I am currently a PCA member, and let me say right up front, I am not necessarily persuaded of the Framework view of Genesis 1-2. That being said, I have been giving it some thought lately and spoken with some friends about the subject. I was cautioned about considering the Framework view because in the future I plan to attend Seminary at RTS and God-willing, be ordained in the PCA at some point in the future.
All that is background to say, the reason I was warned about the Framework view was not on grounds that it was wrong, unscriptural, or what have you. I was warned about the view because I am hearing from a lot of people that I could never get ordained in the PCA if I hold the Framework view (even though it appears to be an acceptable position according to the PCA's controversial Creation Study Committee Report).
So that's my question - in your experience, is it impossible to be ordained in the PCA if one holds the Framework view of Genesis? As a potential followup, are there other denominations such as the OPC or URC where such a position is more palatable?
[By the way, this topic is NOT an invitation to debate the merits of the Framework view. This is posted in the "Church Office" forum for a reason. Thank you for respecting the limits of what I want to discuss here.]
