| | | Machen on Presbyterianism
J. Gresham Machen: Quote:
"We cannot agree with those who say that although they are members of the
Presbyterian church, they "have not the slightest zeal to have the
Presbyterian church extended throughout the length and breadth of the
world." As for us, we hold the faith of the Presbyterian church, the great
Reformed faith that is set forth in the Westminster Confession, to be true;
and holding it to be true, we hold that it is intended for the whole world."

I found the quote that Machen was responding to cited in Crossed Fingers: How the Liberals Captured the Presbyterian Church by Gary North, Chap. 11 (he is quoting Robert E. Speer, Christianity and the Nations (New York: Revell, 1910), p. 332).
