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.  | As far as I am aware, the RPCNA is officially theocratic, but not everyone is a Theonomist (in the Bahnsen-Rushdoony mould) though some are. The RPCUS, on the other hand, is officially Theonomic - but they are a totally different denomination.
I have never actually met another Theonomist, just talked to them by e-mail and phone.
