I gave you Martin Luther’s writings on predestination.

Here’s the Anglican’s affirmation of the same in the 39 Articles...

Likewise there are reformed Methodists and Pentecostals. Google them yourself.

1.this is what the LCMS site says
The LCMS does not believe that Scripture teaches a predestination to damnation: God desires all to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth (1 Tim. 2:3-4).
2. you give us a http://reasonablechristian.blogspot.com BLOG as proof for what Anglicans believe??

do you think that these OrthodoPresbyterianC beliefs are true?

Comments like these from the OPC website
Arminianism is indeed a heresy,....

The Bible teaches that Christ did his atoning work on behalf of his elect people, and no others.....

Since the teachings of Arminianism are contrary to Scripture, they are manifestly false. They are serious perversions of the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Are Arminian preachers heretics? In a sense, yes,

Is Arminianism a damnable heresy? Yes.
Arminians = Methodists, Pentecostals, some Baptists. So, as an OPCer, do you agree to this OPC belief that all Methodists, Pentecostals etc. are damnable heretics?

For which I am duly thankful. The only problem with your position is that this is from the Reformed early Anglican position. Not the Lutheran one. I am not aware of any Calvinist Lutherans. I am aware of the Calvinist Anglican, especially in terms of English and American history. The Reformed Methodists are theologically to the left of both, which is saying something. Pentecostals really are a free for all in terms of individual beliefs, so it would not surprise me to see a handful of Reformed Pentecostals.

It does not however, deter from the fact that strict Calvinist - is the PCA still considered Calvinist now they are changing their practices? - sects consider Pentecostals in a broad brush swipe to be heretical.
