Confessing Church Movement Resolution
Adopted by FPC of Pardeville Session on 6/20/01
The session of First Presbyterian Church, Pardeeville, WI, The John Knox Presbytery, meeting this 20th day of June, 2001 joins faithful believers throughout the Church in affirming the following points as found in
our Book of Confession:
- That Jesus Christ alone is Lord of all and the way of salvation.
- That holy Scripture is the triune God's revealed Word, the Church's only infallible rule of faith and life.
- That God's people are called to holiness in all aspects of life (and God's standards for holy life have not been preempted by cultural changes).
This includes honoring the sanctity of marriage between a man and a woman, the only relationship within which sexual activity is appropriate.
We therefore announce our commitment to the "Confessing Church Movement within the PC (USA)" and we implore all Presbyterians who share these historic Christian convictions to:
- Renew their individual commitments to the above convictions.
- Urge their session and presbytery to affirm these convictions and to declare that they will not ordain, install, or employ in any ministry position any person who will not affirm them.
- Urge the General Assembly to instruct the General Assembly Council to require that all program personnel uphold these convictions and ensure that these convictions are followed faithfully in all programs and
policies of the Presbyterian Church (USA).
