Hi Protestant, Just five letters I would say. :) Philippians 3:3, "for we are the true circumcision, who worship in the Spirit of (God) and glory in Christ Jesus and put no confidence in the flesh,..." John 4:23, "But an hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers shall worship the Father in *Spirt and truth; for such people the Father seeks to be His worshipers. (God) is *Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in *Spirit and truth." Romans 8:26, "And in the same way the (Spirit) helps our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we should, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words;..." I have worshiped as a Presbyterian and as a Baptist visitor (longtime), and have felt the oneness of believers. A book on the denominations would give you a good breakdown on their individual beliefs. If you were a Presbyterian who wanted to become a Baptist, you would only need to be immersed. If you were a Baptist who wanted to become a Presbyterian, he would probably say "Welcome, we accept anybody who professes faith in Christ." As a former Presbyterian and preacher's kid, I would have to say that they have accepted too many things in the past. I think particularly of allowing practicing homosexual ministers. But that is my bias. I encourage more people to respond to your question. From the heart, Ray |

Hi, Ray; Just FYI, I don't think any Presbyterian denomination santions ordination of practicing homosexuals for any office - Deacon, Elder, or Minister. The Presbyterian Church (USA) has a problem with a few defiant churches and presbyteries who have chosen to ignore ordination standards. The PC(USA) specifically requires either fidelity in heterosexual marriage or chastity in singleness. This has been affirmed by the General Assembly several times. The liberals don't like it, but that's their problem - one among many. Peace and grace, Steve aka Indiana Jones |
