Neither are officially Theonomists - I plough a lonely furrow on that issue; in fact I know of only 2 other Theonomists in the whole of Ireland. Though I am sure there are others who might be sympathetic in both denominations

The difference between the PCI and RPCI is that the Covenanters are exclusive psalmody, no musical instruments and hold to the descending obligation of the Scottish Covenants. Some in the PCI might hold these views as well, but it is not the official position of the denomination.
Thanks for the explanation. I assumed that if you held to the descending obligation of the Scottish Covenants you were a Theonomist. The RPCNA is officially Theonomist, so I thought your denomination would be as well.
