A note about acusations of “heresy” and the so-called “Federal Vision”

I don’t often do this, but I point you to this comment in context:

The RPCGA says that Fv denies justification by faith alone. The PCA hammer has not yet come down. However, the majority of the PCA is noton board with FV, as is the OPC. So, the majority of orthodox communities see’s consistantly that FV denies justification by faith alone. All the other groups that deny this doctrine you freely call heretical, no?

OK this is how Presbyterianism is replaced with a completely new system using the same terminology. Presbyterianism is about Presbyteries which are regional church units in which Ministers of the Gospel have their membership and to whom they are accountable. PCA ministers are in good standing in their presbyteries after they have been examined and received by them. Sticking ones virtual finger into the cyberspace to predict which way the wind is blowing is not judicial process. It’s just passing on railing accusations and blackening reputations.

There is a lot that could be said here, but I don’t have the time. For those who care, here’s a few things I’ve written:

    Mark,

    Puritan Board never ceases to frustrate me. Seeing the one commentor reference “young FV” persons who “continually persecute” him is simply amazing.

    I am one of those “young FV” guys, well sorta I guess, I know the commentor in question. Not sure what makes you an “FV guy” or just a guy, who happens to agree. I defend PCA pastors, and I’m the persecutor. Strange indeed.
