It spread into See also:England and See also:America, but is now practically See also:extinct. Glas dissented from the See also:Westminster See also:Confession only in his views as to the spiritual nature of the See also:- CHURCH
- CHURCH (according to most authorities derived from the Gr. Kvpcaxov [&wµa], " the Lord's [house]," and common to many Teutonic, Slavonic and other languages under various forms—Scottish kirk, Ger. Kirche, Swed. kirka, Dan. kirke, Russ. tserkov, Buig. cerk

church and the functions of the See also:civil See also:magistrate. But his son-in-See also:law See also:Robert See also:Sandeman added a distinctive See also:doctrine as to the nature of faith which is thus stated on his tombstone: " That the See also:bare See also:death of Jesus See also:Christ without a thought or See also:deed on the See also:part of See also:man, is sufficient to See also:present the See also:chief of sinners spotless before See also:God."

James See also:Hervey, the author of Theron and See also:Aspasia, he maintained that justifying faith is a See also:simple assent to the divine testimony concerning Jesus Christ, differing in no way in its See also:character from belief in any See also:ordinary testimony. In their practice the Glasite churches aimed at a strict conformity with the See also:primitive type of See also:Christianity as understood by them. Each See also:congregation had a See also:plurality of elders, pastors or bishops, who were chosen according to what were believed to be the instructions of See also:Paul, without regard to previous See also:education or present occupation, and who enjoy a perfect equality in See also:- OFFICE (from Lat. officium, " duty," " service," a shortened form of opifacium, from facere, " to do," and either the stem of opes, " wealth," " aid," or opus, " work ")
office. To have been married a second See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O.

time disqualified for ordination, or for continued See also:tenure of the office of See also:bishop. In all the See also:action of the church unanimity was considered to be necessary; if any member differed in See also:opinion from the See also:rest, he must either surrender his See also:judgment to that of the church, or be shut out from its communion. To join in See also:prayer with any one not a member of the See also:denomination was regarded as unlawful, and even to eat or drink with one who had been excommunicated was held to be wrong. The See also:Lord's Supper was observed weekly; and between forenoon and afternoon service every See also:Sunday a love feast was held at which every member was required to be present. Mutual exhortation was practised at all the meetings for divine service, when any member who had the See also:gift of speech (xhpevµa) was allowed to speak. The practice of washing one another's feet was at one time observed; and it was for a See also:long time customary for each See also:brother and See also:sister to receive new members, on See also:admission, with a See also:holy See also:kiss. " Things strangled " and " See also:blood " were rigorously abstained from; the See also:lot was regarded as sacred; the See also:accumulation of See also:wealth they held to be unscriptural and improper, and each member considered his See also:property as liable to be called upon at any time to meet the wants of the poor and the necessities of the church. Churches of this See also:- ORDER

Their exclusiveness in practice, neglect of education for the See also:ministry, and the antinomian tendency of their doctrine contributed to their See also:dissolution. Many Glasites joined the See also:general See also:body of Scottish
Congregationalists, and the sect may now be considered extinct. The last of the Sandemanian churches in America ceased to
exist in 189o.
