CHAPTER IX. On the Church.
§ 47. The essence of the church pp. 1-59. The community of those who partake of Christ and his benefits bears the name of the church, which finds its analogies in the pagan religions and was prepared in the O. Test. 1, but in the proper sense was nevertheless founded only in the days of the N.
T. 2. After the apostolic time it soon developed into a catholic, visible, infallible, hierarchical institute of salvation 3, so that reformation was urgently necessary. Luther, Zwingli and Calvin brought this about, each in his own way 4, but on the left and right the concept of the church was falsified by rationalism and mysticism, so that even now, in spite of many attempts at restoration, it suffers from great confusion 5. The name which the church bears already indicates it as an assembly of Christian believers, and Scripture sets this, in all manner of ways, under all manner of images, especially also by what it says concerning the communion of saints, in the clearest light 6. As such it can be taken in a broader and narrower sense
(ecclesia generalis, triumphans, militans, universalis, nationalis, particularis). But never does it, according to its idea, include the unbelievers, even though these are also on earth always present in the church 7. Nor is it to be defined as an assembly of praedestinati, perfecti, communicantes, vocati, baptizati, but as an assembly of believers, which has both a visible and an invisible side. Visible and invisible church are therefore not two churches, are not equal to the circle of unbelievers and believers in the church, nor to the church as institute and as organism, but are two sides of the same church 8. Marks of the church are not the 15 notae
which Ballarminus gives 9, but the Word of God, which is administered and confessed in preaching, sacrament, confession, life, and is wrongly rejected on the Roman side 10. For even if with this mark the possibility of great schism and division of the churches is given, Rome too cannot [550] prevent this, and the pluriformity of the church, however sinful and painful on the one hand also, nevertheless on the other hand includes a blessing 11.
In accordance therewith, the properties of the church, unity, holiness, catholicity, apostolicity, imperishableness and infallibility, have with us a different sense than with Rome 12.
§ 48. The government of the church pp. 59-131. The church is inconceivable without government and has therefore also always had a government. It was always at the same time institute and organism 1, both in the O. and in the N. Test. The apostleship is especially a strong proof for the institutional character of the church; and to this office there was added that of the evangelists and prophets, while Peter among the apostles was primus inter pares 2, and later that of ruling and teaching elders and of deacons 3. This aristocratic-presbyterial church government after the apostolic time soon passed over into a monarchical-episcopal, which still prevails in many churches, and at Rome into a papal church government, which in the declaration of the infallibility of the pope drew its consequence
4. Both these forms of church government, however, are in conflict with the doctrine of the H. S. concerning the relation of clergy and laity, concerning the episcopate, concerning the apostleship, concerning Peter's primacy, and furthermore also with the oldest testimonies of the church 5. The opposition against the Roman hierarchy brought many to rejection of all government of the church, but this too contradicts Scripture, which ascribes to the church a government of its own. Hence the Reformed have maintained this in its
distinctness from the political power 6. For Christ is the only head of the congregation, both of the local and of all churches together. He pours out his gifts into it, anoints all as prophets, priests and kings 7, and furthermore institutes various offices, which are not the organ of the congregation, but derive their authority from Christ, and which are obtained in the way of vocation, examination and ordination 8. These offices have indeed been arbitrarily increased in the church and changed in character, but are two, respectively three in number (teaching and ruling elders and deacons).
§ 49. The power of the church pp. 132-192. The church, like the state, arose only after sin, and was gradually more clearly distinguished from the state. Even in Israel both, though closely united, were not one 1, and in the N. T. Christ gave to his church a power which, by its spiritual character, differs essentially from that of the civil authority 2. This spiritual power of the church, however, degenerated at Rome into a juridical, coercive power, which, in contrast with the Caesareopapism of the Greek church, subjects all spheres of life, including that of the state, to itself and makes them subservient 3, and culminates in the plena et suprema potestas of the pope.
