John_C said:Kyle, The reason I asked is that we have already lost two intregal families to the new church plant. My church is in a decline and I'm afraid the demographics are making it unattractive to newbies. People are drawn to the new, exciting and energetic and sadly we are not it. The husband of one of the families that left said he had been praying for years that the PCA would plant a church across the bay in our (my) area. He sees the Acts 29 plant as an answer to prayer in that it is Reformed, conservative, and in the area where he lives. Here is the Act 29 doctrinal statement I don't see any red flags. Though he did mention that Acts 29 leaves it up to the local elders on whether the local church would be paedo or credo baptists. Their doctrinal statement isn't particularly troublesome, although it has its own problems. What concerns me most is their ethic, which again is contextualization & cultural engagement. This has a very strong tendency to overshadow solid doctrine, besides what it does to dilute worship, especially as it concerns God's holiness. I share Pilgrim's concerns.

I tell you, this man went down to his house justified.
