The Rotten Fruit of Two-Kingdom Theology
My wife and I have been members of the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA). It was started in 1973 because of the liberal drift of the Presbyterian Church in the United States. The liberal drift isn’t everywhere, but like cancer, it can spread rapidly. The most recent cancer is something
