Wow. Hubris is in the eye of the beholder friend, and as someone who remains a TE in good standing I’ll go ahead and continue to serve as best I can in my Church. I’ll humbly remind you, you aren’t my presbytery or anything else to me but a bit of advice.
God always speaks through the majority, of course.

“Let not him who straps on his armor boast himself as he who takes it off.”
Mark, you’re just going to have to learn to submit to the infallible magisterium.
In one of RC Sproul’s books, he discusses how, historically, many of the prominent theologians and pastors of the past were reformed but that this has changed in the 19th and 20th centuries. Sproul suggests that it is not appropriate to do theology by a show of hands. However, the numbers may at least cause us to take a second look and make sure we have things right.
From the admittedly small amount of discussion that I have read so far since the GA resolution has passed, most of the FV guys are looking closely at the bible and trying to explain their theology from scripture. While most of the TRs are appealing to the show of hands and digging their heals into the GA resolution. Quite interesting don’t you think?

Oh, for God’s sake, stop digging! There is nothing remotely consitutional in your argument. The orthodoxy of ministers is not subject to majoritarian votes on committee reports. Submit to the order you claim to uphold, already!
This isn’t a high school clique and you’re not allowed to run it that way.
