Implicitly yes. The RPCI didn't cease to exist nominally, but its practice changed - continuing to associate with the unfaithful Scottish RP according to the addendum - if not the substance of its views - adopting the Scottish testimony but not the terms of communion according to Loughridge - and hence the RPNA refused to to recognize it as faithful. <BR/>Hope that helps. I am far from an expert on these matters. I largely joined the RPNA because it adhered to the original Standards and worship of the same, not on explicitly covenanting grounds or distinctives. <BR/>Bob S.RPVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09812675463969384709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6974152599160963369.post-14387281646830687652008-08-03T02:54:00.000-07:002008-08-03T02:54:00.000-07:00Sorry, my comment was not about Paul's Eastern Syn...Sorry, my comment was not about Paul's Eastern Synod, but the remnant majority synod, which, I understand, adopted in 1839/1840 the revised Scottish Testimony instead of the 1761 Testimony. My suggestion was that what Joe on CovRefClub was getting at was that it was this that led the RPNA to regard the RPCI as having ceased in 1839/1840.

Paul pretty much repudiated the modified Scottish Testimony and/or the AD&t of 1761 when he left the RPCI Synod it seems to me.

Is the idea that the RPCI ceased to exist because `Synod adopted the Testimony of the Scottish<BR/>Church' instead of the Act, Declaration, and Testimony of 1761? That makes sense.