This power, specifically the infallibility of the pope, however, not only finds no support in Scripture, but is also in itself indeterminate, unfounded, in conflict with the [551] episcopate and antichristian 4. The Reformation therefore unanimously rejected this power, but again diverged, insofar as Luther and Calvin judged differently concerning confession, concerning presbyterate and discipline, concerning the relation of ecclesiastical and secular power. The distinction of these latter two powers in the centuries after the Reformation passed more and more into a, at least relative, separation 5. Now, however, it is not open to any doubt that Christ has bestowed upon his church a power which has its own origin, organ, nature,
and goal, and is equally misconstrued by Romanism and Anabaptism. This power of the church is threefold 6, namely, in the first place potestas docendi, that is, the power to preach, to explain, to defend, to confess the word of God 7, in the second place potestas gubernationis, that is, the power to govern the congregation 8 and to exercise discipline 9, and in the third place potestas misericordiae, that is, the power to show mercy to the wretched 10. This power comes together in the local church in the consistory and for multiple churches in the broader assemblies, which are already of ancient date and are necessary and good for the welfare of the churches 11. With this power the church stands in the world independent and free, but serving it with the goods which Christ bestows upon her 12.
CHAPTER X. On the Means of Grace.
§ 50. The Word pp. 193-215. In the distribution of his grace Christ makes use of means, which by mysticism and rationalism are wrongly unacknowledged, by Rome are wrongly conceived in an absolute sense, but by the Reformation, specifically by Calvin, were restored to their proper value 1. To these means of grace belongs in the first place the word of God, which also works outside the official ministry 2, and as a means of grace is to be distinguished into law and gospel 3. This distinction, however, is no irreconcilable antithesis, as antinomianism teaches, and likewise no essential identity, as nomism wishes, for both differ in principle but nevertheless in preaching always go together 4. And likewise the word as a means of grace is neither to be separated from the working of the Spirit nor also to be identified with it. The Holy Spirit works not sine verbo nor per verbum but cum verbo 5.
§ 51. The Sacraments pp. 215-252. The second means of grace is the sacrament. The name does not occur in Scripture, was at first customary for all kinds of ecclesiastical acts and ceremonies, and was only in the Middle
Ages limited to a set of seven ceremonies. The doctrine of the sacraments, too, was first worked out by scholasticism and exhibited, the longer [552] the greater deviation from Scripture 1. For Rome, indeed, understands by the grace communicated through the sacrament only the gratia sanctificans, and detaches the sacrament from the word and likewise from faith. The Reformation rejected these errors but nevertheless, in the persons of Luther,
Zwingli, and Calvin, advanced a different conception, which divided the
churches and, despite the weakening of the significance of the sacraments by mysticism and rationalism, even today causes church and theology to diverge 2. Although the name of sacrament does not occur in Scripture, it is therefore not yet to be rejected. Nor is the treatment of the general doctrine of the sacraments before that of baptism and the Lord's Supper to be disapproved, because thereby the difference in conception clearly comes to light and the error is easily perceived. According to Scripture the sacraments are signs and seals of God's grace and at the same time acts of confession of faith 3. As visible signs and seals they indicate and confirm the invisible grace, bestowed by God in Christ, that is, the same grace which is also offered in the word, be it also in another manner 4. The connection between sign and thing signified is not physical, corporeal, local, but a connection of relation, which is brought about by the word of institution, and, though of a spiritual nature, is nevertheless objective and real 5. Therefore the sacraments also do not work ex opere operato but presuppose in the recipient faith, which does not detract from their objectivity and leaves their value unimpaired 6. The number of the sacraments amounts not to seven, but only to two, yet these two in value weigh against Rome's set of seven 7.
§ 52. Baptism pp. 252-299. In the O. T. prepared by circumcision, baptism was, by Divine command, first administered by John to the Jews 1. This baptism of John does not differ essentially from Christian baptism, but was taken over by Jesus and, before his ascension, extended to all peoples, as sign and seal of the forgiveness of sins and of incorporation into Christ and his church 2. After the time of the apostles it was already soon administered with the Trinitarian formula, conceived as a mysterium of initiation, surrounded with all kinds of ceremonies and represented more and more as
magical in its operation. According to Rome, by the intimate connection of sign and thing signified ex opere operato, besides a character indelebilis, it bestows sanctifying grace, which delivers from all guilt, punishment, and stain of sin 3. The Lutherans taught a similar close union of the water of baptism with Divine grace, and at least in the case of children let regeneration come about through baptism, but the Reformed maintained that baptism, as a sacrament, also in the case of children presupposed faith and rested on the foundation of the covenant of grace. But this covenant was increasingly externalized; and rationalism and [553] mysticism so greatly failed to recognize the value of baptism that in more recent times various attempts to maintain the objective character of baptism have been tried 4. Scripture speaks only of the baptism of adults, and teaches clearly that it is instituted only for believers and may be administered after confession. The sign in baptism is water, in which the person being baptized is immersed or with which he is sprinkled 5. This water becomes a sacrament through the word of institution, which in Scripture is not intended as a formula but nevertheless was soon applied as such in the church, and brings about between sign and thing signified indeed a real but no physical and local union. The benefits of baptism are in the main forgiveness and regeneration 6. To those who have a right to baptism also belong the children of believers. This right was, over against the opponents of infant baptism, argued in various ways 7, and rests on many scriptural grounds 8. The administrator of baptism is Christ, who in that makes use of men, specifically of the teachers; has it administered in the public assembly of the congregation; at undetermined times; in the case of infant baptism, in the presence of the parents; to all persons who can still be reckoned to belong within the circle of the covenant 9.
