Years ago they used to preach "O we are going to walk on streets of gold." I would say, "I don't need the gold up there. I've got to have it down here.
-- Benny Hinn, Praise-a-thon, April 2, 1991

(User Info | Send a Message) | Okay, I'm sensing there's some history with this guy and preterism. I've heard of R.C. Sproul, the author and partial preterist, but what's the big deal about Jr. here?
I guess it must be a fairly bitter history, as no one seems to be in sackcloth and ashes.

(User Info | Send a Message) | Yeah,
I've only read the Peter Kershaw article. And the last paragraph is most interesting:
"RC Sproul Jr and his defrocked session are known to have been in negotiations with the CREC since the first of January. Though St. Peter Congregational Church voted to reinstate their defrocked elders, it remains to be seen if the CREC (or any other denomination that St. Peter solicits an imprimatur from) will defy the RPCGA's judgment and re-ordain the defrocked men."
It will be worth watching to see if one state-incorporated demonination will flatly ignore the quasi-ecclesiastical jurisdiction of another state-incorporated denomination after a change of the church name.
Peace to you all,

(User Info | Send a Message) | Did anyone else read the Westminster Presbytery Judgment PDF? Does anyone else find the continued references to "the Book of Church Order" troubling? Regardless of the other charges, these gentlemen are being called out because they were not "authorized" by the Westminster Presbytery to start a church. Hmm...
Dr. Talbot writes, "Undersection B10:10A of the Book of Church Order, all mission churches are established by the authority of Presbytery and must be properly processed according to the requirements under Section B10:10."
I am always interested to see how "Sola Scriptura" plays out in real life. |

(User Info | Send a Message) | I've met Jr., back when he was PCA. Anyone else notice how many denominations he has been a part of (and changing again).
PCA
ARPC
RPCGA
and now CREC.
Who or what is the church here? I mean, I could tell you a story that would make you cringe. My former pastor started in the RPCNA, went to the RPCUS, and is now Covenanted Reformed Presbyterian Church.
With Sproul, he seemed to have been moving to a more strict form of Presbyterianism denominationally, but now is going against that authority towards the CREC (Confederation of Reformed Evangelicals, which include Reformed, Presbyterian, and Baptist congregationalists).
My former pastor has gone from a strict Presbyterian group (RPCNA) to even MORE strict groups. These groups get smaller and smaller due to their strictness.
What happened to grace? I mean, Sproul et al didn't give any and now they are reaping what they sowed. It is sad, but it is biblical proof that God is not mocked. Let's stop laying on people requirements that God never laid on them. To quote Rushdoony, "Do you think you are holier than God?" These men must.

(User Info | Send a Message) | | Hey- it's not like R.C. Jr. has been defrocked by the Eastmaxter Wyslian Deformed Cult of Specific Dis-assembly- cuz that'd be really bad or something. Mike Smith of pharisees.org has been listing Jr. as a chief pharisee in training for years. |
