I wonder how his Presbytery will respond
In any case, seeing as how it IS a CREC establishment, I don't suppose they'll do anything at all.

CREC may not, but Leithart is ordained in the PCA.

I would not call this "going to Rome". It's more like "Going to Mercersburg, which is just as good".

I think he bolted. He's gone. Outa there.
The Nevinites rise again. Wonder if they will become Swedenborgian just like Nevin?

I didnt know that he was pastoring in the CREC
Well, it still says he's a member of the Northwest Presbytery. I'd feel relieved if he did bolt.
Wasn't there a study committee under way? I understood that Jason Stellman was a part of it.

On this basis we cheerfully recognize the Trinitarian baptisms of Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox Christians, receive them (and all others who confess this ancient faith) to our celebration of the Eucharist, and warmly welcome them into membership in our congregation.

Not that active on this board and not quite sure of the different perspectives regarding the acceptance of Roman Catholic and Orthodox Christian Trinitarian Baptisms as valid however to welcome them to Communiion and Membership in the Congregation is where my jaw dropped.

If one accepts their baptisms wouldn't one accept them into membership?

Not necessarily Ivan to accept Trinitarian Baptism as Valid and not rebaptize those who have been Baptized properly doesn't automatically give one a right to membership. The individual must also demonstrate a valid profession of Faith in Christ Alone by Faith Alone for their Salvation. Presbyterians who embrace the Thornwellian principle that Roman Catholic Baptism is invalid would also require the individual to be Baptized again or "properly" as they see it. However for the sake of transparency I can assure you that I am one who does in fact accept Trinitarian Baptism (Roman Catholic, EO, Lutheran, etc) as properly administered and would not encourage the individual to be rebaptized. Hope that helps to clarify my thought process.
