DEFINE YOUR TERMS! That is the first and foremost step in dealing with such things. Neo-Orthodoxy as fabricated by Karl Barth used familiar terminology but redefined those familiar terms without making it known that he had done so. Those who promote Federal Vision, Shepherdism, NPP etc., do the same. Likewise, when trying to learn about Two Kingdom Theology, knowing what the terms mean is essential. What Calvin believed was NOT what Meredith Kline taught and THAT is what has been the contention in the OPC for nearly 3 years. From what I have read personally of Kline's teaching, it is heresy clear and simple but made complex to appear palatable to others.

Sooooooooo, Tom... tread carefully and also do take into consideration the "source(s)" from which you allow yourself to be exposed to. [Linked Image]

Lastly, IF as I expect, the OPC General Assembly even brings this matter to a vote/decision, it follows their typical path and finds that the Klinian "Two Kingdom" view is consistent with the "Standards" of the OPC, even though it is antithetical to what the OPC has historically embraced, it simply means it is heretical. igiveup
