I wonder if our denomination (PCA) is being a little inconsistent when we say that...
1. Teaching elders and ruling elders are ordained to the same office.
2. Only teaching elders may administer the sacraments.
I understand some of the practical reasons to make (2) a rule, but I don't believe this is biblically defensible. Maybe I'm missing something. I appreciate any insights!
