I will be republishing a lengthy article here that was written by Dr. Lance Ketchum on the MN BA having in non-Baptist, non-separatist and hostile toward Fundamentalism Phil Johnson, John MacArthur’s right hand man for years. Here is a sample from Dr. Ketchum’s article,<br /><br />“<i>When professed fundamentalists such as Dr. Kevin Bauder, Dr. Douglas McLachlan, Dr. Timothy Jordan, and Dr. Dave Doran begin to defend men like Al Mohler, John Piper, Ligon Duncan, John MacArthur, Phil Johnson, Mark Dever, C.J. Mahaney, and Rick Holland (to name a few), it becomes very apparent that there has been a considerable change in direction regarding the practice of militant separation. This goes one step further when they invite these men to preach for them.</i>” <br /><br />Btw, Greg Linscott, one of SI’s largest contributors in various ways over the years, is one of the main coordinators of the Phil Johnson appearance. In any event, the <i>pseudo</i>-fundamentalist SI membership has been desensitized to authentic biblical separation to the point of disdain for it and have little discernment left for these things. Kevin Bauder, Dave Doran, Matt Olson and Tim Jordan can be thanked for their influencing the falling away from the mandates for militancy in biblical separation. These men have become the progenitors of <i>new wave</i> New Evangelicalism plaguing the NT church. Thanks again,<br /><br /><br />Lou<br />Lou Martuneachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08683967904677815711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30991724.post-28689400854729284522012-11-22T06:20:45.721-06:002012-11-22T06:20:45.721-06:00This is an excellent addition to the continued cov...This is an excellent addition to the continued coverage on separation. At SI I recently commented on a regional Baptist Association meeting which was proudly boasting of having deliberate non-Baptist and deliberate non-denominationalist Phil Johnson as their featured speaker. Mind you this was not a Bible Conference at a Baptist church where baptistic speakers might understandably deliver a message or two as a minority but it is a specifically " Baptist Association" meeting.<br /><br />It was not surprising the inability of those responding to distinguish contexts that warranted degrees of separation. I pointed to the LCMS as a model for those more serious about understanding separation than the Baptist Association referred to and the foolish commenters.
