Scripture does not show God predestining anyone to damnation

one just has to read Ezekiel 33 to realise how wrong the Calvinist false doctrine of double-predestination is.

And the OPC with it's other errors also believes this non-biblical doctrine and furthermore, the OPC condemns as damnable heretics Methodists and Pentecostals (and other Arminians) who do not follow this non-scriptural OPC teaching:
In fact the OPC says this about those who deny the non-scriptural double-predestination, God pre-damns people idea of the followers of Calvin. Hence they condemn followers of Christ like Methodists/Pentecostals etc. here is a quote from the OrthodoPresbyterianC site
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.
the OPC with it’s double-predestination seems to willingly cause it’s cultists to plumb the depths of despair — since they do not believe in repentence, then anyone who fails then is told by the OPC that they were never Christian.

Read your Bible, Cronos. You appear stuck on one opinion of one person.

And like the pope, that person is not infallible.

That's a long stretch Cronos...and even then seems more like your digging for something which isn't there.

Here’s an interesting link on how the OPC sees themselves. You might take the time to read. Though they are more liberal than I would be comfortable with.
