Abstract
The function of the Confession and Doctrine in the structure of the NHK and the implications thereof for a minister of the WordThe whole question of the function of the Confession and Doctrine in the structure of the NHK is mainly a question of church order. This matter is treated, in the first place, by looking at history and the calvinist roots of the Church. Because the Confessio Belgica names the true preaching of the Word as one of the marks of the Church, it is of paramount importance for the Church to maintain true preaching. The norm by which true preaching is measured, is the regula fidei, i e the Bible and in the second place the Confession and the Doctrine. In the form of subscription by the ministers of the Word they acknowledge that Confession is in accordance with the Word and therefore a true norm for measuring true preaching. Three cases of alleged heresy committed by ministers are examined to determine in which way the Church Councils applied the mentioned norms.

Summary
Die vraag na die funksie van die belydenis én die dogma in die struk tuur van ons Kerk, is al vantevore gestel en beantwoord. Dit w^as in die brosjure van ds M ] Goddefroy van 1912, Neem niet Roomsch! Tog bly dit 'n vraag wat telkens weer opduik met 'n meerdere of mindere mate van dringendheid. In 'n sekere sin is dit 'n suiwer kerkordelike vraag, want dit gaan om die vraag na die funksie van die belydenis in die kerklike orde. Dit word in die Kerkwet Artikel XI uiteengesit en die implikasies daarvan. Vir die predikant word in Bepaling 73.2 na vore gebring. Sodra daar na 'n verklaring gevra word, kom die hele kerklike verlede in hierdie verband na vore. Sonder om in te veel historiese besonderhede te verval, moet die volgende in hierdie verband na vore ge bring word
