Speaking of Denominations

This is an unofficial poll if it had been an official poll your IP addresses would have been taken down and filed with the Black Computer run by the Gnomes of Zürich and then a report would be generated and handed in to the Bilderburgers.

Prestor, I wish I could answer your question properly, but there are Presbyterians and then there are...[color:red]those Presbyterians...one would never wish to be called the same as the other! [img]http://www.the-highway.com/w3timages/icons/grin.gif" alt="grin" title="grin[/img]

Nor can I answer unless you include congregationalists and independent evangelicals! James.

Prestor, My church is not among those listed. You may want to modify your poll because I think you've left off too many possibilities. Or you could just add OTHERS to the list which could fill the gap. Wes

Hmm, this gets tricky. I worship in a Reformed Congregational Church with a pastor ordained in the Orthodox Presbyterian Church, and I myself am Presbyterian in polity. You could say we're loosely affiliated with the OPC, though not under its jusrisdiction. Lemme see you describe a radio button for that one!

Wes, Unfortunately, Polls are not able to be modified in any way once they are posted. Sooooooo, Prestor_John would have to create a new one and then we could trash this one, if he's interested in going to all the work in creating another one. [img]http://www.the-highway.com/w3timages/icons/laugh.gif" alt="laugh" title="laugh[/img] There are more denominations existent today, with a new one appearing almost weekly, then there are members of the average church. I didn't see Presbygational in the list either, so I went with the closest thing I could find.

Hey Prestor, what's the difference between a Reformed Baptist and a Sovereign Grace Baptist? James.

Pilgrim, I wouldn't want Prestor to go through any trouble creating another poll but you can see by the responses being posted that the Body of Christ is broken into many pieces. Each part claiming to be the true church while pointing out the errors of the other. Where's a Reformed Evangelical Congregational Calvinist to go these days?

Is that the regular Walmart or Super Walmart? I figured Super for it would appear to be more sovereignly operated. [img]http://www.the-highway.com/w3timages/icons/rofl.gif" alt="rofl" title="rofl[/img]

Are we bugging you enough or do you need more?--always happy to oblige a brother if he is bored.

<blockquote>In reply to:<hr>[color:"blue"]Where's a Reformed Evangelical Congregational Calvinist to go these days?<hr></blockquote> Wes, The URCNA comes close [Linked Image]

Thanks for the reminder RefDoc. [img]http://www.the-highway.com/w3timages/icons/wink.gif" alt="wink" title="wink[/img] I do feel welcomed and quite comfortable theologically with the URC. [img]http://www.the-highway.com/w3timages/icons/grin.gif" alt="grin" title="grin[/img] Wes

<blockquote>In reply to:<hr>[color:"blue"]Hey Prestor, what's the difference between a Reformed Baptist and a Sovereign Grace Baptist? James. <hr></blockquote> Well you know James until recently I too thought they were the same thing however, in a chat room I was informed by a Sovereign Grace Baptist that he wasn't a Reformed Baptist because the Reformed Baptist held to Covenant Theology and that was only for "paedobaptists." A statement which I find highly amusing and no doubt would be so to Fred Malone who holds to Covenant Theology and credobaptism. But of course when I pressed him to give descriptive name to his system of theology he could not. So in the interest of fairness I suppose I felt compelled to include those Calvinistic Baptists who do not consider themselves to hold to the 1689 London Confession.

<blockquote>In reply to:<hr>[color:"blue"]Are we bugging you enough or do you need more?--always happy to oblige a brother if he is bored. <hr></blockquote> Dear EF by no means are you bugging me nor am I bored! I'm on vacation (well technically I have now started my vacation) this is the first multi week vacation I have taken in more years than I can count. [img]http://www.the-highway.com/w3timages/icons/thewave.gif" alt="thewave" title="thewave[/img] And I am enjoying every minute of it. [img]http://www.the-highway.com/w3timages/icons/grin.gif" alt="grin" title="grin[/img] Although I know when I get back to work I shall face a mountain of paperwork and the anguished looks of my crew all telling me I shall never be allowed to do this again. [img]http://www.the-highway.com/w3timages/icons/scold.gif" alt="scold" title="scold[/img] Not to mention the evil designs of Hardware/Software Engineers who have it in their contracts to make my life miserable.

<blockquote>In reply to:<hr>[color:"blue"]Not to mention the evil designs of Hardware/Software Engineers who have it in their contracts to make my life miserable.<hr></blockquote> NOt all Hardware Engineers have that stuff in their contracts. Some just don't design well[img]http://www.the-highway.com/w3timages/icons/smile.gif" alt="smile" title="smile[/img], and end up making life miserable for others. [this is comign from experience; I'm a hardware engineer]. Carlos

do they have WalMarts in Canada?

<blockquote>In reply to:<hr>[color:"blue"]NOt all Hardware Engineers have that stuff in their contracts. Some just don't design well, and end up making life miserable for others. [this is comign from experience; I'm a hardware engineer].<hr></blockquote> My dear friend Carlos I would never say that of you, especially since you do not work for the same company as me. [img]http://www.the-highway.com/w3timages/icons/evilgrin.gif" alt="evilgrin" title="evilgrin[/img] However, since I work in Field Service Repair and must deal many times with errors caused by designs (that I must prove to our engineers (both kinds) are wrong) I have a jaundiced view toward them. Now I admit this is rank prejudice and high paranoia and I should not lump all engineers into one bucket. So if I have touched a nerve mea culpa. Please forgive.

In fact, I heard of some of the things you are expressing. Sometimes designs look good on paper, but in reality are horrible and result in painful experiences when Debugging problems on the field, especially intermitting ones[img]http://www.the-highway.com/w3timages/icons/hairout.gif" alt="hairout" title="hairout[/img]. In our company, the problem is usually between the hardware and software folks.

Well, since I'm SBC but hold to the doctrines of grace, it was a choice between"Reformed Baptist" or "Sovereign Grace Baptist". JDalton [color:red]Colossians 2:3 (By the way, for all we know, maybe the Bilderbergers are looking here anyway! [img]http://www.the-highway.com/w3timages/icons/yikes.gif" alt="yikes" title="yikes[/img])

Well you know since the SBC has so many different "types" of theology I just didn't feel comfortable saying SBC I suppose I could have said SBC (founders) or SBC (non-founders) .

Dear Prestor John, Off the chart, I see. Congregationalist (CCCC to be exact), although Pilgrim's term presbygationalist, which I like, emphasizing Presbyterian doctrine in the context of Congregation polity, would perhaps sound better to people who think of Congregational as synonymous with the whole UCC/NCC/WCC charade.

Paul how could I leave you out! MEA CULPA! Well there is no doubt about it next time I'm just going to type in the entire encyclopedia of denominations that I have sitting at my desk. It might take some time but that way I can include everyone. [img]http://www.the-highway.com/w3timages/icons/grin.gif" alt="grin" title="grin[/img]
