Vote Yes on Amendments 23 & 37: Dominic Aquila & Fred Greco Explain Why
God chooses who gets saved. There is only one mediator between God and man, Jesus Christ not the preacher man. The dead infant, the retarded and the barbarian who lived and died without hearing the Gospel are among the elect. This is true Unconditional Election. WCF Chapter 10.

There is nothing wrong with being homosexual and it is not something to repent of.
Families would be restored? In my experience, religion tears families apart, not bring them together.
The Jehovas Witness' have problems with sexual abuse in the church because they demand witnesses to any accusation. The person who has been the victim of a crime is a witness and also, any crime should be reported to civil authorities.
I find that members of your church are among the least interested in truth that I have ever met.
The doublespeak is incredible. You’re saying a so-called Non-Communicant member is an important part of the CHURCH but are barred from sharing the Supper. Incredible!
The book of church order is not scripture. 😃
The Bible makes no distinction between so-called communicant and non communicant “members”. The Bible does not forbid “non communicant members” from sharing in the Supper, nor does it command a believer to make a particular “confession of faith” in order to share in the Supper.
The Bible can be made to say anything the reader likes.
This only applies to the organized institutional “church”. Please note that the use of the word “church” here does not refer to the people, ie: the people are the church, but rather to an institution as comprised of a group of clergy that oversees a laity. In this context the word “church” never actually refers to or includes the “laity”. This distinction is in error. There is no place where scripture commands that the believer formally “join” or be “bound” to certain religious institutions.
I’ve really enjoyed this series of videos. Thank you!
Exactly. The contrast between USA-PCA.

But here's the thing. There is no god, so all of this is based on sand.
How do you know anything outside of your eyeballs?
Its ironic that you've stolen a metaphor Jesus authored, the foolish man in Jesus's parable is the man who ignores his words.
funny... God says that anyone who builds his house on anything BUT God, is indeed building on sand, and will be washed away... like you. Repent and believe the Gospel.
Explanatory. I like this.
Lol I love that! Pentecostals and Baptists get them converted & the Presbyterians sanctify them. That's true for me; I'm coming over from the other side!
I've looked at a lot of Christian videos about conflict, but it's always either conflict between fellow believers and conflict within the Church leadership. I'm trying to find out what to do when a Christian has a conflict with a Church leader. Would that come under conflict with fellow believers? I'm just trying to prevent the same damage I expeienced from a certain Christian leader to another Christian in the congreation.
Thanks Dr. Aquilla and Rev Greco. Those Christological and Eclcesiological lenses we look through is so critical to getting everything else right.
The BCO reference at ruclips.net/video/0a0kPFIILFc/видео.html should be 32-4 rather than 34-2.
The Scriptural reference at ruclips.net/video/FsZb3SEks_0/видео.html should be Numbers 35:12 rather than Numbers 34:12.
Something I don’t understand: Jesus was tempted but He never sinned. Wouldn’t that be contradictory to what the Reformers said about temptation?
@@Spicypapi333 Of course, in the context of the Bible, they literally thought the end of the world was coming in their lifetime. Christianity had to adjust to the fact that it's central figure was simply wrong.
The reference of Acts 14:26 at ruclips.net/video/Jt2YrvkwK2k/видео.html should be Acts 14:23.
Sorry if I missed it, but would baptism of any unbaptized children be required for membership? Thanks
No. People must be able to ascent to membership questions, but they aren't required to agree with infant baptism or practice it in order to join as a member.
As a member of the PCA for many decades, these overtures seem to add to the confusion for the average member. Church purity is a very important issue especially when the current culture declines more and more into depravity. The language of these overtures is confusing. Clarity is lacking and many of the members of the average PCA are not even aware of the potential of Progressive Christianity establishing a footing in our churches.
@@biffalobull2335 The scripture says pretty much nothing on the issue. It certainly does not condemn it any more than it condemns eating shrimp or wearing mixed fabric.
@@adamredwine774 In a comment you posted on this thread 2 minutes before this one, you said there’s nothing wrong with homosexuality and there’s nothing to repent of. You’re blinded If that’s the case, why do you care what the PCA maintains? Are you a PCA member? Regardless, why not go to the PCUSA. They’re right up your alley
@@biffalobull2335 My vision is just fine thanks. I care what the PCA maintains because my parents have been sucked into this cult. No, I am not a PCA member. hahahahahahaha... I'm not a Christian. I find your internal bickering pretty amusing though.
@@adamredwine774 Oh ok, this is a mommy/daddy issue….got it The Bible is very clear on that issue and on what qualifies as a marriage. We can review the verses and context all day But you’re just here to argue Ill be wasting my time and you’ll be receiving that attention you could be getting from your parents
@@biffalobull2335 Context? Hahahaha... you guys think "context" is the English translation of copies of collections of ancient writings gathered over many centuries.
Good stuff brothers.
