Mid-Term Exam

 

Each question is worth 4 points. Keep answers relatively brief (a short paragraph per question would be appropriate). This exam is open Bible, open book, and open notes—but you may not use quotations. Express the answers exclusively in your own words.

 

  1. Briefly describe the mission of the church.
  2. Distinguish between the universal and the local church. In what sense is the church properly regarded as one?
  3. Compare and contrast the basic elements of Episcopalian, Presbyterian, and Congregational models of church government.
  4. Describe the biblical requirements and responsibilities of elders and deacons. Where do “pastors” and “bishops” fit in? What then is the role of the other members of the church?
  5. What is the purpose of Baptism? the Lord’s Supper?
