14.6. 13-6

13-6. Ministers Transferring into the Presbytery a. A Minister seeking admission to a Presbytery from another Presbytery in the Presbyterian Church in America shall be examined on Christian experience (including personal character and family management), and also as to his views in theology, the Sacraments, and church government. If the examining Presbytery does not accept the Minister seeking admission, it shall record this fact along with its rationale, if one is adopted, in the minutes, and shall communicate its rationale to his current Presbytery. b. If an applicant comes from another denomination, the Presbytery shall examine him thoroughly as required by the trials listed in BCO 21-4 and require him to answer in the affirmative the questions put to candidates at their ordination. Ordained ministers from other denominations being considered by Presbyteries for reception may come under the extraordinary provisions set forth in BCO 21-4. c. In every case, Presbyteries shall require each ordained minister entering the Presbytery to state the specific instances in which he may differ with the Confession of Faith and Catechisms in any of their statements and/or propositions, which differences the court shall judge in accordance with BCO 21-4.f-g (see also RAO 16-3.e.7.a-d).
