Has anyone heard that the RPNA (GM) is going to close shop? I read about it here.

With the recent excommunication of half of their membership (without a church court to uphold/appeal to) it seems that Greg Price and his band of followers may have to throw in the towel. With Greg Price claiming to be the only lawful minister of the Gospel, it seems that Christ would have been better to him (tongue-in-cheek).

I thought that this could be discussed, not for gossip's sake, but because a number of my friends and acquaintances had been asked to sign an oath of allegiance to all that the ministry does/did/will do and were excommunicated... why? Because they asked questions.

Any thoughts or news?

Pray for these men and the sheep that they have led with a hard hand.

If I may ask:

1)How did the Steelites as a group come into existance, 2) What are some distinctives of this group as opposed to other covenanting groups, and 3) How did Greg Price (former OPC minister) become involved with them?

I enjoyed your play very much Ruben. When i was in higschool I participated a school plays and while i was reading your play, it reminded me being onstage again

Oh, the play wasn't mine. A brilliant, but erratic, German shepherd atheist with buddhist leanings wrote it.

A dog wrote a play?

It is God that multiplies our sorrows.... God, as a righteous Judge, does it, which ought to silence us under all our sorrows; as many as they are, we have deserved them all, and more: nay, God, as a tender Father, does it for our necessary correction, that we may be humbled for sin, and weaned from the world by all our sorrows; and the good we get by them, with the comfort we have under them, will abundantly balance our sorrows, how greatly soever they are multiplied. - Matthew Henry

Does this "denomination" have but one congregation?

I have been informed that this subject is quite 'touchy' here at the PB. I will recall my question/discussion if needed.

Don't they believe in the gift of prophecy? Or the office of prophet?

And a Christian romance novel (before his deconversion)!

How many members do the Steelites currently have?

That is correct, but mainly because of the potential for gossip. So, please, no "inside information" here.

I was wondering whether or not Steelites were allowed to join the board. I don't recall seeing anything in the rules against it.

Wow. It brings a new meaning to that movie "All Dogs Go to Heaven"

That question has been answered privately. There is no need to say anything else.

Do they believe in Prophets?

I am just seriously wondering because I have studied that topic of late and would love to know their opinion of it?

Zack has sadly come to reject the concept of heaven. He thinks now of absorption by the absolute.

This looks like a rumor and not quite come to pass. Probably best to follow any developments at

Here is their position on predictive prophecy.

Board member Pastor Dyck serves as a BP minister in Edmonton. He could give the entire (sad) story.

The Barrow brothers were members of the RPC-US (the Moorecraft group) until the early 90's. I was present at the GA when they withdrew (by letter). That was the same meeting at which the Talbott/Whitefield Seminary group withdrew(also by letter). Sorry I don't recall the names of the 2 presbyteries that these men represented, but they were the main figures in the Florida & the Alberta groups.

Talbott then played a major role in establishing the RPCGA. Reg went on to...well whatever it is that they have done.
