the PCA now appears on the cusp of becoming the largest Presbyterian body in the United States, with the Evangelical Presbyterian Church not far behind.

Who cares??? not me!!

[Lee N. Field]

With the precipitous decline of the historically larger PC(USA), the PCA now appears on the cusp of becoming the largest Presbyterian body in the United States, with the Evangelical Presbyterian Church not far behind.

It'll be a while yet.

"doctrines such predestination of an “elect,”

Sorry if I'm out of place, but the article isn't caucused protestants only or anything, so...

How does this believe in predestination tie in evangelizing? I mean, if some people were chosen at the beginning of time to go to heaven, and some are chosen to go to hell, what does it matter whether they're even Christian or not if their already chosen? If they're already predestined, what need is there for them to be religious?

Classical Protestant Resurgence: how the PCA got its mojo back

Remember that Calvin et al surfed the wave that was Luther. That Calvinist churches should now try to lay claim to the reformation and to protestantism, much less something "classical protestant," is anachronistic.

If you could forward the sports page (with scores) and the stock market report as well, I'd sure appreciate it.

The original article was written in response to and out of concern for the direction articulated in the proposed 2010 Strategic Plan of the PCA. But the fact is that the Strategic Plan, rather than the view of the author, was approved by the 2010 General Assembly.

The author wrote:

And so I wrote the below fictional article, dated ten years hence, of what might happen if we choose this second approach (also published at http://theaquilareport.com).  Please note that I do not know that my approach will bring growth.   The point is that we don't know that the other approach will either.  The only thing we must do then is to be faithful to what we understand to be truth, and to preach the Gospel and love folks.  I just think if we do that as a denomination, we're going to be OK.   Enjoy (if that is the word!):

The fact is the PCA GA adopted the very plan that caused this author so much concern. What does that say about the future of the PCA?

I wish that my Pastor, who is busy courting arminians and standing silent on the doctrines of the church, would follow those that found that God blesses a church that teaches strong doctrine
