Reading about the Federal Vision in the OPC's Report on Justification is a peculiar experience as I have seen, first-hand, the practical outworking of that theology. I have seen the doctrines of the Reformation have less effect on people's lives than the few screwball ideas to which the congregants of Khrist Kirk tenaciously hold (good grammar, awful sentence -- which is why I'm somewhat of a deconstructionist). Their hypercovenantalism and leanings toward baptismal regeneration make them cavalier about sin -- any sin, except that of disagreeing with them. Their interest in the Great Commission is about nil (unless you consider singing psalms in nursing homes and serving hot chocolate and cookies to your detractors to be the proclamation of the gospel to the lost). And their preteristic post-millenialism borders on the absurd (essentially, we're in the process of transforming this earth into the new earth of the second coming -- and the judgement has already occurred). They're beginning to rival Mormonism with their horde of strange doctrines, and that's saying something.
