Recent Presbyterian Controversies
There appears to be considerable confusion, even among New Hope members, about what exactly the various Neo-Reformed groups say, and who (if any) are actually heretics. (Yes, heretics do exist; no, we don't burn 'em at the stake.)

In the last few years among the Reformed (i.e. theologically conservative, informal liturgy) churches, a new school of thought has emerged, called the Federal Vision.

Federal Vision One-Sentence Summary: Baptism confers regeneration, justification, adoption, sanctification and membership in the visible church, but NOT eschatological perseverance; to remain saved, one must do good works and remain a church member.

Federal Vision is a school of thought with the following beliefs:

1. Goal to establish a global Christianity, to usher in a postmillennial Second Coming
2. Freedom to redefine theological terms like "faith" and "justification" as necessary
3. Adam under a covenant of grace like the rest of us, not a covenant of works (yes, people actually argue about this)
4. Membership in the visible church required for salvation
5. Baptized children and adults can receive the Lord's Supper
6. Justification by faith alone, but faith is never alone (although they are vague on what that actually means)

Most Federal Vision-ers are now members of the CREC, which is basically the Articles of Confederation to the Presbyterian Church's Constitution. Not everyone agrees with all the bullet points.

The PCA General Assembly (ruling body of the Presbyterian Church in America, the conservative branch of the Presbyterians) released a report condemning the Federal Vision and declaring several things in a very blunt manner:

1. Rejecting the covenant of works / grace framework is bad
2. Election by membership in the visible church is bad
3. Christ's merits are imputed to those who believe
4. Baptism does not include Christ's saving work
5. Those who are saved always persevere in the faith

There was a lot of bad blood on both sides, and most of the Federal Vision proponents ended up leaving the PCA.

Auburn Avenue Theology is another name for the Federal Vision, because the conferences that created the movement were hosted by the Auburn Avenue Presbyterian Church in Monroe, LA.

New Perspective on Paul is an academic movement stemming from N.T. Wright and others in the 1960s, that has been used to support the Federal Vision. I don't think anybody has explicitly condemned it yet, but it contains statements like "Justification is not about how I get saved but how I am declared to be a member of God’s people" that are rather troubling.
