Preamble: Hundreds of thousands of people are being deceived by the Presbyterian Church in America, a religious group which will often advertize itself as Christian and "reformed". Of course, many of the members are loving, ethical, Bible believing Christians, just like many Jehovah's Witnesses and Mormons are. I believe all of them that I met are sincere in their beliefs and they practice many of the same techniques as the aforementioned groups.

From the pulpit, PCA churches tell their followers that they believe the Bible. Yet, as you will see, when I tried to hold them to Biblical principles of truth and love, they produced a book called the Book of Church Order (BCO). Like the Book of Mormon is for the Mormons, the BCO is a book of conduct held in higher authority than the Bible.

I spent several years studying the group in Reisterstown, MD, and participating in their religious studies and social activities. I encouraged them any time I saw them following the God of Love as revealed in the Bible. Many of them are sincere Christians. I also questioned them when they were deviating from biblical grace. I thought what I discovered might be characteristic only of that assembly. Instead, the more I investigated up the chain of command, the more they deferred from the Bible to the BCO. Hence this attempt to reconcile with them using the process of grace and truth outlined in Matthew 18.
