Presbyterian Poll

[Nova Scotian Boy]

Ive been attending a Presbyterian Church this last year, while im at University. The Martime Presbyterians tend to be quite Evangelical. Seeing as there different Presbyterians all over the world i was wondering what category your Churcvh fell under.

PC(USA) liberal, apostate, worth the effort to save it. We are commanded to evangelize. Why not start in our individual churches? Become an Elder. Fight the false teachings of the liberal majority at the grass roots level.

Wouldn't know... seeing as I go to a Baptist Church and all, but we Baptists here are very conservative

 

[JimfromOhio]

My church is very Evangelical and very Reformed. Which means, we are always reforming.

My church is also Baptist (and Reformed), so I didn't vote either.

Question: precisely how can one be liberal and Calvinist? It's true that liberal churches are usually characterized by tolerance for homosexuality, a pro-choice stance, liberalism on other social issues, as well as a heterodox theology. Now don't get me wrong, all of the things that I mentioned are definitely not Biblical. But above all of these issues, I think it's safe to say that "liberal" in the theological sense is usually code for "I believe that everyone is going to heaven." Yet Calvinism says precisely the opposite. Therefore, how could a Calvinistic church possibly be liberal?

i voted evangelical, but then I'm not a presbyterian! but if it counts for anything the presbyterian church in town is evangelical too - in fact the ministers went to the same bible college!

I attend a fundamental, dispensational, KJV Only Church. We're liberals.











































Just kidding. I couldn't vote, I'm a Baptist reforming, in a dispey church. The Pastor is excellent and we're mission driven.

 

[arunma]

Dispy, KJV-only, yet Reformed? That's a combination that I thought I'd never see!

 

[JM]

I'm "reforming", the Church I attend is dispey.

 

[cygnusx1]

I am a Reformed Baptist , listening to an MP3 telling me I am not Reformed ........

Then you ain't been around the block yet young whipper snapper. My deceased father-in-law (may he enjoy his present state of glorification), was solely responsible for leading me from Arminianism to the doctrines of grace. He was the most staunch 5-pointer that I have ever met and it only paled in comparison to his premillennial dispensationalism. Now as for KJV, he prefered NASB (Ryrie's, of course).

i can and did vote. i am a member of the Evangelical Presbyterian Church. About the only stand we have that would be construed as "Liberal" is that we neither mandate nor forbid female Ruling or Teaching Elders.

Practically speaking, there have been only four female Teaching Elders (Ordained ministers) in the denomination. Of those, One has left the denomination, two are retired, and one is a missionary.

It is a difficult balancing act. The UPCUSA is apostate. While there are Christians who remain within it, it is continuing to fall into apostacy with each passing year, despite such fine organisations such as The Confessing Church Movement (which originated at a congregation near my present home).

None the less, such blatant apostacy has the advantage of being obvious, and therefore the member of the UPCUSA congregation can avoid such things.

My denomination has some questionable issues. Deception is a very real possibility because said deception would be (and is) much more subtle, and not so obvious on first inspection. In some ways i envy the sincere members of the UPCUSA.

Can't really vote, the options are too limited.

I attend a fundamental, dispensational, KJV Only Church. We're liberals.

Being a light instead of cursing the darkness eh?



























































Oh, I see, you were just kidding. I get it now. It takes me a while sometimes.
