Faithful and Unfaithful Ministry Contrasted 1 of 3 (Micah #6)

Describes from Scripture the characteristics and beliefs that attend a faithful ministry (or that will be seen in a faithful minister). Shows how both faithful ministry and magistracy are integral to Reformation, as exemplified in the two witnesses (or two olive trees) of Scripture (Rev. 11:3,4).

Gives examples of faithfulness from Calvin and from Andrew Melville (in his courageous rebuke to King James). Also demonstrates that classic Protestant position (cf. 'Proof That the Church is Often Obscured' by Francis Turretin, http://www.swrb.com/newslett/actualnls/ChuObsc.htm or pages 47-57 in Turretin's Institutes of Elenctic Theology, volume 3) that truth is often in the minority, residing in a faithful and despised remnant (during the period of the great apostasy in which we now live) -- contrary to the lies of the Romish harlot concerning the splendor of the visible church.
