I realize you and some others see it differently, but I see both the PCA and OPC as strong denominations in their biblical teachings. Are their pockets and possibly one particular seminary that has allow for some bad teaching to enter in? Yes, though they may seem as trend-setters, they are really outliers in the two denominations.
1. Again, you haven't really provided the basis for your conclusion that the majority within the OPC and PCA are solid, as you put it.

2. I was a student at WTS in the late '70s and early '80s and I can sadly tell you that even back then there were seminary professors teaching serious heresy. It has since become much worse. There was a member here who also studied at RTS some years back and he related that there were some professors teaching Federal Vision at the school. Since then things have become much worse.

3. I am going to assume that you have read Paul Elliott's article on The Highway which deals directly with the PCA's continual decline? If not, you can read it here: The PCA's Apostasy: No More Lines in the Sand.

4. There is another member here who very recently went through a painful ordeal with the OPC, particularly one of their "carefully vetted pastors" and the SW Presbytery. Perhaps he will weigh in here and give you a brief rundown of what was being taught by this 'pastor' and the Presbytery's defense of him.

I could go on and on giving examples of the GA's of both denominations where heresy was deemed "acceptable" and consistent with the "Standards". These things are all a matter of record and not simply my personal opinion. grin
