5 Things You Will Never Find in a Presbyterian Church!
Episode description
📖 DESCRIPTION: If you visit a conservative Presbyterian church, you might be surprised by what you don’t see.
No images of Jesus.
No altar calls.
No sermon gimmicks.
No Apocrypha.
No baptismal pool.
In this video, I explain five distinctive features of confessional Presbyterian worship and theology — and why we believe these practices are rooted in Scripture.
We cover:
The Second Commandment and images of Christ
The Regulative Principle of Worship
Why Presbyterians reject altar calls
Why we don’t use the Apocrypha as Scripture
Why pouring (not immersion) is the ordinary mode of baptism
These convictions flow from historic Reformed theology and the confessional standards of conservative Presbyterian churches.
You may disagree — and that’s okay. Let’s discuss it in the comments.
