As many friends as I have who are in great Reformed Baptist churches, and no matter the level of teaching (in SOME areas,remember they are still baptist  ) they will still teach you (and more importantly your children) a false view of the covenant, the sacraments, & church government.
IMHO the insistence of (almost all) Baptist on (heretical) rebabtism of covenant children would be a deal breaker.
Since I am convinced that for a covenant child to be re-baptised (sic) would be a denial of the faith, I could not in good conscience place my family in that setting long term.  |
My first choice would be to drive the hour to the more solid church (I thought I remember you saying there was one). I have to agree with Kevin on this one. The sacraments, covenant and church government matter. Both options are definately less than ideal, but I hesitantly say the PCA would be the better of the two.
I drive 50 minutes to my church while there is a reformed baptist church about five minutes away. At the baptist church, you have to be a member to partake in the Lord's Supper and they would most certainly insist on re-baptism and an affirmation of the credo position to place membership. So, we couldn't really fully fellowship there under those circumstances anyway. Kind of a bummer, some of my dear brothers attend there.
