	Christ's Mediatorial Kingship -NRA
		First of all, there is a common conception, especially in the RPCNA, that the doctrine of Christ's mediatorial kingship is distinctive to the Reformed Presbyterian Church and is even a uniquely RP contribution to the wider corpus of Reformed theology.
		Pockras, is that the doctrine of Christ's mediatorial kingship is a doctrine common to Reformed theology and is not at all distinctive to the RPCNA.
		What this means is that while the RPCNA retains the traditional language of covenanting, it has in fact departed from the substance of the older idea of covenanting.

		Calling the PCA the main conservative Presbyterian denomination overlooks the older, though smaller, RPCNA, ARP, and OPC, among others.
		I know of none of the smaller, conservative denominations “fighting liberalism as more evangelicals are accepting women’s ordination.” While I agree “women’s ordination” is a liberal issue, the MSL, WSL, PCA, ARP, RPCNA, or OPC are not even considering the ordination of women as elders.
		The EPC has made this a local option; so they are not “fignting” the issue either.
