| |  Question about the LAP and the FV.
Sometimes I realize I've been assuming something to be true without actually knowing it's true.
Is Pr. Wilkins the driving force behind the FV in the Louisiana Presbytery? Or was the FV - in a more diaphanous, ephemeral form - already present and he just "codified" it, so to speak?
IOW, is the LAP largely (though not entirely) FV because of the presence within it of Pr. Wilkins, or is it possible Pr. Wilkins is himself FV because he is in the LAP?

In the LAP, AAPC is the 400 pound gorilla like PCPC is in the NTP. Wilkins has been in that Presbytery for over 18 years and wheels a lot of influence.
Wilkins is definately one of the major sources of FV in the LAP. In fact he was getting into FV long before it became FV.

Ah. Well, that's what I figured, but not being in the PCA I wasn't certain.
Mare-see boo-koo. ;^)

PCPC is Park Cities Presbyterian Church and NTP is the North Texas Presbytery. Both are PCA.

Why is PCPC unique in the North Texas Presbytery?

PCPC has thousands of members; most PCA at best have several hundred maybe, so by size they have a great impact on NTP. They are also a very wealthy church having split from Highland Park Presbyterian, perhaps at the time the largest and one of the wealthiest PCUSA churches.

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.
