Are you interested in the Free Church of Scotland (Continuing)? Introducing FCC Standards, a digital library for exploring the FCC's Constitution; 3,950 Acts of Assembly (more to come); principles (including the Free Church Catechism and the Practice of the Free Church); worship; government; and history. The app includes an AI Query feature for research within the corpus, as well as full-text search; an easy-to-use document reader (no scans, all are fully OCR'd); a browser for the Acts by year and period; source references for citation checking; and a clean, mobile-friendly interface. It was designed to help office-bearers, applicants, and newcomers to the Free Church to learn more about her. The lectures were delivered by office-bearers at various Colloquia and Family Conferences. They have full-text transcripts, which are also used in answering questions. You can also watch the lectures on the site.
I field many questions about our denomination; perhaps this will help those who want to explore the church.
"But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all." (Galatians 4:26)
This is an early look at the project. More to come later.

Firstly, there is only one God. The Bible is clear. Your tap dancing doesn't fly. Three wills = three gods. #2 - The fruits that God speaks of would never include polytheism. The other so-called fruits are irrelevant if you don't even know God. #3 - The Creeds unite us against your forked tongue quite well. Baptists, Presbyterians, and others are quite united against Mormons today. So, the Creeds work. #4 - The devil doesn't have to try to divide those who are his. He has you and all the other cultists in his grip. Instead, he attacks and tries to divide those of us who believe in the One true God.
The problem is that you do not take the Bible at face value. There is only One God. You try to dance around that, yet it is so basic that every Israelite child recited that as their Creed in the Shema (Deut. 6:4).
@juliagulia614 As a minister of the gospel, I gave you direction: Repent of your false god & believe. That is all I will say to you. Today is the day of salvation. Believe before you draw your last breath. Else I will see you on the day of judgment & God will use my witness to condemn you.
The Mormon dustup going on is great. May it expose more to the wicked (and frankly, moronic) nature of this cult. I pray Mormons have their eyes opened & come to a saving knowledge of the truth. Mormons: turn from Mormonism, & to the only God & his gospel. He is gracious.
@juliagulia614 The Bible says that those who are unconverted are. It does not flatter them. I was like that too. But often the Lord uses the embarrassment of that to cause us to see the light. "So foolish was I, and ignorant: I was as a beast before thee." (Psalm 73:22).
We care because we believe your soul is going to hell if you do not believe in the One True God. We care because you misrepresent God's glory, and he is jealous, giving his glory to none other. It is not loving to leave you with the wrath of God abiding on you. Nor is it loving to have you spread damnable lies to others, imperiling their souls as well.
@dugganap68@ShawnMathis1972 I do not want or desire a condemnation of CN. Seriously, I am quite friendly to various aspects of CN. I want a Christian Nation. We pray for it often in our congregation. The last thing I want is the OPC to condemn CN.
@BerithPress Praise God! May the Lord continue to bless your growing family and your joint labors. "Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of the LORD".
@dugganap68@ShawnMathis1972 That is untrue. I am not pro R2K. I think Shawn (and others) know that. I also have sympathy for CN, though I am more of an Establishmentarian in commitment.
@RevJimOPC How could Daryl Hart, with all of his online ... antics, ever be on such a serious committee? A cursory look at the man's social media history could be used to discredit this committee's work, making it seem like a ... bad joke.
The Creeds and Confessions exist to maintain the honor and glory of God among men, to protect the Church from heresies, and to promote the unity of Christian people. The very reason cultists and heretics despise them.
@jasoninthehouse You are not a Christian. You are a cultist. Yet, there is time to repent and believe before you draw your last breath. Leave the cult and become a monotheist like all true Christians.
@MikeCrapo Not Christians. It is not "confounding" if you know what Christianity teaches: there is only one God. Mormons deny this. Nor is Christianity a "personal philosophy" either. It is based on truth. Mormons may be patriotic, but they are not Christians.
Very thankful for the Lord's ministry to us through you, brother. It was a tremendously edifying time culminating around the Table. Our personal conversations, time in the Word, and prayers together 1:1 were also a highlight of our season. We are praying for your ministry and that the saints in Opelika will be similarly blessed. May the Lord go before you and carry you through all of your labors. Praise be to his holy name.
@Egotiator@HansFiene You are not monotheists then. Which doesn’t help your case at all. You are heretics. There is a reason the creeds exist. To protect us from serpents like Mormons.
@ReallyOldLife Strange to say this when WLC 114 indicates that blasphemy should be punished. “albeit many such escape the censures and punishments of men“. WLC 113 speaks of blasphemy directly, Scripture proof is Lev. 24:11 - where one was put to death for it.
@BerithPress Last week, the rest of my family took a trip for a few days to visit friends and worship in Greenville, SC. It was just me & the dog. He refused to eat or drink for the first day, then mournfully slept in my girls' room. If only I were as devoted to my God as my dog is to us.
