Does this mean works aren't necessary for salvation? No! But it does mean that all who trust in Jesus as their Lord and Savior can have assurance of salvation and peace with God!
The doctrine Presbyterians are famous (or infamous) for! Does God really control everything? Do we have free will? Why should I evangelize if God has already decided who will be saved?
What does the word "Presbyterian" mean? It refers to the way we run our churches. "Presbyter" means "elder" because our churches are run by councils of elders. We believe all leaders in the church are equal and nobody is head of the Church but Christ!
Presbyterians do NOT believe Communion, or the Lord's Supper is just a symbol. We believe we ACTUALLY eat Jesus's body and drink His blood. However, we believe this is a spiritual, rather than a physical thing.
What makes Presbyterian theology unique? We believe ALL of Scripture is the unfolding of the SAME overarching Covenant. That means we are in the SAME Church as Adam, Abraham, and Moses!
