I have friend from all of those Denominations.

My background was quite rough to be honest.

It took quite a while for me to be delivered of the common errors of humanistic "chritianity"

I was as a boy raised in the Anglican Church.

God saved me by Pentecostal Witness.

Attended Pentecostal churches and baptist until God showed me that they had stolen His glory in Salvation and claimed it was an act of their flesh ( will ) that got them saved.

I then went to Bible Presbyterian until I discover that Premillenialism and singing uninspired hymns was sin.

I and some other friends then started a Church ourselves call Puritan Reformed of Edmonton.

They went into what is sometimes called the "Steelite controversy" or in Europe "Camerons" (sp) and resurrected the Scottish Covenants especially the Sovereign League and Covenant of 1644 and then they accepted the Auchensaugh Renovation and the six "Terms of Communion" agreed upon therein. I do not believe the Lord's Supper belong's to the Church but the Lord only! Also I am in favor of confessions but I am Sola Scriptura to the end.

I at that point ( although I was told my membership vows were null and void because the original church was " unduly constituted" ) left that fellowship in protest.

I am now an adherant at a Psalms singing church that is a part of the Free Church of Scotland. It is a very good fellowship and although we ascribe to the principles of the Covenants and the Westminister Confession of Faith we truly see them as subordinate standards both in word and deed.

I now see the Church that I had a hand in starting as sectarian. I pray they repent of where they have landed but it does not look good to me.

In any case That is my church history minus a few details.
I have met G I Williamson he has visited my home and we use the RPCNA Psalm book at our church and in my studies at home.

Puritan Reform when we first formed it was a part of RPCNA.

I have a lot of "Heidelburg" friends from dutch background.

One of my best friends died this winter and we held the funeral at the OPC church. It was huge he was loved. I cannot abide by there understanding of the regulative principle however.

Hope your familiar with this lingo I may be assuming too much Hope not.
