Lets talk about this Organization:

[Reformed1689]

Back to the OP:

I find that I cannot support this sort of thing ( which I do not support in principle, anyway ) mainly because of the 4 main groups that are in the alliance...
Anglicans, Baptists, Reformed and Presbyterian.

Many truths of the Bible that I hold dear are not supported by even 2 of these 4 groups,
and none of them is, in my estimation, without grave error in some of their doctrines and / or teachings.
Some teach infant baptism ( even for those who are children of believing parents, like Presbyterians do ) which is reserved for believers alone...
Not unbelievers who have never confessed Christ as Lord and Saviour.

Anglicans have their own set of problems, IMO, such as affirming or ordaining those who disobey the Lord's commands in matters of sexuality.
some Presbyterians also ordain women pastors, which is not in accord with the Scriptures.

As far as I know,
both Presbyterians and Reformed teach amillennialism, which is also, in my studied opinion, a grave error.

The one thing in common that I am in agreement with them,
is their ( apparent ) stand on God's sovereign grace...
which most nowadays hate with a vengeance and brand as "Calvinism".

They and I would stand on that as a common ground...

But, regrettably, there are far too many other issues that I know would come to the surface,
and that I would and should break fellowship over them with.

It's focusing on the Doctrines of Grace. For the record, not all Reformed camps hold to amillennialism. Can't paint with broad brushes on the categories you listed.

Can't paint with broad brushes on the categories you listed.

I respect your opinion on that, but I'll paint with what I consider to be the correct brush.

I am not ecumenical, my friend...
I hold that any true believer is going to eventually come together with others of His kind in the unity of the faith...
I don't view it as an impossibility in this life, nor do I overlook error in favor of unity...

Rather,
I am a firm believer in truth at the expense of unity.

The church is the house of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth ( 1 Timothy 3:15 ),
it is not affiliated with conflicting teachings, beliefs and practices.

I wish you well, and bid you a good evening.

 

[Reformed1689]

I respect your opinion on that, but I'll paint with what I consider to be the correct brush.

My point was that you can't say Reformed are amillenial because that isn't true. You can't say Presbyterian is ok with woman pastors, that's not true. That is too broad of a brush. You need to be specific about denominations.

 

[Dave G]

My point was that you can't say Reformed are amillenial because that isn't true.

OK, I admit that not all "Reformed" are amillennial.
But I can say that many of them are, and it is the truth.

You can't say Presbyterian is ok with woman pastors, that's not true.

Same as above, Dave.

That is too broad of a brush. You need to be specific about denominations.

I respect your opinion,
but I both agree with it ( to an extent ) and I disagree with it.

I don't see the Bible anywhere teaching this thing called "denominations"....
Regardless of the reality of the situation.
God's people are "Christians", and there is but one faith...
One faith that it seems everyone who professes Christ, as a whole, will never come into the unity of, in this lifetime.

I also know the reasons and factors behind this,
and from my perspective it has to do with "tares" and false teachers.

However,
If it keeps you from being offended, then I will adjust my statements accordingly.



That said,
I reserve the right ( and the duty ) to fellowship and partner with whoever I see not compromising with the word of God.

The reason I am offended is because I am Reformed, and I am definitely not amillenial.

My apologies to you, and I ask your forgiveness for the offense.
