Hello All,
This has probably been asked before but I wasn't able to find details through searches. Can somebody provide a brief overview of the differences between PCA, RP and OPC presbyterian churches?
The Main Points of Church Government and Discipline by Christopher Love (1618-1651)
Love's Question 13 on tithing in support of the church and minister is worth the whole study by itself. But, the whole work is very profitable and helpful in a number of ways.

Is anyone familiar with Decatur Presbyterian Church (PCA) in Decatur, Alabama? My sister has grown to love the worship typical in the OPC. Will this PCA be similar in the sense of having a traditional worship, or will it be more "contemporary?"
Hey Guys. I just started getting deep into reformed theology a few years back (or really just theology in general) and I am reformed baptist as of now. Of course, I have learned much from reformed Presbyterian theologians and others such as Anglican as well. I love the things they have to say...
My wife and I are going to be seeking full membership at Westminster OPC near by. After reading John Murray’s “Christian Baptism” she’s fully adopted covenant theology. This has been a year long journey for both of us, but we’ve arrived.

I just initially finished the first draft of his only available work and will be posting it later in March as it is finalized.
Hi, I'll possibly be moving to Singapore next year and was looking up Presbyterian churches there. There are... a lot. And being relatively new to Presbyterianism, I wasn't sure how to tease out which is which.
I see a goodly number are Exclusive Psalmody, which we are not (our family loves...
Moving to Jacksonville, Fl folks. Will y'all please give me some ideas on churches? I can google(and have) but there are plenty for me to choose from over there. I can live anywhere in the area so my first beacon of where to live is where I attend church. I just thought y'all might be able to...
What is the definitive work in Church history arguing and delineating classic presbyterianism?
Samuel Rutherford’s The Due Right of Presbyteries. Rutherford answers every detailed point of ecclesiology (things about the Church) that you ever thought of, and many, many more.
The problem...
I hope this is the right thread for a question of this nature.
I am a Reformed Baptist in a theololgical journey toward Presbyterianism. I am strongly questioning my Reformed Baptist views of Church Government and Baptism. I've read the book Who Runs the Church? Four Views on Church...

Hello, all. Does anyone know if any RP denomination has dissent toward John Calvin's interpretation of general equity? More specifically, do any disagree with his interpretation of proving a case with witnesses? Here's what my denomination's literature states:

G'day folks,
I really should be writing my university assignment on Justification. But if there's something that I love almost as much as study, it's procrastination.

Hello everyone,
Just wanted to introduce myself and say Hi. I am a church planter of an OPC mission work in downtown Chicago. If anyone visits Chicago, come on by. If you know anyone who is looking for a reformed church in downtown Chicago, pass on my information.
Blessings,
I am happy to report that they have finally all of the old Presbyterian Guardian magazine issues available on the OPC website. Praise be to God for such a good resource and great history and wisdom from our fathers in the faith. enjoy :D
I've got an essay question:
"Evaluate the arguments which James Bannerman advances in support of the government of the church by presbyteries."
Could anyone give any pointers on this? I've started reading Part IV of "The Church of Christ" by Bannerman which seems to be on church government...
