- According to Second London Confession (2LCF) 26.14, how should local churches relate to each other?
- What does mean for churches to hold communion together?
- How can churches in formal association help each other when difficulties, differences, or disturbances arise?
- Practically speaking, how should churches “meet to consider, and give their advice in or about that matter in difference…”
- When the messengers consider an issue and give their advice, who should the avise be reported to?
- What does our confession mean when it says, “howbeit these messengers assembled, are not intrusted with any church-power properly so called; or with any jurisdiction over the churches themselves, to exercise any censures either over any churches or persons; or to impose their determination on the churches or officers.”
- This paragraph contains the phrase, “according to the mind of Christ.” What does this phrase mean? Why is this such an important principle? Hint: see 2LCF 26.4.
