1. Yes, there are "reformed" churches that do not preach and/or teach what is found in Scripture and summarized in the historic Protestant confessions. Unfortunately, this is becoming more and more prevalent in our day.

2. My question still wasn't answered, however. What I want to know is: In your opinion, is it better to attend a church that doesn't hold consistently to the doctrines of grace, the RPW, etc. rather than stay at home? Let me provide a real-life example, which many will be able to identify with. There is no local sound church in a person's area. But there are several "evangelical churches" to choose from, e.g., Pentecostal, charismatic, fundamental Baptist, non-denominational assemblies, all of which are hold to semi-Pelagianism. They are all friendly and sincere about their professed faith. Sooooo, is it your opinion that one should attend one of these churches rather than remain home? I am NOT asking if you think it is desirable to seek membership in such churches, but rather to attend worship services and perhaps any classes being offered?

3. I am certainly in agreement that when one deliberately chooses to not attend a biblically sound and faithful church, one's spiritual life wanes. And, that would be in direct violation to Heb 10:25.
