CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Raised Presbyterian (PCUSA) so had reformed roots although they weren't well developed.
When I first married attended the local Roman Catholic parish with my husband (who was raised Catholic, but hadn't practiced in years). After about 2 years realized that there was too much I didn't agree with (don't want to be accused of Catholic bashing, so I'll leave it at that) - so went back to my reformed roots. Took a little bit of searching and a church in the middle, but I've worshiped with my present church family for around 12-13 years, at my current church for 6 1/2 years. We are a reformed Baptist church - yes, you can read Calvinist there (although I don't love the term). I've said before and will continue to say, finding PRBC was like coming home - I can't imagine worshiping anywhere else.
As an aside - we're a small congregation (about 40-50 people, including children). At least 5 other adult members were either raised Roman Catholic or, like myself, attended with a spouse.

I am in a bible study at the moment where I am the only person who was not raised Catholic. The conversations and stories they share are fascinating, sometimes very bittersweet.

My wife was a "cradle Catholic" with a former nun for a mother and a former Jesuit for a father. She didn't really develop a strong relationship with Christ, or study the Bible until she was involved in a college non-denom campus ministry. Through that ministry she came to commit her life to Christ and was baptized as a believer. Later after we were married, through the instruction and guidance of reformed churches we've attended, and my personal theological studies which I've shared with her, we've both become reformed.

that guy thinks you can deny the Trinity & be a Christian. I've read John Calvin, that guy is no John Calvin.

Oh cool. I thought you were talking about Phoenix Reformed Baptist Church (www.prbc.org), home of James White. That was the only PRBC that I knew of until now.
