I didn't know which forum to place this in because there are so many issues here.
I heard that Michael Horton is involved with this group. I just recently learned about this site. It looks like Dr. Horton is heavily involved with it. Does he endorse this woman Pastor?

A woman Pastor is given credence on this site.
Chelsea Kingston Erickson serves as Pastor of Youth and Families at First Congregational Church in Hamilton, MA,
Her view is very lopsided and seems to view everything through the lens of justification instead of understanding salvation as a whole. She makes reward from God sound like it is something that is always to be viewed as meritorious.
She is also incorrect about some other things. She tries to make all ground sound level when it comes to our identity. Yes, sure all ground is equal or level at the foot of the cross. But we also have some responsibility for our character as a Christian. We are excluded from certain offices of the Church if we are not blameless or have a good reputation. We can also be excommunicated for behavior. There is so much imbalance in this Lady Pastor's teaching. It appears to be another over emphasis on the justification issue again.
She is wrong by title...
God Doesn't Reward Our Hard Work and Good Behavior
The Heidelberg Catechism teaches that God does indeed graciously reward our good works: Q&A 63:.
But do our good works earn nothing,
even though God promises to reward them
in this life and the next?
A.
This reward is not earned;
it is a gift of grace.
This is confusing to me why Dr. Horton or something called Core Christianity would endorse a Female Pastor.
