Leithart may come under fire again!

Though Dr. Peter Leithart was effectively exonerated by the Standing Judicial Committee of the PCA in March, he may come under judicial scrutiny again after the General Assembly in June. Three PCA presbyteries have unanimously voted to overture the General Assembly to take original jurisdiction over the PNWP vs. Leithart case on the Federal Vision. They claim a mistrial because the prosecutor, former PCA TE Jason Stellman, converted to Roman Catholicism shortly after a negative verdict.

And, as this controversy picks up steam yet again, Dr. Leithart has decided to restate his views on baptism:

May the Lord bring peace and justice to His church.

  1. THEODORE BEZA’S CONFESSION (1560)
    44. The Third Point Is How Jesus Christ Is Joined with the Signs The thing signified (i.e., Jesus
    Christ with all His benefits) is always presented truly and without any fraud on God’s part (who is
    true in His promise), so that the sign and the thing signified are always knit together in this respect,
    i.e., God offers both the one and the other truly and not by virtue of the words pronounced (for it is
    sorcery to speak thus); nor by a natural and local communion, for the body of Jesus Christ is not a
    fantastic body, nor an invisible body which occupies no place

    “nor by the holiness of him who
    pronounces the words ordained of God or ministers the sacraments (for a son of man cannot make
    void the will of God), but by, the power of the Holy Ghost who works.”

    I guess this does not apply to honoring the pronouncements of an ecclesiastical court, then?
