In this episode of Kingdom Polemics, Pastor Aldo takes a unique approach to reviewing the recent General Assembly (GA) of the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA). Rather than rehashing the entire event, he offers insightful highlights and commentary on specific aspects of the assembly. Join Pastor Aldo as he shares his perspectives on the election of the moderator, the overall tone, and delves into key overtures that sparked intense discussion.

Pastor Aldo focuses on several notable overtures presented at the GA, providing his own views and even sharing clips of his comments on the assembly floor. These overtures include:

• O-23: Requiring Officers' Conformity to Biblical Standards for Chastity...
• O-20: Requesting Administrative Committee to Research Use of Electronic Records...
• O-12: Petitioning Government to End Sex-change Procedures for Minors
• O-26: Regarding Titling of Unordained People
• O-15: Disallowing Exhortation, Preaching, or Teaching by Women in Worship
• O-13: Allowing All Persons as Witnesses in Cases of Process

Insights on Reformed or Radical Two Kingdoms (R2K):
During his commentary, Pastor Aldo suggests that differences of opinion on certain overtures may stem from varying interpretations of Reformed or Radical Two Kingdoms (R2K) theology.
