It’s founding father, Harold J. Ockenga, originally held to the biblical doctrine of
separation. In 1947, Ockenga tagged his new movement “New Evangelicalism“. He
began teaching his followers to stop separating from and instead become infiltrating
change agents within apostate churches. Although this infiltration approach isn’t
backed by the sound doctrine of scripture, this movement took hold and the gradual
descent into the prophesied apostasy of 2 Thessalonians 2 was underway.
New Evangelicalism had multiple goals which are subtly fueling the gradual descent
into apostasy: address social issues; include with salvation a “social philosophy”;
avoid testing those who teach error; enter into debate concerning biblically related
scientific questions; address intellectual questions using contemporary educational
resources and allow liberty in minor areas. (Dollar, George. A History of Fundamentalism in
America, Bob Jones University Press, Greenville, SC. 1973. p.204.)
Harold Ockenga eventually spread the movement throughout America as he rose to
prominence among evangelicals assuming the following leadership roles:
1st President of the National Association of Evangelicals
Chairman of the Board of Christianity Today
1st president of Fuller Theological Seminary
President of Gordon-Conwell Divinity School
Director of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association

Evangelicalism. Dr. Schuller’s philosophy of church growth was simple:
Perception must be changed from viewing people as “saved” or “lost” to “churched” and
“unchurched”.
“Find out what impresses the unchurched in your community” and do it.
Bring in popular “heroes” to attract the multitudes.
Utilize the successful principles of Retailing: Accessibility, Surplus Parking, Inventory, Service,
Visibility, and Good Cash Flow.
Pastors should model themselves after businessmen and plan strategically.
“Do not preach expository sermons, you have to win them and build relationships.”
Move from a theocentric approach to ministry to a “human needs approach”.
Dr. Schuller‘s theology categorizes him clearly as an apostate believer and heretic to
be shunned. His theology has been quoted as follows:
“We must begin to say, ‘I am not trying to convert any other religious people to my viewpoint.’”
“There is no need for one to recognize his own personal sin, no need for repentance, no need
