I recently found the below quote in the massive work by a Reformed modern day scholar. In Dr. John Frame's work, The Doctrine of the Christian Life: A Theology of Lordship, he says:
"I believe that churches should admit to membership and to the sacraments people who, though polygamous, otherwise give a credible profession of faith in Christ" (p. 755).
He would also be in line with Dr. Jay Adams, the famous Biblical counselor who founded Nouthetic counseling. Too Dr. John Calvin held this view as well.
Though he does not see the life as the ideal it is another step in the right direction and thus far another credible modern day theologian with good repute who breaks down the "forbidden" stance against all who embrace polygyny (he incorrectly terms it polygamy). He at least believes they are to be received into fellowship and thus this ought to be something used by those facing pressure from the "establishment."
Dr. Frame holds a BD from Westminster Theological Seminary, A Master's of Philosophy from Yale University, and a DD from Belhaven College. He teaches at Reformed Theological Seminary in Orlando. He is one of the most well-known scholars and is highly respected by Evangelicals in all persuasions of thought.
