The salvation debate within the Presbyterian Church (USA)

The salvation debate within the Presbyterian Church (USA): History of the Presbyterian Church:
The "The Presbyterian Church (USA) was founded by the merger of the United Presbyterian Church in the United States of America and the Presbyterian Church in the United States in 1983. This healed a major split in the denomination which occurred at the start of the Civil War. In 1861 the denomination had split on north/south lines over the issue of the abolition and preservation of slavery.
In the mid 1920s, the church weathered a second serious crisis: the Fundamentalist - Modernist controversy. The denomination was divided whether to retain traditional, historical beliefs, or to accept modern beliefs concerning biblical inerrancy, inspiration of the authors of the Bible, the search for the historical Jesus, the existence and nature of Hell, etc. A commission, organized in 1925, successfully avoided a denominational schism. Some liberal ideas were accepted by the denomination at that time.
