Present
Reformed Presbyterians can be characterised by having a belief in the Bible as the literal Word of God, which is clearly demonstrated in many individual members' stances on moral issues such as abortion, homosexuality and gambling laws. The various Reformed Presbyterian denominations worship God using Psalms only (a practice known as Exclusive Psalmody), unaccompanied by music, which they argue is set forth in the New Testament, a practice that, while widely followed in the past by Presbyterian and other churches, is followed by few denominations throughout the world today.
