So, are you implying that IF the pastor/elders of your current church started toying with or embracing NPP you would remain there because there aren't any other acceptable (biblical) churches in the area where you live? And IF, that is the case, would a paedobaptist church not be included as an alternative? Just curious. grin

No a NPP Church would not be acceptable to me.
Yes a paedobaptist Church would be acceptable with me. However, I have already checked out that in the past and the only paedobaptist churches are the CRC Church that supports ministries like Crystal Cathedral and a Presbyterian Church that has a woman pastor.

Understand that although a credobaptist Church is preferable, I am not one that believes this matter should be a determining factor.
I realize that there are credobaptists that would disagree with me; but that is ok with me. grin

By the way, when I said that in my last post I was not thinking of NPP. For I doubt even Tim Keller would embrace that heresy.
What I was referring to is the nonsense that Keller and some like him are into.

I thought I would let you know that today after service, I was talking to a friend that is a deacon in the Church and he told me that he also has some huge concerns with some of the teaching and practices that he is seeing in some Reformed circles. When I told him about the things that I have uncovered about Tim Keller; he told me that he agrees with me and what I said only confirms his suspicions.
This is quite a relief to me, because my friend and I often go for coffee together with the pastor where we discuss theology and things concerning the Church. The pastor has told us that he really appreciates us for our friendship and our openness to him. Especially considering this is his first head pastor-ship and the needs of the Church are at times overwhelming.
I have found this friendship with my friend and my pastor, to be a great way to keep each other accountable.
