Synopsis

Excerpt from The Whole Proceedings: Before the Presbytery of Dumbarton, and Synod of Glasgow and Ayr Mr. Campbell was settled in the parish of Row, in Sept. 1825; but it was not until the summer of 1827, that any offence appeared to have been taken at the matter of his teaching. At that period the chief peculiarity of his sermons seemed to be the strong statements they contained on the assurance of faith, and the connexion that exists between man's belief in the testimony of God and his consciousness of being in the condition of having passed from death to life. The doctrine of the love of God to every man, as declared in the death of Christ for all, though evidently implied in his sermons, was seldom broadly or pointedly stated, and did not appear to have that prominency and importance in his mind, which it afterwards assumed. Toward the close of the year 1828, it is believed in the month of December, the first attempt was made to bring the subject matter of Mr. Campbell's teaching under the consideration of the church courts. About this time, a petition, signed by a few individuals, was lodged with the presbytery of Dumbarton, in which a variety of charges were brought against Mr. C., and among others his having taught that there was no occasion for repentance - no such thing as a good hope through grace - that Christ was no lawgiver, &c. &c.

Excerpt from The Whole Proceedings: Before the Presbytery of Dumbarton, and Synod of Glasgow and Ayr

It being asked if all the memorialists were members of the church? One of the memorialists replied, I am in communion with the church, and we have all an interest in this business. We have families rising up, and we must look to ourselves and our families. This is not a private thing, -done in a corner: the ministers of the church, all around us, have taken it up. They have both written against these doctrines, and spoken against them from the pulpit, and have given them the name of Heresy.'
