on one side by the Episcopalians and on the other by the remnants of extreme Presbyterianism. |

| | JOHN WITHERSPOON AND CORRUPTED AMERICAN PRESBYTERIANISM |
| | While Witherspoon and many of his American Presbyterian descendants do not carry some of their humanistic pre-suppositions to their logical conclusion, and hence preserve various aspects (and sometimes very important aspects) of the historic reformed faith, they leave America with a corrupted version of Presbyterianism. | | | Although certain leniencies encouraged by the Scottish Enlightenment had offended his orthodox Presbyterianism, Witherspoon introduced to Princeton, and through it to other institutions, some of the more advanced ideas of that movement. | | | It would be unfair to hold John Witherspoon solely responsible for the corruption of American Presbyterianism. |
