Yeah I read your post Robin, nasty.

I pray you are blessed in your search. I too checked out the CMA, but the one near me is strongly charismatic and Arminian.

Had lunch with my new pastor, discussed that we both like James White (aomin.org) and the team pyro guys. I seem to recall you are a Dan Phillips fan yourself Robin.

We talked a bit about Arthur Pink, Edwards, and some others. Was nice to have a chat like that. He encouraged me to think about joining the church, I don't know why I was surprised by that, but I was. :-)

I think they are what I call "John Piper" Christians, non-charismatic, but believe in what I call "voices in your head".

I am a strict cessationist in that regard, having zealously followed those voices once and learned the hard way they only lead to trouble.

Not enough to put me off, but if anyone dares to speak for God I may dare them to pass the test of inerrancy, and we'll see how things fall out after that.
