Knight George
Puritan Board Freshman
I've been a Christian for decades, and have been going to an evangelical free church since college. My church officially holds to view of "majoring on the majors and minoring on the minors of Christianity" (meaning they would be willing to die for the foundational basics of Scripture, but leave it up to the convictions of the individual on what they deem minor ex. Calvinism/Arminianism and other theological stances).
I'm a Calvinist theology nerd that is always reading a Puritan book or diving into Calvin's Institutes. Over the past few years, I've moved farther and father in this direction to the point I much more closely identify with a rather strict view of the Westminster Standards than I do with the "major on the majors and minor on the minors" stance of my Evangelical Free church (I'm starting to become concerned this view is unbiblical and dangerous).
I've done a thorough search of churches within 1.5 hours of my town, and cannot find a reformed church that is in line with my deeply studied/prayed over convictions. My church took communion this past Sunday, and I'm starting to become concerned I should not be taking it with them since my deep convictions have become so different than my Evangelical Free church (especially in regards to the regulative principal).
Should I still be taking communion at my longstanding church home which which I now theologically disagree on many points? If not, how do I practice the sacrament of the Lord's Supper with no reformed churches I can physically attend?
Thank you
