Thank you, brother.
I have greatly benefited from your work.
One of the most helpful distinctions was your video on telling Jordon Peterson to stop preaching the Bible or something to that effect. The term evangellyfish, makes complete sense, in terms of what itchy ears produce in the life of someone with one foot in the world's system.
'Be not conformed to this world' Romans 12:2
'Choose you this day' Joshua 24:15
I think that when we listen to those in a secular arena playing pastor, or simply sharing biblical principles, and we harken unto that type of Christian-ese, it is easy to fall into a JP, Ted Talk, evangellyfish, luke warm walk with the LORD. Don't even get me started on the chosen.
Thank you, pastor, for your faithful commitment to THE WORD.

When I saw your title my first thought was to answer the question Yes and No, but I could not have given a reason for my answer, now I can. Thank you. You alluded to this but I had one more thought and that is Evangelicals would say Worship = Music / singing, usually with some sort of āworship leaderā standing with his band leading the singing for the first 20 minutes of the service. The music is almost always very contemporary, and gradually goes from very upbeat music to very slow, quiet music. Thatās itā¦ worship over, time for a sermon. This formula is certainly not what we would call worship. Our worship would encompass not only singing, but being led in worship by a pastor in the reading of scripture, prayer, personal confession of sin, the assurance of pardon, the singing of psalms and hymns with rich, sound theological lyrics, the preaching of the word, and the use of the sacraments. All of these things would be considered worship to us.

This was very helpful. Iām evangelical and I wanted to put that out there up front. That said Iāve never seen lasers and smoke in church. I donāt think Pentecostal outbursts are appropriate in a service. I do attend church, three times a week, and even teach expositorily, verse by verse, when my pastor needs a week off. We donāt have a denomination but rather a mix of folks from Baptist to missionary to ex-Catholics and more. I think when it comes to doctrine most evangelicals that I know consider things like the Westminster confession to be similar to Roman Catholic catechism, and even if not appropriate (and wrong to think in those terms), they think that starts crossing the line into papal authority types of issues. I do appreciate that PCA doctrines outlines things like how to discipline situations in the church. That would have come in handy many times. Again I thought this was a great explanation and I look forward to understanding Presbyterian more.

Excellent video and great explanation of evangelicalism and the differences between that and Presbyterians. Great point about evangelicalism being pragmatic. To me that point is a slippery slope of evangelicalism as it assumes God needs our help to get people in church and get saved because āit works thereforeā¦ā. Yep I am finding I am more and more Presbyterian by the minute. LOL

Pastor Everhard, can you please do a video on baptism, specifically if a person should get rebaptised if when they originally got baptized, they never repented of sins or even understood what Jesus did for us on the Cross? (I was baptized over 13 years ago at a church that never taught about sinners needing to repent, and I never understood until I got saved in 2021....do I need to be rebaptised?)

āYou donāt remember being baptized so you need to be baptized againā??
I donāt remember being circumcised, but Iām sure not going to try that again! As a reformed Baptist I think you should be baptized by emersion as a believer. But that is not necessary for salvation, only to be an officer in the local reformed Baptist church.
I confess the LBCF so I cannot be an officer of the OPC church of which I am a member. No problem, I agree with that.
Doctrines are important, too. Studying the WCF and/or the LBCF make one more knowledgeable about our relationship with God and keep one from falling for false teachings.
Great video on explaining the reformed view of evangelism.

Iām Baptist. A few decades ago, circumstances pushed me toward a non-denominational church. Being in the mainline evangelical church scene I felt as though I fell asleep. Thankfully the Lord woke me up and Iām now in a church that teaches right from the Bible and actually believes their own doctrinal statement. The evangelical church does no such thing. Their statement of faith stated they believe in the trinity and that scripture alone is Godās word but hired a pastor that was a modalist and promoted the āhearing the voice of Godā doctrine. Iām so thankful Iām out of that church. Iām definitely not evangelical by the current definition.

In my country The Philippines, It was the Presbyterians who started the Philippine Evangelical Church. At the start of the 20th century they met together and called the Baptists, Methodists, and Presbyterians and other Protestants to form the Philippine Evangelical Church. Evangelicals in the Philippines have been instrumental in bringing unity to the Body of Christ the Church. Today although there are different denominations, the Philippine Council of Evangelical Churches unites the denominations together. We also use Evangelism Explosion which was founded by D James Kennedy of Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church a PCA Church.
