I'd like to have this topic stay out of politics (and therefore out of the political forum) and focus on the salvific aspect of the following quote:

I'm sorry, but when was submitting to the governing authorities a qualification for salvation? I thought all that was required was faith in Jesus as your savior.
Anyone know why the OPC needed a report on Illegal Immigrants in the first place? Is (or was) this a serious issue in the OPC?

While a prima facie case might be made that many illegal aliens cannot make a credible profession of faith because of their apparent failure to submit to the governing authorities ... it is nevertheless appropriate for sessions to judge the credibility of a person's profession of faith based on a case-by-case basis.
