Sect. 244The Apostolicity of the ChurchThe Apostolicity of the Church
The fourth mark of the Church is Apostolicity, by which we mean that the true Church must be the same as the Church of the Apostles, holding the same doctrine as the Apostles, and deriving her orders and mission from them. If a Church teaches any doctrine other than that taught by the Apostles, or if she has not a succession of ministers coming down uninterruptedly from them, she cannot be the Church of Christ. We have already dealt with this subject in Book I. (vol. i. p. 16 sqq.).
