You can’t claim to be a Christian if you don't go to church. Likewise, you can't claim to be a member of Christ's Body if you don't read your Bible. Just call yourself a "pagan," have a coke, and smile.

In this episode, Peter, Pastor Nate, and Kyle discuss the political importance of the local church. Specifically, we dive into the topic of membership and what it has to become in Negative World.

The bar for membership has gotten so low it’s like we’re playing Limbo. Anyone and everyone can become a member. All you have to do is say “Jesus” a couple of times and read your Bible once a quarter.

We say “no.”

You wouldn’t sip kerosene or eat wood chips, would you? You wouldn’t willingly put something in your body that is poisonous or harmful, would you? The same goes with the church.

We have to raise the bar of membership. We have to rescue it from its plummet. For the sake of the Body. In the same way that we fence the table, we have to vet our members more rigorously.

For starters, members have to be Christians. They have to believe that the Holy Spirit is a divine person, not just a ghost. They have to believe that babies are sinners and need to be baptized in Christ.

Stuff like that.

It's been 18 months since the Presbytery of the Alleghenies formed an Administrative Commission to "help" our church secure the peace, unity, and purity of the congregation. But instead of help, our congregation experienced conflict, lawfare, and abuse of power at the hands of EPC leadership.

On Sunday, January 26, 2025, the church voted to disaffiliate with the Evangelical Presbyterian Church. The vote passed 106 in favor, 13 opposed, with 89% approval. The conflict is over.

Join Nate, Peter, and Kyle in Part Two of this special edition of The Parrhesian Podcast, as they share how it all ended.

Remember, the truth is bold!
