Biblical Separation Defended - Far Eastern Bible College

looking into the circumstances under which cooperation is to berendered, sidesteps the real issue between fundamentalism andcooperative evangelism. That issue is centered upon the fact that thecooperative evangelist displays public approval of known (not:“possible” or “suspected”) modernists, who are heretics, and placesthem in positions of fellowship and trust which actions are disobedientto the revealed will of God as it is inscripturated.Thus the assertions which comprise the eighth proposition of Dr.Ferm avoid the issue at hand and advance a generality which whencompletely followed as advocated leads to disobedience on the part ofChristians which displeases God. Therefore the eighth proposition mustbe rejected.Endnotes1Ferm, 35, quoting Frank Colquhoun, The Fellowship of the Gospel (GrandRapids: Zondervan Publishing House, 1957), 34.2Ibid.3Ibid.4Ferm, 35.5The heretic, of course, is not to be rejected until he has had his twoadmonitions (Titus 3:10,11). However, two admonitions from each and everyChristian is not the sense of the text, but what is required is two grave officialadmonitions from the Church’s representatives.6Ferm, 35.7Ibid.8Ibid.78
