I'm not going to spell it out for you, but google will tell you what you need to know. There is also a book entitled 'When Justice Failed in Church and State'.

Funny how everyone loves the preaching and writing of Iain Murray but just ignore him on this vital matter.
Considering that the person in question is the principal and lecturer in the College, it is good to be informed about the issues. I think the majority Free Church present there case on their website.
It is as you say. My personal view is sympathy with the FCS (Continuing), and I find the case compelling. However, I am not going into details, naming names and dragging stuff up. For one thing, I could be sued.

The bottom line is, if someone is thinking of going under the supervision and authority of someone who has had such serious allegations made against them, they should be aware of this, and make up their minds on the matter, for or against, then act accordingly. Ignorance could be much regretted at a later stage.
Moderator ruling. This is wise; we are not going to rehash the FC/FCC split here and attending controversies.

The Regulative Principle: Samuel Miller gives a succinct statement of this principle when he writes that since the Scriptures are the “only infallible rule of faith and practice, no rite or ceremony ought to have a place in the public worship of God, which is not warranted in Scripture, either by direct precept or example, or by good and sufficient inference.”
