This thread springs from Bob Howe's thread " Pulling up the stakes and changing camps."
How many members here have formerly been Dutch Reformed and switched to Presbyterian? Or how about the other way around? Why? And are you be happy with the switch? Would you switch back?
Myself, I switched from Dutch Reformed to Presbyterian. I am really at odds with the way the Dutch Reformed approach the idea of office and the way that discipline is done. I thought that the Presbyterian system was much better. But I am finding out that there is really no practical difference. I am sorry I switched, but I can't see going back either. A lot has to do with the local representations of these, but I also think that there is a systemic problem with each, which is resulting in poor local representations.
Any comments or personal experiences?
