The Adopting Act of 1729 is the act of the Philadelphia Synod, the early Presbyterian body in Colonial America, which requires ministers to agree with "Important & necessary articles" of the Westminster Standard. The law is a compromise between the Scottish-Irish minister, who prefers to strictly subscribe to the standard of recognition to defend orthodoxy, and New England, who prefers a more hierarchical church government and believes the individual's conscience can not be bound by others but only by the Bible. The Adopting Act was unanimously approved on 19 September 1729.
