James,

Well, I'm not William and I have little knowledge of the REC. But just for the purposes of further clarification, I would think that if William were to supply relevant sections of the REC's "official" statement of faith, e.g., from their Confession, Catechism, etc., that would suffice? Granted, we are not so naive as to believe that a denomination's "official" statement of faith is what the actually believe in practice contemporarily. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/giggle.gif" alt="" /> For example, we could consider the PCUSA which says it holds to the WCF.

What is happening currently in the REC is something which only William could answer with any accuracy. But as I said also in the Church Locator Forum..... within each denomination one is going to find both acceptable and unacceptable congregations.

Okay.... I'll let William take it from here and hopefully answer your two questions, concerning the "doctrine of salvation" and "scripture". <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

In His Grace,
