The unanimously adopted Statement I read to the media can be viewed on www.freepres.org
I do not intend to defend myself in future against people who do not even give their names. I do ask that common courtesy would be given to at least comment on what I did say.
Part reads as follows At this time of transition within our Presbytery we commit ourselves to be faithful in pursuing the vision that the Lord, through Dr Paisley, Dr Douglas, and other faithful men, have set before us.
We have therefore as a Presbytery rededicated ourselves to the Protestant Reformed Evangelical Faith and the distinctive principles and practice of the Free Presbyterian Church. We are unashamedly Protestant. We follow in the footsteps of the Reformers.
The Free in our name refers to our total disassociation from those major Presbyterian denominations of the world which have repudiated the historic Christian faith.
We reject the false teachings of Ecumenism, Roman Catholicism, Modernism and the Charismatic Movement.
As a denomination we are determined to remain standing without compromise for Christ and to vigorously oppose any betrayal of His Gospel and departure from the Biblical Faith.”
