While I was surfing around on the Internet and I stumbled across the Evangelical Assembly of Presbyterian Churches. Does Anyone know anything about this body? Are they yet another part of the split-P family? What is their history? Has anyone run across them before? What are your thoughts on this group?

Saw that, but I still was curious and thought perhaps someone on the PB would know more about their history.

More specifically, how did this particular group come into being? Was this group a part of the New Wineskins group that decided to start a new body rather than join an existing body?

Certainly not part of NWAC, I can assure you of that. It looks like a group of Non-Denom's that needed a polity. They do not look "Reformed" by any measure of the word.

They Subscribe to the 1903 WCF, which makes me even more curious as to their origins because those revisions were made in old PCUSA church. I know that the EPC also subscribes to this form of the WCF.

I have never heard of them and neither has this website which usually has all the info you need on Presby and Reformed Churches.

Just fyi, the PCA and OPC also endorsed some changes from the 1903 revision: the elimination of the last sentence of (1646) WCF 22.3 and the deletion of the assertion that the Pope is AntiChrist in (1646) WCF 25.6.

Thank you for the info, I didnt know that those chapters were changed in the 1903 revisions, I will look into that for sure.

Do you know anything about this group?

Sorry, I know zilch about the EAPC.

I emailed them last night asking for a detailed account of their history. I was puzzled when I saw that there were no congregations listed anywhere on their congregations tab. I was even more puzzled when they gave sort of a vague account of their history. I dunno, I guess I will find out later

When no one is willing to put their name "on it" as far as the site and face of the group, all sorts of warning bells should be going off.

When heresy rises in an evangelical body, it is never frank and open. It always begins by skulking, and assuming a disguise. Its advocates, when together, boast of great improvements, and congratulate one another on having gone greatly beyond the ‘old dead orthodoxy,’ and on having left behind many of its antiquated errors: but when taxed with deviations from the received faith, they complain of the unreasonableness of their accusers, as they ‘differ from it only in words.’ This has been the standing course of errorists ever since the apostolic age. Samuel Miller, Introductory essay, The Articles of the Synod of Dort (1841).

According to this source, it would appear that the group is Korean and may teach some outright heresy associated with the Unification Church.

I did some digging and while this church may have old ties to this old Uni pastor, there dosnt seem to be any evidence that the church believes or teaches it (I could be wrong though). I am still awaiting a couple emails back from: Davidian Watch, the EAPC website and this seminary.

Gee, Thanks!

I will have to look for some info. I just recently updated it, but I'll keep these guys on my radar!
