Election and Sin

marianservant,

I cannot tell you what to do. Honestly, I am delighted that you are considering alternatives to Catholicism.

I am certain there are other churches in your area that are likely Reformed. Perhaps you should investigate that.

SO what do I do...a thir church? I could never live that down here! What to do?

Are you sure about your newfound theological beliefs? It sounds as though you're in a period of uncertainty, and this is not something to take lightly. As someone who's been through several stages between Arminianism and Calvinism, and still struggling with certain theological issues, I'm quickly learning that patience is a must. Don't be hasty. I think you have a lot to pray about and to be prayed for, and a lot of Scripture-study to do. It would be unfortunate if you committed yourself to a Reformed church and then decided you wanted to go back to the UMC. Also, as Knight said, you might want to investigate the Reformed churches in your area. Find out what they're all about.

Their is only one reformed church in my area, and I have not enjoyed any experience I have had with it, and I doubt I will go back to the UMC, because some of the thing they teach I simply cannot believe, so I am just going to attend a few churches I have been invited to or desire to go to, and then just go wherever God's spirit leads me.
God Bless

Well, I wish you well. My prayers are certainly with you. I'm in a non-Reformed church, and not sure whether or not to leave. At the rate things are going at this church, I may end up in your position.

Remember, a Reformed church may be Reformed in theology but not in name.
