A MESSAGE /, rom the editor
Recently newspapers across w the land carried reports of a far-reaching decision made by the General Assembly of the U n i t e d Presbyterian Church. By a large maj ority, the Commissioners to the 171st General Assembly of the church voted to confirm the Reverend Dr. Theodore A. Gill as President of San Francisco Theological Semi nary. Dr. Gill is a former m a n a g i n g e d i t o r of the Christian Century, which is doubtless the outstanding modernistic magazine in the country today. According to the press re ports in an article in the ^ Christian Century of April 2, 1958, Dr. Gill had denied the virgin birth of Christ.

In the tension-packed clash, when the issue came to the floor of the General Assembly, the defenders of Dr. Gill loudly proclaimed that he had never denied the virgin birth of Christ. The issue could have been settled very easily if the eminent theologian had merely taken the plat form and stated categorically that he believed the doctrine of the virgin birth of Christ. But he refused to make such a statement. When Dr. Gill was ordained, as in the case with every ordained minister in the United Presbyterian Church, he answered in the affirmative the very first question of his ordination vows which is: "Do you believe the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments to be the Word of God, the only infallible rule of faith and practice?" And the second question, which he also solemnly answered in the affirmative, reads: "Do you sincerely receive and adopt the Confession of Faith of your church as containing the system of doctrine taught in the Holy Scriptures?" On the question of the virgin birth, the Westminister Con fession of Faith is absolutely clear and unmistakable. It reads in part, "The Son of God, the second person in the Trinity, being very and eternal God, of one substance and equal with the Father . . . was conceived by the power of the Holy Ghost in the womb of the virgin Mary of her substance. " But, now, this eminent theologian repudiates the doc trine of the virgin birth of Christ as well as the doctrine of the infallibility of the Word of God ! He passes over the virgin birth of Christ lightly, inferring that it is only mentioned two times in the Bible. The question naturally arises — how many times must a statement be repeated in the Bible before it is considered to be true? We who believe in the inerrancy of the Word of God believe that if a state ment is made only once in the pages of sacred Scripture it is just as true as if it were repeated a thousand times.
