    Schism Defined: Response to Redeemed Zoomer and Jordan Cooper

    Is the PCA Really Schismatic? A Biblical Response to Redeemed Zoomer & Jordan CooperIs it ever biblical to leave a church or denomination? Or is every separation from an established church an act of sinful schism?In this video, I respond to recent arguments by Redeemed Zoomer and Jordan Cooper regarding the doctrine of schism. Rather than beginning with historical theologians like Samuel Rutherford or Robert Baillie, I argue that we must first begin with Scripture itself. What does the New Testament actually teach about schism?We examine every major New Testament use of the Greek word schisma and ask several important questions:What is the biblical definition of schism?Is doctrinal error ever a legitimate reason to separate from a church?Does the Westminster Confession support Redeemed Zoomer's understanding?Which branch is actually guilty of schism when a denomination abandons biblical truth?Is the PCA a faithful continuation of historic American Presbyterianism—or is it the PCUSA?What can we learn from 1 Corinthians, John's Gospel, 1 John, and Christ's High Priestly Prayer?How should Christians pursue unity without compromising truth?Along the way I discuss:Redeemed Zoomer's recent statements on schismJordan Cooper's helpful contributions (and where I differ)The Westminster Confession of FaithSamuel Rutherford and Robert BaillieThe PCA, PCUSA, OPC, and NAPARCChurch discipline and the marks of the true churchFemale ordination, doctrinal fidelity, and ecclesiastical renewalWhy true Christian unity must always be grounded in biblical truthMy conclusion may surprise you. While I strongly disagree with Redeemed Zoomer's definition of schism, I remain hopeful that God is raising up a faithful remnant within the PCUSA and that genuine Presbyterian unity may yet be possible through repentance and renewed commitment to the authority of Scripture.If you enjoy careful biblical theology, Presbyterian history, Reformed doctrine, and thoughtful discussion of current issues facing the church, please subscribe for more content.Books Mentioned📖 Hold Fast the Faith📖 The Jonathan Edwards Study Bible (now available for preorder)Support Future PastorsIf you'd like to help train faithful ministers through the Jonathan Edwards Scholarship at Reformed Presbyterian Theological Seminary, please consider supporting this important work.If this video was helpful:👍 Like the video💬 Leave your thoughts in the comments📤 Share it with a friend🔔 Subscribe for weekly videos on Reformed theology, church history, and Presbyterianism.#Schism #Presbyterian #PCA #PCUSA #RedeemedZoomer #JordanCooper #ReformedTheology #WestminsterConfession #ChurchHistory #BiblicalTheology #Presbyterianism #NAPARC #OPC #Ecclesiology #ChristianUnity #ChurchDiscipline #MatthewEverhardJONATHAN EDWARDS STUDY BIBLE: PRESALE!

    PCA General Assembly Review 2026: What REALLY Happened!

    What really happened at the 2026 PCA General Assembly? In this full insider recap, I break down the biggest votes, controversies, debates, and trends shaping the future of the Presbyterian Church in America. From the dramatic moderator election… to the defeat of female deacons… to the surprising silence of Side-B Christianity… there was a lot happening on the floor of GA this year. In this video, I discuss: ✅ The close moderator race and election of Mel Duncan✅ Why Overture 37 (female deacons) failed decisively✅ “Clickergate” and the controversy everyone was talking about✅ The future Directory for Worship✅ The PCA’s new AI Study Committee✅ The Christian Nationalism report✅ Why the Danvers Statement matters✅ The rise of young conservative and confessional leadership✅ Missions, evangelism, and where the PCA is growing✅ Why progressives appear to be losing influence The PCA continues to grow, reporting 5,000+ professions of faith and another year of significant expansion. But major questions remain about leadership, theology, worship, denominational identity, and the future direction of conservative Presbyterianism.
