So, the new denom start-up premise is in error.

IMO, there is no chance of the PCA adopting the NPP, FV, Auburn Avenue theology. Since I'm not as familiar with the OPC I can't say from any knowledge, but I doubt it would hold sway with them as well.
My impression is that what they are seeing in both the OPC and PCA isn't an official embracing of these heretical teachings, but rather a failure to discipline those who are teaching it within the denomination. Because, to the best of my knowledge which is admittedly limited, neither denomination has come out with an "official" ruling that clearly rejects and condemns these heresies for what they are. Thus, there is no basis upon which to discipline any individual who is ordained or appointed to office who does embrace and/or teach them. This issue has been going on for quite a number of years and if I were to guess, I'd say these people who are wanting a new denomination are simply "foreseeing" what has happened in most every generation where damnable heresies aren't quickly refuted and those promoting them expelled. Even in our own recent history, we have seen the demise of once conservative denominations due to their failure to discipline heretics and thwart heretical teaching, e.g,. PCUSA, PCA, and the CRC.

EDIT: I apologize for the typo above where "PCA" appears in the last sentence which should have been RCA. [Linked Image]
