Texas is 8 1/2 times the size of Scotland. People in Scotland are not used to travelling the kind of distances people in America do in a day and back, partly because we live in a smaller country.
Praise GOD
He's absolutely guided me in his sovereignty today. Like I said I had issue over women ministers in this mornings service, decided then on a whim to go to the free church of Scotland service in the afternoon. I just came back
The preacher came having only a weeks notice, he was originally scheduled for elsewhere and he was originally going to preach something else but something in acts caught him in his sermon prep. His whole sermon was literally jumping into my heart - the topic - the call to preach and God's sovereignty in raising up ministers. It was about acts and the call to preach the gospel and that verse about the Holy Spirit turning one of the apostles away from a town and sending him elsewhere(my vague memory). I mean the entire thing confirmed to me 2 things
1) God is calling me to preach/minister.
2) I'm called out of the Church of Scotland for sure. << this came up in the sermon too.
It was like that sermon and situation was custom built for me....
It was suuuch a relief to finally know and have it confirmed after today. I felt the Holy Spirit move strongly in my heart during the sermon and afterwords when I went up to talk to the preacher literally the presence of the Holy Spirit was just overcoming me I almost came to tears for some reason.
Just waiting on what to do next, whilst attending the free church.
yesssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
w000000000t
such a relief and joy.
Could someone please explain what the "continuing" refers to in Free Church of Scotland Continuing? Thanks.

In 2000, there was a split regarding the carrying out (or lack thereof) of judicial investigation of a member of the Free Church. In accordance with their ordination vows, several ministers declared that their consciences could not be bound to courts acting against the constitution of the Free Church; thus, they broke off, considering themselves to be the "true continuation" of the original protest, and thus the true, "continuing" Free Church of Scotland.
Free Church of Scotland (Continuing) (founded 2000).
I also believe that the Free Presbyterian Church of Ulster (Ian Paisley's) has a few congregations in Scotland. They are Evangelical and Reformed.
"I appreciate the passionate preaching of the Ulster Free Presbyterians; but, are they “Presbyterian”? " - Glenn
Yeah they have that form of government and they hold to the Westminster confessions and catechisms.

With the multitude of presbyterian denominations in Scotland the last thing we need is another one. We are, however, a mission field.

And, what's their practice and belief regarding baptism?
Some of their congregations in North America are denying paedobaptism has any validity.
And, what's their position on the Regulative Principle of Worship?
Whatever these are, we do know what their stance is on the identify of the AntiChrist
you mean go live there? if i was to move to northern ireland i'd certainly go all out free-pres. though i dont know how my family would like that
i love they're preaching and they are very successful.
they've also helped me through email and stuff and they're sermons are powerful.
That would mean both the FCoS and FCoSC were founded in 1560 when the CoS was founded.
