Q

Episcopalianism

A

Bishops have the authority in the church. 3 offices: Archbishop/Bishop, Elders, Deacons

20
Q

Presbyterianism

A

Elders have authority over the church. 2 offices: Ruling Elders/Teaching Elders, Deacons

21
Q

Congregationalism

A

The congregants hold the authority, with the offices of elder (pastor) and deacon. Each congregation has it own authority; no outsider can tell it what to do

22
Q

Elder/Pastor/Overseer

A

One of two offices. List of qualifications in 1 Tim 3 and in Titus 1. Often overlooked: desires office and not quarrelsome. Consider: patterns of life vs. once-for-all standards

23
Q

Plurality of Eldership

A

Elders always mentioned in the plural in Scripture. Elders need their own shepherds for support and accountability

24
Q

Complementarianism

A

The office of elder is reserved for men. Both are made in God’s image and equal in worth, but they are designed for complementary roles.

25
Q

Egalitarianism

A

Since men and women are equal, they may both hold the office of elder.

26

The word means service, the function of a deacon, to take care of the people. Could be men or women.

32

Ordinances and Sacraments

A

We hold to two - baptism and the Lord’s Supper - as opposed to the Catholic seven

33

The first ordinance instituted by Jesus given to the church in which new believers are to be submerged in water in God’s name. A visual sign of union with Christ in death and resurrection (new life)

39
Q

WWW the Lord’s Supper

A

Baptized believers, remembrance-communion-hope, when the local church comes together

40
Q

Transubstantiation

A

Catholic. Change in substance to the literal body and blood of Jesus. Communion is the repeated sacrifice of Jesus mass after mass

41
Q

Consubstantiation/Sacramental Union

A

Real presence in the substance; union with the body and real eating and drinking of Christ, but denies physical change in substance.

42
Q

Spiritual Presence View

A

Denies the physical presence of Jesus, but sees a unique spiritual presence. Emphasize participation in Christ, Jesus as the bread of life and nourishment to the soul, true communion rather than a mere memorial, spiritual nourishment of souls of believers, tridirectional understanding in past and present and future

43
Q

Mere Memorial View

A

Tangible sign of past reality. To be remembered, it must be absent. Ordinance but not sacrament (which means mystery)

44
Q

Totally Open Communion

A

Anyone and everyone is included in the Lord’s Supper (largely dead in theory, reviving in practice as people refrain from addressing the limits that should be placed on it)

45
Q

Open Communion

A

Any Christians in the world

46
Q

Close Communion

A

Baptized believers may take communion

47
Q

Closed Communion

A

Communion reserved for members of the local church where it is being served
