This brief historical survey rejects the view of unqualified subscription to the Westminster Standards, and also rejects the 'full subscriptionist' view of Morton Smith. The author shows from the earliest history of the Adopting Act of 1729 to the present day in the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA) that scruples or reservations with the Confession and Catechisms of Westminster have been permitted. It has always been the prerogative of Presbytery to listen to a candidate and decide whether his exceptions or reservations strike at the vitals of the system of doctrine. The PCA, in its current discussion of subscription, should stay on course with the historical purpose and practice of sincerely receiving and adopting the Westminster Standards as containing the system of doctrine taught in Holy Scripture.
