05:17 One reason this doctrine is important: the Right of Resistance is a non-indifferent ethical matter addressed in Scripture and church's subordinate doctrinal standards
06:47 A second reason this doctrine is important: the Right of Resistance is required to be taught, and contradicting it is subject to discipline
08:55 A third reason this doctrine is important: decisions related to one's view of the Right of Resistance are frequently encountered
