Are you and the wife going to remain members of that Presbyterian USA church? If so, do you want that pastor to remain? By the way, is that pastor male or female? If the church doesn't want that pastor, can the church ask him/her to leave?

It's not the pastor that is the issue, but the (PC) PC USA. He is merely following their guidlines. It's the PC USA that is going down the tubes, not just our church. We will need to leave not only this church, but the USA branch of Presbyterianism.

On a more positive note, there is a women's Bible Study my wife attends on Tuesdays. The woman who teaches it (not from our church) is very good, and her teachings always assume the inerrancy of the scriptures. So, at least some good things do happen in the building.

Not all of them, so be careful here. Dr. D. James Kennedy in Ft. Lauderdale seems rather right on to me.

Yes, thank the Lord! We adhere to Baptist distinctives, and we have been greatly blessed by many Bible-believing Presbyterian preachers over the years, and I have a set of books by the 18th Century Presbyterian evangelist, Icabod Spencer, called PASTOR'S SKETCHES. PASTOR'S SKETCHES contains real life episodes of Spencer's dealings with individuals about their soul's salvation. They are really fine illustrations of sound and spiritual personal evangelism methods.

ALL denominations of Christians have really slipped and, excuse me, apostatized. We are independent missionaries and so do not maintain affiliation with any Baptist denomination. It just seems that when churches nowadays stay involved with denominational structures, they are disappointed by the liberal slide of all of virtually all of them.

But I have been looking at the Bible Presbyterian (Charlotte, NC) web site and the Free Presbyterian (Ulster) web site, and I find those to be quite a joy to my Bible-believing Christian spirit. Here I am, a Baptist, recommending Presbyterian web sites to Presbyterian folks...I hope you don't take me as arrogant. I just pray for you the Lord's best. I don't know if there would be any Bible or Free Presbyterian churches near you....or perhaps independent Presbyterians. If not, there might be some independent Bible churches nearby. As a last resort, you might find a friendly independent Bible-believing Baptist church around.
