“Presbyterian Church in America because it is affiliated with the NAE?”


If the PCA is affiliated with the NAE, then I question its wisdom, frankly. If someone desiring a Presbyterian form of church order or government were to ask me (which has only happened twice that I remember), I would more likely recommend the churches affiliate with the Bible Presbyterians (HdQ. Charlotte), or the Free Presbyterians (HdQ. Belfast, Ireland, but with churches in the USA).

Check out their web sites.

The Bible Presbyterian Church looks a little fundamentalist for me, but I could certainly go with the Orthodox Presbyterian Church. It is probably as conservative, but in a more Calvinist than fundamentalist way.

Are we talking about the remnants of Carl McIntire's Bible Presbyterian Church? They're down to just 30 congregations in the USA; the rest of them eventually merged with the PCA. According to Wikipedia,

In 1955-1956 a split occurred in the Bible Presbyterian Church. One faction eventually took the name Evangelical Presbyterian Church. A few years later this group merged with the Reformed Presbyterian Church in North America, General Synod to form the Reformed Presbyterian Church, Evangelical Synod; that body in turn merged with the Presbyterian Church in America in 1982.
