That's a given, Tom, that there are a few faithful churches within these denominations. However, the indisputable fact is that the "root" of both those denominations is rotten and thus the "tree" is destined to die, albeit a slow death. The PCA is the worse of the two but the OPC is still on track and in the race to apostasy. It's the same scenario that most always takes place; slow infiltration of heresy and unbiblical practice (worldliness) promoted by seminary professors, teachers and pastors and when the small minority of laity which God has given discernment and wisdom sounds the warning, they are ignored and/or silenced by the blind denominational loyalists and often kicked out by the power of the establishment.

I've recommended the following book before but it is certainly germane to mention it once again: Christianity and Neo-Liberalism: The Spiritual Crisis in the Orthodox Presbyterian Church and Beyond by Dr. Paul M. Elliott.
