Hello another Presbie

[Paulintexas]

Hello all I just found this place. I'm a Presbyterian PCA type (trapped in the land of Baptists) and I could always stand some internet banter and fellowship with Reformed folks.

Welcome, brother!

Welcome!

Just fyi, there is also another Reformed forum here:

Semper Reformanda - Reformed - Christian Forums

that you might want to check out also.

Hi Paul, welcome to CF. If you would like, I can throw an invite to a "Reformation Today" group. I am Presby too, but it's not limited to Presby only, it's basically for any Christian whom affirms the doctrines of Grace (similar to Semper Reformed forum but more private). It's kind of a community within a community. If you just want to browse groups, I believe you can read without joining as well. Sometimes I just feel like lurking.

 

[Paulintexas]

I shall check it out
Thanks

@Paulintexas
I have found a lot of hope and comfort in the local PCA Church plant here. I found it after dealing with an unScriptural change in my home church of many years. My challenge to you is to support your Church. Be faithful not only in tithe and offering, but in the talents and gifts you have to offer. Be aware of what goes on and participate.

Greetings I am a strange customer here. I am Anglican but enjoy those of the Reformed pesuasion. I consider historic Anglican theology to have much in common with Reformed theology. In fact many of the leaders of the English Reformation learned from Calvin.

I was raised as an Anglican as well. Yes, traditional Anglicanism is heavily Reformed, as demonstrated by the Thirty-Nine Articles of Religion which Anglican churches are (or were) supposed to subscribe to. I was taught the 39 Articles when I was young, but the Episcopal Church in 1979 jettisoned them when it re-did the Book of Common Prayer. I mark that as the beginning of the end of the Episcopal Church, since they then departed the fundamentals as stated in the Articles, for example, that nothing could be lawful in the Church which is contrary to Scripture. Unfortunately, since they could no longer comply with the Articles, they pretended they were no longer binding and now call them a "historical document." However, I do know the charter of my old Episcopal Diocese still states that it cannot do anything contrary to the Articles, so I don't know how they get around that--they just ignore it, I guess.
