I would say the majority of the OPC and PCA churches are solid, except for certain areas in the country. I don't know much about the Reformed denominations, except that the CRC is trending liberal. John C, I don't see this or any denomination including the OPC or the PCA being solid at all. We know that the denominations and the seminaries have been corrupted, probably 95% of the Churches today are not Churches at all. We used to go to an OPC Church that was I believe was called a Missionary Church. We got great preaching for a year and a half. Than they brought in a full time statism pastor, he had to preach there a year before he could become a pastor. I noticed right off the bat that he was preaching a form of Federal Vision. He was preaching Baptism regeneration and other heresies in this little 20 people church or so. He asked me early on to go to breakfast with him and, so one morning we went and he proceeded to tell me that I need to have a "high" view of churches, I than told him I did and he proceeded to tell me of “all” churches even a catholic church which is no church at all!! So the next week I prayed about this and I asked him to repent of this and he wouldn't. The elders lived out of town so I contacted one of the elders and told him what this guy was preaching and told me at breakfast and asked him to go with me on a Matthew 18 case. The first elder said that they "vetted" him and he would have never told me these things. So I went to the second elder, and remember these elders take an oath to God to be a watchman over the sheep amongst other things, he told me much of the same and there was only more or less pure churches and I told this Elder that they are either true churches that preach the gospel of God's word or false gospel churches! So I contacted the Session head and he was telling me the same type of things. Every one of these 3 elders twisted what I said to them and tried to make me out to be a troublemaker. I even sent 2 emails showing that I told this pastor he was wrong about going to false churches and even a catholic church, he replied to 1. And they would not go with me to confront this so called pastor preaching heresy. I told him to take my wife and I off the rolls or I would take the issue to the Presbytery and the General Assembly. Needless to say within a month or so they took us off the rolls. I got a call from a friend at that church who calls once in a while and he told me this so called pastor had quit the OPC and wants to start a free will type church right before the year was up! We would love to go to church where we live now but they are all semi-pelagian churches or other false gospel churches. So where would the community of believers in our town go since there are no true gospel churches here?
