    Example

    we were visiting a church

    SS class. Teacher- where and how do we meet God?

    a lady responds “in our calling”

    I was totally wowed.

    you never hear answers like that in a nonconfessional church that I know about. Ever!!

    I was like yeah, Totally

    Good point. If a non-Confessional church teaches from Scripture what may otherwise be contained in a Confession then why have a confession to teach doctrine. Just bypass the middle man and go straight to the source.

    Ever? I have never attended a Confessional church. But I cannot count the times I have heard that God makes you who you are to be by His calling.

    There are bad baptist churches, but ones I have been in were not reformed, and still taught and held to the Bible!

    can go to other extreme, as have heard say Lutherans can confess the entire views of Martin Luther, and yet not know really thenscriptures outside of that!

    Now, to our point, I will grant that often a good church is hard to find. I was speaking of about 8 or 9 that I have been a member of and dis not include all I have visited.

    I have visited 1 confessional church (Presbyterian). It was essentially dead. But it did have a lot of doctrine.

    Sometimes churches have great doctrine and a singular focus on teaching this doctrine, and although this is good they have lost their First Love.

    Yeshua1,

    ,
    Reading on or about amill.is not even close to reading amill people and interacting with them.
    You have not read any Amill books, most likely not one postmill guy.
    You are reading little summary comments second hand, rather than the actual thing.
