Jerome Zanchius teaches that predestination ought to be taught as with the gospel. Certainly there is no gospel without predestination.
He says, "The Gospel is to be preached, and that not partially and by piece-meal, but the whole of it. The commission runs, 'Go forth and preach the Gospel'; the Gospel itself, even all the Gospel, without exception or limitation. So far as the Gospel is maimed or any branch of evangelical system is suppressed and passed over in silence, so far the Gospel is not preached. Besides, there is scarce any other distinguishing doctrine of the Gospel can be preached, in its purity and consistency, without this of predestination. Election is the golden thread that runs through the whole Christian system; it is the leaven that pervades the whole lump." - Absolute Predestination, pg. 89

Does your church preach the gospel connected with predestination? If it doesn't then id say you are part of the synagogue of satan. One that is filled with types and shadows that follows the antichrist.
