"The Holy Spirit uses the pure preaching of God's Word to save us and our children"... Georgetown PRC website.
Huh. I always thought Jesus did that when he died on the cross and He said it was for everyone. Who knew it is the PR preaching that does that for PR parents and PR children. Not sure about everyone else but wow, they seem to think most are going to hell. Silly me. I thought Jesus said that our love towards humanity was what shows the world who He is. I guess I'm not going to the PR version of heaven and I'm very ok with that.

I wasnt even fully aware of this PR teaching until a couple years ago, it simply wasnt part of my standard diet of sermons. But yeah, they teach that salvation comes to believers via "The Call" and "The Call" comes via "The Preaching". In PR world the preaching itself is actually a component of their theology. |

Wonder if this is why they believe that everyone in the (PR)church unless proven otherwise is born saved…

This is one of the ways they scare people into staying. They take our longing to be with God and to be loved by Him and weaponize it. 😔
Purity comes from God alone. Pure preaching is just a horribly arrogant and prideful term they use to trap sincere but anxious believers.
If listening to the pure sermons is how we get the Holy Spirit and receive our salvation, then doesn’t that make attending the correct church with pure preaching a form of works righteousness? Either we are saved by faith through grace or we aren’t. We can’t be saved by grace AND AND AND…
The people sitting in the pews are filled with the exact same HoLy Spirit as a pastor preaching is. Let’s not elevate the pastor (reverend) to having a special form of the holy spirit. There is one spirit. And lay people get to have it too!!! Having been out of the prc for decades I can tell you with certainty the Holy Spirit is alive and well (more so!) outside of the PRC.
Tremendous Arrogance and Pride are all I see in “Pure” preaching.

To be a minister and call your preaching pure is so bizarre that it doesn’t even get questioned. Complete crock of garbage.
