Accept Jesus and reject the allure of Satan and his crowds

Oh, indeed.

How many Roman Catholics does Rome boast of again?

How many OPCers does the OPC boast of again?

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.
so they make a lot of noise for such a small grouping and don't regard even their fellow Presbyterians well.

Some Calvinists even go so far as to Accuse Methodists and Arminians of having a Satanic gospel

And, you have the Former Orthodox Presbyterian Church (OPC) ruling elder Paul M. Elliott telling OPCers to quit the OPC, so it's due for it's third split soon, probably a terminal one, or the OPC may join the PCUSA.
