PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH IN AMERICA (PCA)   

Issues/Concerns regarding this denomination: 

Infant Baptism - Listed below is what this denomination believes.
"1. Baptism is a sacrament of the new testament, ordained by Jesus Christ, not only for the solemn admission of the party baptized into the visible Church; but also to be unto him a sign and seal of the covenant of grace, of his ingrafting into Christ, of regeneration, of remission of sins, and of his giving up unto God, through Jesus Christ, to walk in newness of life. Which sacrament is, by Christ's own appointment, to be continued in His Church until the end of the world. 2. The outward element to be used in this sacrament is water, wherewith the party is to be baptized, in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, by a minister of the Gospel, lawfully called thereunto. 3. Dipping of the person into the water is not necessary; but Baptism is rightly administered by pouring, or sprinkling water upon the person. 4. Not only those that do actually profess faith in and obedience unto Christ, but also the infants of one, or both, believing parents, are to be baptized. 5. Although it be a great sin to condemn or neglect his ordinance, yet grace and salvation are not so inseparably annexed unto it, as that no person can be regenerated, or saved, without it: or, that all that are baptized are undoubtedly regenerated." (Source:  www.pcanet.org/general/cof_chapxxvi-xxx.htm#chapxxvii )

Covenant Theology - Listed below is what this denomination believes.
"We believe that God is gracious and faithful to His people not simply as individuals but as families in successive generations according to His Covenant promises." (Source: www.pcanet.org/general/beliefs.htm )
To find out what is wrong with Covenant Theology, please view our link on that topic here. 

Predestination - Listed below is what this denomination believes.
"We believe that salvation is by God alone as He sovereignly chooses those He will save. We believe His choice is based on His grace, not on any human individual merit, or foreseen faith."  (Source: www.pcanet.org/general/beliefs.htm )
To find out what is wrong with Predestination, please view our link on that topic here.
