Based upon my observations, it would seem there are various questions that divide the Presbyterian Reformed Church (PRC - http://presbyterianreformed.org/ ) from the Free Presbyterian Church of Scotland (FPCS - http://www.fpchurch.org.uk/ ). Below are some of those questions I have observed. In the parenthesis following each question I have placed links to articles explaining my personal view on the question.
