Why God forbid that should happen, Chuck! Why, if too many of you Presbyterians did that, the Presbyterian church might actually grow...and, golly-gee-whiz-gob-smack!...It might not eventually die!
(And then we'd have to write a new psalm just to proclaim that as a modern-day miracle by God!)
But I could just imagine that new psalm being written to praise God about that hypothetical Presbyterian miracle...and then...some Presbyterian council would get together...and put that new psalm quietly down...
Why? "Well," they'd reason..."What would happen if people found out God was doing actual dynamic things in the Presbyterian church? Why, that might be tantamount to telling people to come to the Presbyterian church! And we just couldn't let that become some 'new' tradition or custom amongst Presbyterians...could we?"
Besides, Romney isn’t a Presbyterian.
I’m not worried about the PCA church dying. And I find most denominational issues to be more of a personal choice, so I find little desire to push people into a particular denomination.
I’ll argue doctrine; if people agree with the doctrine, they’ll join the church that espouses it. But I have no interest in prosyletizing on Free Republic. I don’t fault people who do, I presume that’s one purpose of allowing the religion forum, but it’s existance doesn’t compell me to use it in that way.
