PREDISTINATION REJECTED
The General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in the United States has voted to omit a section of its confession of faith which read: “By the decree of God, for the manifestation of His glory, some men and angels are predestined unto everlasting life and others fore-ordained to everlasting death.” This doctrine, notes the “Christian Science Monitor,” has been a source of fear and discouragement to those who read it as teaching the futility of individual effort. It is well that such a misconception should give way to a truer sense of God's love and justice.
