Modern evangelicals aren't capable of recognizing true heresy. Most evangelicals on this board think heresy is not agreeing with the trend de jour.May I say that is pure and undadulterated baloney. Most of the evangelicals that bother to post on the religion forum are strongly bible based and willing to defend earnestly for the faith.
There is a presbyterian minister who occasionally posts on this board who doesn't appear to believe a single verse in the bible. I cannot recall you or any of the GRPL's ever bothering to challenge him even once. You seem quite happy with pointing out all the errors in everyone else's church yet the Presbyterian Church is falling into heresies that few if any evangelical churches would dare to fall into.
May I say that from what I've seen "Modern" Presbyterianism is not evangelical and is pure heresy. So clean your own house Gamie. Don't blame the Evangelicals for the problems in the American Churches. Most of them still believe in the Bible.

You are the ones who care enough to learn and defend the faith. You are the exceptions, not the rule.

I don't know exactly who you are talking about, but if I have challenged mainstream Presbyterians on this very board, as have other GRPL. Do a search for Presbyterian. Usually it will led to threads on apostasy. Look if you see any familiar screen names and then we'll talk.

In the case of the PC(USA) you are right. You are bearing false witness if you say the PCA is not evangelical or spreading heresy. A lack of commitment to the evangelical principals drove us out of the PC(USA).

See my previous comment.

And what exactly do they believe? That Scripture is some sort of guidebook to happy living. I can count off 6 people in my current church who think that Scripture is all about them and is nothing more than a guide book. Two are employed by "evangelical" organizations. They know individual verses quite well. But they can't tie together one common theme anywhere.
***Most of them still believe in the Bible.***
But when confronted with a problem, they run to the current best seller, ie Joel Osteen.
FWIW, there is an issue peculating in the PCA. I am looking for a suitable article so I can post once i get my own mind around it.
Hey, when's the last time you came out and cried foul on just one thing that the Evangelical church in general is doing that is wrong?
Or are evangelical authors and pastors infallible?
