As I recall, RNMO7, you were once a member of the Church of the Nazarene.

YEP

Are you now a member of the OPC?

Nope... But I am reformed

The two groups have radically different theologies, which is why I ask.

Both denominations accept the 5 solas ... The difference is the nazarene church holds a doctrine in common with the catholic church..that is that one can lose their salvation... That is, in reality , a non essential doctrine .

I can go an worship with my brothers and sisters in the Nazarene Church and know I am in the presence of family

Who makes that call - what is "nonessential"?

After all, the notion of losing one's salvation contradicts three of the Five Pillars of Reformed theology: unconditional election, irresistible grace and the perseverance of the saints.
