Separation is a Bible doctrine, and there is drfit away from those God-given mandates. That is serious. Thank God the gospel is being proclaimed (here and abroad) as we are mandated and have the privilege to do.<br /><br /><br />LMLou Martuneachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08683967904677815711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30991724.post-17025190454692852932014-04-12T13:18:23.177-05:002014-04-12T13:18:23.177-05:00I don't understand Marc' comment. What ha...I don't understand Marc' comment. What has this discussion has to do with nit-picking others and criticizing fundamentialist? It seems anytime someone takes a stand for truth there is someone who will attack the character of that person and divert the attention from the real issue. Doctrine and separation from sin and worldliness are not "preferences." The article is addressing...."doctrinal drift." Yes, folks are going to hell and what fundamentalist are doing is preaching the Gospel and seeking to win the lost to Christ.

While there is and imo should be some flexibility and latitude on dress and music issues, lines of what would clearly keep us giving God benefit of the doubt are being crossed by leaps and bounds. <br /><br />The real and significant area of drifting is doctrinal and that of biblical separation principles in particular. It is clear and irrefutable that men like Kevin Bauder, Dave Doran, Matt Olson, Tim Jordan, et. al., have been increasingly willing to tolerate, allow for, ignore and excuse egregious doctrinal aberrations, ecumenical compromises and worldliness that permeates the men in and fellowships of the so-called " conservative " evangelicalism. <br /><br />They are being called for they are in error, they have changed and they are trying to influence an entire generation to adopt their new principles and practices. <br /><br />Kind regards, <br /><br /><br />LMLou Martuneachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08683967904677815711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30991724.post-80421293870394611642012-03-22T14:52:42.379-05:002012-03-22T14:52:42.379-05:00I know this is old, but I just came across it.
...I know this is old, but I just came across it. <br /><br />I won't talk about the logical fallacy of the "slippery slope" mentality, as I don't want that to be my main point. Instead, let me state an observation about Christian fundamentalism. Fundamentalists have the tendency to nit-pick others without looking at the sin in their own lives. That is certainly true of many, but especially fundamentalists. This article is an excellent example of this. An institution "drifts" away from your preferences in the area of music or dress and it becomes time to publicly call them out. Meanwhile, the world is literally going to Hell. May I suggest we take a lesson from Paul and thank God that they're preaching Christ even though we disagree on certain issues.Marcnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30991724.post-67670823285599484772011-04-11T18:31:38.046-05:002011-04-11T18:31:38.046-05:00Brian,

I wonder at Pastors who are truly workmen, and who truly shepherd their flock. How much work must that be?<br /><br />KevKevlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18080346872086553798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30991724.post-32481714315214583412011-04-10T22:13:10.554-05:002011-04-10T22:13:10.554-05:00Appreciate the comments Kevl.

If one errs in practice then doctrine will err as well, no exceptions. We must maintain fidelity to the Word of God and yes do so vigorously.Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08924581374605153929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30991724.post-6709245615634354422011-04-07T16:20:02.057-05:002011-04-07T16:20:02.057-05:00Hi Lou,

&qu...Hi Lou, <br /><br />This statement really speaks to me:<br /><br /><i>"Their real theology is what is taught or demonstrated, not what is stated in an old document that is ignored by board, administration, and faculty alike."</i><br /><br />I learned first hand that having a "Statement of Faith" does not protect an organization from <i>doctrinal drift</i>. <br /><br />Of course previous to last year's experience with my own ministry I had come to realize that "statements" are a poor indication of what is practiced in an organization. I just never thought it would happen in MY organization.... <br /><br />We must preserve good doctrine and do so vigorously!<br /><br />KevKevlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18080346872086553798noreply@blogger.com
