Charles Hodge quotes
" All Church power arises from the indwelling of the Spirit; therefore those in whom the Spirit dwells are the seat of Church power. But the Spirit dwells in the whole Church, and therefore the whole Church is the seat of Church power. "

Charles Hodge
" All Church power is, therefore, properly ministerial and administrative. Everything is to be done in the name of Christ, and in accordance with his directions. "

Charles Hodge
" All the reasons which require the subjection of a believer to the brethren of a particular church, require his subjection to all his brethren in the Lord. "

Charles Hodge
" As the Church is commissioned to make disciples of all nations, to preach the gospel to every creature; as saints always need to be fed, and built up in their most holy faith, she must always have the officers which are her divinely appointed organs for the accomplishment of this work. "

Charles Hodge
" As the Church is the aggregate of believers, there is an intimate analogy between the experience of the individual believer, and of the Church as a whole. "

Charles Hodge
" As to the nature of Church power, it is to be remembered that the Church is a theocracy. Jesus Christ is its head. "

Charles Hodge
" But to be the Vicar of Christ, to claim to exercise his prerogatives on earth, does involve a claim to his attributes, and therefore our opposition to Popery is opposition to a man claiming to be God. "

Charles Hodge
" Christ has not only ordained that there shall be such officers in his Church - he has not only specified their duties and prerogatives - but he gives the requisite qualifications, and calls those thus qualified, and by that call gives them their official authority. "

Charles Hodge
" If all Church power vests in the clergy, then the people are practically bound to passive obedience in all matters of faith and practice; for all right of private judgment is then denied. "

Charles Hodge
" If it is a fearful thing to put the Pope in the place of Christ, and to make a man our God; it is also a fearful thing to put erring men in the place of infallible apostles, and make faith in their teaching, and submission to their authority, the condition of grace and salvation. "

Charles Hodge
" If the Church is a living body united to the same head, governed by the same laws, and pervaded by the same Spirit, it is impossible that one part should be independent of all the rest. "

Charles Hodge
" It is a thoroughly anti-christian doctrine that the Spirit of God, and therefore the life and governing power of the Church, resides in the ministry, to the exclusion of the people. "

Charles Hodge
" Original sin is the only rational solution of the undeniable fact of the deep, universal and early manifested sinfulness of men in all ages, of every class, and in every part of the world. "

Charles Hodge
" Our first remark on this subject is that the ministry is an office, and not merely a work. "

Charles Hodge
" Our second remark is, that the office is of divine appointment, not merely in the sense in which the civil powers are ordained of God, but in the sense that ministers derive their authority from Christ, and not from the people. "
