@ClubCalvinist For me it was theology. For my wife it was modern baptists' gripes with babies and children in service

This is an interesting question. 99% of Christians aren’t theology nerds. I’ve brought 3 friends of mine to Presbyterianism simply by asking them to come to church. Posting Calvin on X won’t cut it. Sometimes it’s not more complicated than “wanna come to church with me?”

What gets people in the door of a Presbyterian church, if that’s not the tradition they grew up in? I’m a cradle presby so this is pretty much all I’ve know my entire life.

@becomelutheran Of all the reasons to call Luther autistic I didn't think "is means is" would be the one
English
A new family came to our church today. The husband had very strong opinions. He is an S. Choir fan. Knew everything about the Magdeburg Confession and never opened the Small Catechism. Called Luther autistic for saying "is means is." This is going to get tricky

@ThePaladin440 I would like to formally thank the Bishop of Rome (Clement) for demonstrating correct ecclesiology
English
PROTESTANTS
In order to not get absolutely slammed by Roman and Eastern apologetics, we need a coherent ecclesiology and authority structure for the visible church.
Without this, how can we say that our visible church is true or that we are authoritatively and visibly correct?

@RobertC83522680 @LutheranAnswers Not really sure what you're getting at. People disagree on all manner of issues. But OP seems bent on some kind of sensationalism by triumphalistically "refuting" Huff's statements with alternative views and touting it as a "fact check."
In short, it's click bait.
English
@AtomicPotato216 @LutheranAnswers So your question has been answered to your satisfaction? You know where he got that info now?
Do you think it's possible he cited one or two Christian scholars?
English
Is Wesley Huff correct about everything he says? I checked with a bunch of people that dismiss all of Huff's arguments a priori and the results will SHOCK you!
Derek Lambert MythVision Podcast@DerekPodcast
Wesley Huff is the most viral apologist on the planet right now. Joe Rogan. Piers Morgan. Diary of a CEO. Millions of views. So I fact-checked his biggest historical claims against the actual peer-reviewed scholarship from Cambridge, Oxford, and Yale. Every single one collapsed. 66 books? Wrong number. 1,600 years? Wrong math. Luke the historian? The census fails. Gospel names prove eyewitnesses? Fiction passes the same test. His dating timeline? Not even close to mainstream. Clip by clip. Source by source. This is Part 1. Full video linked below. Part 2 on manuscripts drops soon.

@Protestia If you describe God merely as "so cool," you've lost me

@MetzUAC1530 Is this some new kind of trinitarian heresy??
English
Brito is not my favorite Protestant but he is right.
1. I went to an RC high school and 90%+ were functionally pagan, even the confirmed ones.
2. The newer breed of apologist base their arguments so strongly on their felt needs for certainty, and so punt biblical questions to their magisterium, circumventing the need to be responsible readers and exegetes.
3. Even worse, many actively denigrate scripture, both in its authority and clarity
4. The Pontifical Biblical Comission is overwhelmingly liberal so good luck with that

Former Protestants will discover after one generation that Romanism will produce biblical illiteracy in their children's children.

@ryanburge Shoutout to the fellow something elses out there
English
In 1972, 32% of Protestants were Baptists. It's 29% now.
Methodists have dropped from 22% to 8%.
Non-Denoms have risen from 3% to 30%.

Like how scripture interprets scripture?

@RevIsaacWirtz The Magisterium interprets it. You don’t have one.

@PastorDoostyn I've been dwelling a lot on the prodigal son recently with respect to repentance, and it's a beautiful picture because it imagines it as simply as possible: return to Christ. The son was thinking about penance, but the father ran to him as soon as he could see him returning.

@ClubCalvinist Another random, uncontroversial, yet interesting take.
You should be proud

Really interesting article, but separately, this wouldn’t be a debate for the ~4% of the population with aphantasia, or those with the inability to produce any mental images at all. What a bizarre condition.

@redeemed_zoomer When I was 5 my RCA church sold our building to a Korean congregation, and I kind of wonder if it was one of these
English
Most people don't know this, but the Korean churches in the PCUSA have their own Presbyteries and frequently ordain pastors from WTS and RTS. They all confess Biblical inerrancy on their websites. Many are even young earth creationist.
Btw I'm not even expressing any opinions about this I'm just letting people know

@PresbyInn Personal fan of First Baptist NYC. Located on Broadway. Faithful to the gospel.

@AtomicPotato216 @PresbyInn yup. been there, done that. But I do love Bill Withers....
English
Went to a Dutch Reformed Church once and during the offering a guy sang "Lean on Me" by Bill Withers to reinforce the sermon on the importance of Christian community.
