If you count all that have ever existed, it's more like thirty. And that's just in the USA.

Count 'em.
11. Eleven. 9+2.
Even a tax lawyer wouldn't be able to follow that flow chart ...
As i have stated from day one. The Real Gay Agenda is to destroy the Church from within . They are getting very close to calling this a Victory.
Unfortunately for anyone trying to be a Christian in PCUSA, the denomination’s method of defending traditional morality (table or return for further study proposals contrary to it, rather than killing them outright and denouncing their advocates as heretics) was doomed to failure by virtue of the “gambler’s ruin” phenomenon. They actually had a surprisingly good run — the “buggery’s not so bad, let’s ordain poofters” proposition had been being brought up and tabled or returned for study for a couple of decades.
“I think it’s like letting black people come to white churches, or letting women become ministers. It’s inevitable.......LOL!!!!!
I would agree with you, with the only caveat being that the only sacred traditions are those commanded in scripture.
When Tradition sound doctrine accompanied by holy living is not present in a church, this is exactly what happens, (fixed)
The Catholic church has no shortage of traditions. Would you say there is also no problem of homosexuals in the pulpit?
Those churches have abandoned the teachings of Christ and the apostle Paul and have adopted the book of liberalism where what is forbidden is subject to popular opinion.
Great googly moogly! I think I popped a blood vessel trying to read that chart. Who came up with that crazy thing?
Nah, I’ll decline, as I’m generally not interested nor inclined to get into denominational type discussions. All I’ll say is that it suffers from the same type of degenerate leadership, and is a domino waiting to fall. I certainly hope it doesn’t happen, but I’m mentally prepared for it, as I’ll immediately sever my lifelong, forty-year ties with the church then and there.
Once you severe branch from the tree, you never know what will grow.
It was perpetrated by the Presbyterian History Society of Philadelphia PA.
Clearly they don't have enough to do.
Funny that Wiki (ahem) pedia has the same chart I found. I got it direct from the Presbys, though. It's an interesting website if you like church history. I wrote an article for the Alabama Historical Review on the history of Baptist congregations in SE Alabama, it actually was kinda fun sorting out all the various dissolving and recombining associations and groups. If you're obsessive/compulsive, maybe. :-D
<< unbelievable - anything standing in the way now of any of the above?? >>
Nothing.
Once you get rid of chastity, all bets are off.
Isn't it adorable?
Absolutely. LOL! It's simply fantastic.
Churches that celebrate sin, PING
Their reasoning on behalf of “teh gays” doesn’t explain why they would also support letting single male ministers bang a different woman every week with no hint of scandal.
I understand that. Neither is this the Orthodox Presbyterian Church (OPC). Both PCA and OPC broke off when the Gramscian Marxists infiltrated PCUSA. While PCA and OPC are separate denominations, they still fellowship and have stayed with scripture.
I have a different belief than most on this because I was raised Presbyterian. Presbyterians don’t like to be told who they can’t hire as a pastor. They resist central office type rules regarding their church.
But the liberals have been running the church for years and I’m surprised the PCUSA hasn’t started installing bishops.
This is a joke, right?
