The stench of death is on the Presbyterian Church USA
Excellent news via the Orlando Sentinel:
Members of First Presbyterian Church of Orlando voted overwhelmingly Sunday to break away from the Presbyterian Church (USA) to join the conservative Evangelical Presbyterian Church (EPC).
The 1,759 to 185 vote exceeded the two-thirds majority needed to seek dismissal from the PC (USA). The 3,600-member First Presbyterian is the largest Presbyterian church in Florida and fourth largest in the nation.
First Presbyterian has been losing membership in recent years and blamed some of that on PC (USA) doctrines that permitted the ordination of gay deacons, elders and clergy. Some also blamed the decline on doctrines that quest questioned the Bible as the literal word of God and Jesus Christ as the only salvation.
“The PC (USA) has turned its back on God and is a denomination dying in the wilderness,” said Cleat Simmons, a church elder, who favored leaving.
Any denomination that accepts and affirms homosexuality might as well prepay their burial costs. The stench of death is heavy on the Presbyterian Church USA and all those who believe God should exit before they are consumed with the walking dead. This, people of God, is what allowing the leaven of gay christian theology will do to your local church and any organization which permits this wickedness to have place. Congratulations to the leadership and membership of First Presbyterian Church of Orlando.
