I see either a split within that denom or I cannot imagine what it would look like in years to come.

That denomination is primarily made up of FV folks (Doug Wilson et al.), and so I would think Wilkins and any others would just be finding a friendly association. If you're implying that the FV folks might be inherently schismatic, and thus would bring dissension wherever they go, I truly don't believe that, knowing some of them personally. If you notice, the FV folks did not try to promote their views to the rest of the PCA -- they just wanted to be accepted as being within the umbrella of acceptable Reformed beliefs. They did not try to make the rest of the PCA adhere to FV, although I'm sure they would hope that would happen in time. They would have been content staying in the PCA, if the PCA would let them stay. Not having spoken to Steve, I can't speak for him, but I suspect his church is leaving the PCA because they can see that there is nothing but continual doctrinal battle ahead of them. They want to be left alone to build the kingdom by preaching the Word faithfully, rather than having to devote so much of their energies to defending this one particular area of doctrine.

Posts: 195 01/31/08 10:12:08	Rod, You are correct that AAPC and Wilkins will now be able to minister in peace which is vitally important for any ministry. Now, I do not see the FVers as being benigned as you described them. Yes, they stayed mostly away from open confrontation, but their rhetoric was progressively alive and loud in the blogosphere. But hey, no movement can control its most extreme, vocal adherents. The reason why I wouldn't be surprise of any schism within is the CREC is this. What drives that denom? It is not FV, per se. They have a lot of self-proclaimed agrarians within their group of churches. Some will be wanting to push the button at a quicker pace and it could possible bring about tension. .

Since when is faith plus works preaching full of faith? http://www.alliancenet.org/partner/Article_Display_Page/0,,PTID307086%7CCHID559376%7CCIID1787572,00.html

I was trying to look at their action of leaving the PCA from their own perspective -- to try to see things as they see them. I believe that, from their perspective, they simply want to be left alone to preach the gospel as they see best. Rod Kirby, Ph.D. Dominion Christian High School Marietta, GA dominionchristian.org
