as the "gay marriage is ok" spreads among the Presbyterians, we can expect more of this

They just need to be more inclusive, they need women clergy, they need to approve of abortion and homosexuality.

Oh, I forgot!

The little Baptist church, I attend has about 60 active members, not that much different in size from the church mentioned and we are financially sound. What makes the difference?

I was an Elder in a Presbyterian Church in Nebraska in the 1990s, and I have to say that it grieves me deeply to see what's happened to this, and other Presbyterian Churches. I was chosen to speak for our Church when the subject of allowing homosexuals in the pulpit was being considered. And while most of our membership supported my point of view, it was clear that those few who did not were absolutely livid with me because of my comments on the issue.

I stood before the group and reminded them of the scriptural guidelines regarding homosexuality. Then I said that when a Christian Church deliberately and knowingly adopts guidelines which run directly against the inspired Word of God they cease to be a church, because they openly defy the teachings of their foundational documentation...or more to the point, openly defy God.

That is the point at which they become something which could be better defined as a cult.

Needless to say that this was also the point at which I and my family left the Presbyterian church.

The Methodist church to which I belong, a downtown church that was started in the nineteenth century is also struggling. Most of its members are 50 or older, and Sunday worship services average only abut 100.

I agree as the saved leave an apostate church ...

PCUSA is like Rome in that it owns all the churches and the retirement funds of the pastors.. most of these congregations can not just withdraw and become OP or PCA

A local PCUSA actually raised the funds to buy their way out.. but most congregations just can not do that ...

So the elect will filter out to other congregations.. ..This is good news for the church of Jesus Christ not so much for PCUSA
