The document cited a 2011 survey of pastors in the denomination who were asked for their level of agreement with the following statement: “Only followers of Jesus Christ can be saved.”
While 41 percent said they agreed or strong agreed with the statement, 45 percent said they disagreed or strongly disagreed — something Menlo Park leaders lamented.

Seems like the PC(USA) is officially no longer a Christian church.
PCUSA is lost.
This is why congregations should own their own property
The degradation continues it’s spiral downwards doesnt it.
Post Modern “thought”...an imossibility
Seems to me its all about the mammon.
YBPDLN* Ping List Ping!
The YBPDLN Ping List is generally published infrequently but based on the exploits of the megachurch pastors posts can spike for a season. If you would like on or off of this list please FReepmail me.

Um... You are not Christian without those "tenets".

I’d just move to another venue and tell them to stuff it.
better 40 years late than never
The magazine that does the 400 Richest Americans.....Forbes or Fortune, can’t recall offhand
In 1986 did a sidebar on HPP, which it described then as the richest PC in the Western Hemisphere. Amongst its congregants was Ross Perot, the 7-11 family (Carpenters?), and a host of others.
I know there’s been turmoil since there so not sure how “rich” the congregation is now but I’m glad to see it asserting more independence.
Highland Park is one of the few remaining nice areas of Dallas County. The Mexicans, blacks and sodomites have taken over nearly everywhere else and have turned a once-Conservative region into a DemonRAT hellhole. The good people now control the suburbs and exurbs, where prosperity thrives and Christian principles abound.
Highland Park is fairly liberal after a split some 20 years ago - they finally choked on ordination of practicing homosexuals, but had no problem with the denomination’s women preachers or abortion stands. That’s one reason they went ECO rather than Evangelical Presbyterian.
It’s a big money church - Caroline Hunt Schoellkopf (H.L. Hunt’s daughter), Ross Perot and his family, Trammel Crowe and his family for a few well known names (and a lot of very rich folks who aren’t household names). So they have members who could probably write a check out of their petty cash accounts.
The congregation should sue to get their donations transferred to the new church.
PCUSA is quickly bleeding off its membership at an ever-increasing rate that is now at 5% a year. There goes another 4,000+ members!
In 1984 they had 3.1 million members. In 2013, 1.76 million.

About the only thing that can be taken seriously these days by the PCUSA.
Sola Scripture = schism after schism after heretical schism.
It’s happening to many PC(USA) churches...even in the liberal Silicon Valley:
So it is no surprise that PCUSA went further left; hard left.
Ironically, this is the only non-Catholic church I have ever attended. We went when visiting friends in Dallas 3 years ago.
