So, Saint Machen (according to the Orthodox Presbyterian group that he created) formed the "conservative" branch of the Presbyterians? Then, how come the OPC had a break-away group under Carl McIntire that formed the Bible Presbyterian C (the BPC)

Strangely enough the BPC then split in 1955 to become the Evangelical Presbyterian C (the EPC), which then merged with the REformed Presbyterian C (RPC) to become the RPC, Evangelical Synod (RPCES?). And then, the BPC had another split to form the APC (American Presbyterian...)

Which of these factions consider MAchen a saint, which consider him a demi-god and which consider him wrong? Or do they all subscribe to all theories?

Most of those offshoots were about ordaining women.

However, the truth of Christ risen is preached in every one of them.

And every prayer in all those denominations is directed to the Triune God alone.

Pity Rome can't say the same.
