NEW BOOK: Bold as a Lion: Christian Courage in an Age of Cowards. Now available in paperback and ebook! Get it here: https://amzn.to/49FjBA8 📖 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. If you want to see the baptism debate mentioned: Matthew Everhard vs Keith Foskey on the mode of baptism.
