Sermon On the Mediatorial Reign of Christ From ARP/RPCNA Concurrent Synod

[Backwoods Presbyterian]

At the link you will find an excellent sermon on the Mediatorial Reign of Christ by Rev. Dr. Rick Gamble at a Joint Worship, Wednesday June 10, 2015, during our concurrent Synod meetings back in June.

Highly recommend spending time with it.

The "Christological understanding of the State" was the Erastian view, and opposed by covenanters such as Samuel Rutherford and George Gillespie. The Associate Presbytery in Scotland maintained the opposition of the covenanters to Erastianism, and therefore rejected the Reformed Presbyterian doctrine that State authority is derived from Jesus Christ as Mediator.

For a traditional reformed interpretation, one might consult John Brown of Wamphray's commentary on Romans 13, which does not have any problem understanding what is meant by "conscience sake."