§ 53. The Lord's Supper pp. 299-352. The second sacrament is the Lord's Supper, which in the O. T. was prefigured and prepared by the Passover 1, and in the N. T. was instituted by Christ, as a sign and seal of communion in his offering on the cross 2. This Supper soon became the center of Christian worship and was gradually, especially since scholasticism, conceived as an unbloody offering of the body and blood of Christ, to which communion is subordinate 3. The Reformation did indeed unanimously reject this Roman doctrine, but in the positive exposition of the doctrine of the Lord's Supper it diverged very widely. Luther, Zwingli, Calvin each advanced a distinct view, which, after them modified and abandoned, nevertheless continues to the present day 4. The names for the Lord's Supper are very numerous in number, but the best is that of holy supper or meal of the Lord, because it is an essential meal with Christ as host, the ministers as his servants, with bread and wine for food and drink, in the first period connected with an ordinary meal, to be celebrated at a table and not on an altar 5. But this meal has a spiritual significance, is not merely a memorial meal or an act of confession, but an exercise of communion through faith with the crucified
Christ. Indeed Christ is not physically and locally present in the signs, for transand consubstantiation are both excluded for many scriptural and natural reasons 6. But nevertheless that communion with Christ in the Lord's Supper is objective and real, yet in such a way that it on the side of the recipient presupposes faith and precisely thereby, as communion in [554] the person and in the benefits of Christ, is strengthened 7. Just as baptism, so also this Lord's Supper is instituted only for the congregation, and indeed for baptized and living believers, who have made confession of their faith and are not barred by the church in doctrine and life 8.
CHAPTER XI. On the Last Things.
§ 54. The Intermediate State pp. 353-422. All religions contain a certain eschatology and teach specifically the immortality of the soul; and philosophy has many times adopted this latter doctrine 1. The proofs adduced for the immortality of the soul have, over against unbelief, no compelling force, but are nevertheless important as testimonies and justifications of faith 2. Scripture also indeed already contains in the O. T. the doctrine of the immortality, as its representation of Sheol clearly proves, but it adds thereto the much richer revelation, that true life is obtained and enjoyed only in communion with God, who triumphs over death and grave
3. The later Jewish literature did not do justice to this revelation, but the N.
Test. brings out even better than the O. Test. that death is a punishment of sin, that believers through Christ become partakers of a life which is exalted far above death, and that they, although after dying in a certain sense belonging to the realm of the dead, nevertheless immediately enter into another state than the unbelievers 4. The Christian church at first remained with these few data of Scripture concerning the intermediate state, but devoted more attention to it, in proportion as the return of Christ tarried, and gradually came to the acceptance of five receptacula on the other side of the grave, among which especially purgatory is of significance for the intermediate state 5. The Reformation rejected this doctrine, but soon saw all manner of opinions about the intermediate state arise, such as that of a provisional state, of a purgatorium, of a sleep of the soul, of a certain corporeality of the souls, of transmigration of souls and continuing
purification, of limbus patrum, limbus infantum and possible conversion after death 6. Scripture contains little about the intermediate state, because it, while assuming the immortality of the soul, especially wishes to make known the new life which Christ has brought to light and without which human life here already on earth and especially hereafter in Sheol loses its content and value 7. The gaps which Scripture leaves open in our conception of the intermediate state may not be filled in with human conjectures, such as the sleep of the soul 8, the corporeality of the souls after death 9, the continuing intercourse of the dead with the living, which then [555] brings with it mass-offering, intercession, veneration of saints, conjuration of the dead and cult of relics, 10. Of the place of the intermediate state little is to be said, but certain it is that immediately at death a different state enters for believers and unbelievers, in which no change through conversion, as many now think, is any longer possible 11.
