Though I do not reject your premise that it started in the late 70s; it has only been out in the open for the last 3-4 years. And still, some Pastors and most RE and congregants are not aware of it. It has been masked under other movements for years. Only when the other movements distanced themselves from it, it became public - so to speak.
John,

May I respectfully suggest that you are being a bit naive? NPP/FV has been around for nearly 25 years but kept under wraps, so to speak. It has infiltrated many of the Reformed seminaries through its sympathizers, many of whom are professors. Now, you should surely realize that all it takes is one teacher to start things snowballing, e.g., Norman Shepherd at WTS. Each teacher has the potential to influence MANY students who then become pastors who then preach and teach many more within their individual congregations. The average pew-sitter simply accepts what comes from the pulpit and what is taught in Sunday School classes as "gospel truth". And thus, the "virus" spreads unhindered and without a whimper of objection.

NPP/FV is like a cancer and after 25+ years, this cancer has spread throughout the body and IMHO is terminal. The ONLY way one has of eradicating cancer is to catch it at its early stages and deal with it decidedly, e.g., removal by surgery. Thus, I believe anything which comes of these reports, etc., will be far too little and too late. However, all that being said, my confidence rests in the promise given by the Lord Christ, "I shall build my church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it." (Matt 16:18) There will always be a remnant which is faithful to God and His infallible Word; the truth Church of Christ and the Living God.

In His grace,
