The Highway Forums General Discussion Open Forum The PCA: Its Compromised Past, ...

As is most always the case, removal of heretics when a denomination/church reaches this level of apostasy is near impossible. Why? Because the false teachings were not dealt with expediently when they were first discovered and thus they became widespread. And, those who embraced these heresies had the influence and/or power by the time there was any movement to do anything about them. And thus there were either no trials or if there were, most of those charged were exonerated, e.g., as were the 3 FV heretics which Dr. Elliott mentioned by name in his presentation. What is sadly true about the PCA is that the OPC denomination is moving down the same path. Dr. Elliott wrote about the OPC in his excellent book, Christianity and Neo-Liberalism: The Spiritual Crisis in the Orthodox Presbyterian Church and Beyond.