Nor is the state of the deceased believers to be conceived as a purgatory, for according to the teaching of Scripture they come immediately after death into heaven with Christ. Although therefore there can be no question of a veneration of the saints and of an intercession for the departed 12, there nevertheless remains a communion of the triumphant with the militant church. The blessed in heaven also are not perfect without us; they look out longingly for the parousia of Christ, and are also not exalted above all space, time, and activity 13.
§ 55. The second coming of Christ pp. 422-481. Just as an end comes to the life of the individual human being, so also to that of humanity and world. Science confirms that 1, the religions generally cherish this expectation, and the Old Test. prophecy proclaims at the end of this dispensation the establishment of the Messianic kingdom, which, rich in
spiritual and material blessings, shall extend to the ends of the earth 2. The O. T. describes in this Messianic kingdom no intermediate period but a final state, but the later Jewish literature began to make a distinction between a preceding Messianic kingdom and a subsequently following Kingdom of God and thus caused the doctrine of chiliasm to arise, which was also adopted by many Christians, especially in times of persecution and oppression 3. Although agreeing in some main points, the Chiliasts are nevertheless very much in conflict with one another and all of them make themselves guilty of great arbitrariness in the interpretation of Scripture 4.
Already the O. Test. itself provides a better explanation of prophecy than chiliasm offers us, and the N. Test. regards itself as the spiritual and thus true fulfilment of the O. Test. 5. But not only is chiliasm in conflict with this main thought of Scripture, but further, also with many other data, especially with the continuous expectation of the N. T. concerning the Jewish people 6, which is not contradicted by a few passages, especially
Rom. 11:11-32, 7. Further, the N. T. nowhere expects a state of glory and honour for the church of Christ in this dispensation, but rather increasing persecution and oppression, to which only the single second coming of Christ puts an end 8. Indeed, in Rev. 20 there is mention of a thousand-year binding of Satan. But this chapter actually contains nothing of all that is essentially proper to chiliasm, any more than other passages of Scripture 9.
And the events, related in Rev. 20, do not fall chronologically after those of the previous capita, but run parallel with them. They intend to sketch for us the [556] end of the cultureless peoples, just as the previous chapters did with respect to those nations in whose midst the gospel is preached and thus the anti-Christian power can develop 10. To world history, therefore, Christ, to whom as Son of man the judgment has been given, by his second coming
puts an end 11. The time of that second coming is not determined in the N.
T., although its signs already begin with the fall of Jerusalem. And equally sober is Scripture in the description of the manner in which that second coming takes place 12.
§ 56. The Consummation of the ages pp. 481-529. With the return of Christ begins the Day of the Lord, the duration of which cannot be determined. The first event that then takes place is the resurrection of the dead 1, in which the identity of the resurrection body with the body that died is preserved 2, 3. Then follows the judgment, which extends over all human beings and angels and over all their thoughts, words, and deeds 4.
The place to which the ungodly are referred and suffer eternal punishments is the gehenna. The eternity of the hellish punishment has indeed many times been contested on all manner of grounds and in turn replaced by the doctrine of hypothetical universalism, of the restoration of all things, or of conditional immortality 5. But it is contained in Scripture, and required by the nature of sin and divine justice, although it does not exclude very different degrees in its application 6. After the final judgment follows the renewal of the world, which consists not in any destruction of its substance but in a re-creation of its forma 7. This renewal of the world proves that salvation is to be conceived not exclusively as a heavenly but also as an earthly one 8, and comprises not only spiritual but also material blessings, both of which indeed begin here but are completed only in eternity.
Communion with God, which is the essence of future salvation and is enjoyed with both understanding and will 9, is heightened by the communion of the saints, whose number, even if it does not include all human beings and even if there is little to be said about the salvation of Heathens and children dying young, will nevertheless form a multitude that
no one can count 10, and which itself includes all manner of diversity of personality, gifts, reward, and activity 11.
