Oh and he also writes
If you are still in the Orthodox Presbyterian Church— whether you are a minister, elder, deacon, or general member— and you are still loyal to the unique authority of God’s Word, and to the one true Gospel the Bible proclaims, then it is time for you to “come out from among them, and be separate” (2 Corinthians 6:17) (118, 119).
Now this is pretty good proof of the splitting nature of the various heresies -- the OPC has already split TWICE into the BPC and the EPC and they are only 28,000 people as of 2005 and still showing a downward trend in adherents, Their own website http://opc.org/GA/73rd_GA_rpt_topical.html says":
In 2005 three congregations withdrew from the OPC to join the Presbyterian Church in America, one of which was a rather large congregation, resulting in a net loss of members for the OPC in 2005. The membership of the OPC has remained at about 28,000 for more than two years, which is a cause of concern.
With these books by the Former Orthodox Presbyterian Church (OPC) ruling elder Paul M. Elliott, one can see the further splitting of the OPC or a reunion of the OPC into the PCUSA...

Read the books:
#A Denomination in Denial: An Evaluation of the Report of the Committee to Study the Doctrine of Justification of the Orthodox Presbyterian Church,

#Christianity and Neo-Liberalism: The Spiritual Crisis in the Orthodox Presbyterian Church and Beyond

It should help you, as the author says to “come out from among them, and be separate” (2 Corinthians 6:17) (118, 119).

When you figure out what Elliott is talking about, let us know. No one’s going to do your homework for you.
