John Wesley is one of my biggest influences in terms of Christian theology.  Take a guess.


DC and Mung Beans are Presbyterians, so yes, that would be their church's doctrine.

I know that, but I needed some insight simply because given Presbyterianism is the 'state church' of Scotland in circles where it dominates (not that you can say it still does here) I've came across more of a variance within it.

I belong to the Presbyterian Church in America, which is explicitly Calvinist. I think Mung Beans is as well, but don't quote me on it.

Technically my church isn't part of PCA, but I pretty much am in more or less complete theological agreement with it and would probably go to a PCA church if I'm not at home.

This is probably a stupid question, but why would a church which I presume is located in Canada be called the "Presbyterian Church in America?"

My church was originally part of the Reformed  Presbyterian Church, Evangelical Synod, which was mostly in the northern USA and Canada. The PCA absorbed the RPCES in the 1980's.

I'm also surprised that that's the Calvinist church you're a member of, considering its evolution to the left on some issues.

My congregation is to the right of the PCA at large, so I'm content where I am. Besides Calvinist churches aren't exactly thick in the ground where I am. If I left my current church, my options would be an ultraconservative Presbyterian church or a reformed Baptist church. I'm not sure which one I'd choose.

Actually on purely theological matters you are more moderate than a lot of other PCA members I've come across (excepting the more evangelical faction centred around Tim Keller) since many of them are YEC and have very critical views regarding Catholicism.
