It always begins by skulking, and assuming a disguise. Its advocates, when together, boast of great improvements, and congratulate one another on having gone greatly beyond the ‘old dead orthodoxy,’ and on having left behind many of its antiquated errors: but when taxed with deviations from the received faith, they complain of the unreasonableness of their accusers, as they ‘differ from it only in words.’ This has been the standing course of errorists ever since the apostolic age. Samuel Miller, Introductory essay, The Articles of the Synod of Dort (1841).

As soon as it looks as though Wilkins will be put on trial, he leaves. In any case, he can no longer bear the name of “Machen,” since Machen faced his trial.

| |  I find it amusing that Wilkins tries to make it look like he reached out to the PCA when in reality he was vindicated by his Presbytery and never charged. When did he every try to do this? This is what typically happens, people run when they think they will have to face discipline. Wilkins on one hand sounds so willing to submit to discipline but then he leaves the PCA. This does not sound very conciliatory to me.

Why didn't he join the CREC long ago instead of causing all this trouble? |
