Which better? Dispy Baptist or emerging PCA?

When choosing between two churches, which would be better? A Baptist chruch that is dispensational but Calvinistic, they are heavily into Macarthur, good biblical, expositional teaching, pastor was a missionary to some former communist country and is a former Marine.

Or, a PCA church that is presbyterian in name only, very contemporary, church is not serious at all, people getting up in the middle of service to refill their coffee or get a bagel. The assistant pastor wears red snickers on the pulpit. However, both pastor went to Covenant and they are presbyterian.

I know someone at both. The PCA church is very people oriented, the Baptist chruch very teaching oriented.

The answers seems obvious, I guess, I just don't know if I want to go back to hearing about the "rapture" and who the Antichrist is all the time.

The question for us today is, will we be like the majority of Israel and continue to look in fear at the giants in the land and urge our fellow Christians to be "realistic," or will we be like Joshua and Caleb and faithfully follow our king, trusting to fulfill every one of his promises completely?
