The Only Way to Peace and Unity
Unfortunately, the Church has not always taken the pains nor effort to distinguish between the true and the false church. We live in an age of evangelical pacifism, of comfort and lethargy, and a time when this very need to act accordingly, and distinguish between the two, is of the utmost importance.
In this day of ecumenical thinking, there is no excuse for a “do-nothing” policy.
The Church universal must have the courage to refuse to recognize those local organizations who have self-styled themselves as “churches” while denying such cardinal truths as the virgin birth, the Trinity, and that Jesus is right now King of kings and Lord of lords, the latter of which every church teaching dispensationalism stands guilty.
Modernism, liberalism and dispensationalism are educational enemies of the Church of Jesus Christ. They must be exposed and condemned. Of course, if they were, then almost every denomination within Christianity, every local church, would be thrown into incredible controversy. Many would rather avoid such an atmosphere.
Then again, if the Church desires unity and peace, the first order of business is to destroy the false peace and false unity, in order to establish the true by total dependence on and teaching of the Word of God alone.
Exposure and destruction of the false is the only way in which the true can be made clear, believed and established. May God by His grace make it so.

Don’t forget constitutionalism as another enemy of the Church of Jesus Christ. The Constitution (principally promoted by “conservative” Christians) is America’s national idol and is the biggest deterrent to the establishment of Yahweh’s triune moral law (His commandments, statutes, and judgments) as the law of the land and our overcoming infanticide, sodomy, and other abominations promoted and financed by America’s Constitutional Republic.
See online book “Bible Law vs. the United States Constitution: The Christian Perspective” at http://www.bibleversusconstitution.org/BlvcOnline/blvc-index.html. Also, don’t miss our Constitution Survey in the right-hand sidebar by which you can receive a free hard copy of the 85-page “Primer” of the book above.
Wow – I have rarely been so wrong-footed. I was just gearing up for a hearty ‘Amen’ and then found that seemingly I am part of the false church and when I teach, far from equipping God’s people I am serving as an educational enemy of the church. Can it really be?
Maybe you could clarify for me your definition of Dispensationalism. I am somewhat reluctant to take on a label, partly because such labels can easily be caricatured by extreme positions. So, at the risk of exposure and condemnation, I would say I am a dispensationalist, but that doesn’t mean I subscribe to every point of JN Darby’s theology or schemes. And perhaps more surprising I do believe that Christ’s present position is as King of kings and Lord of lords; I believe He upholds all things by the word of His power.
Where am I supposed to be going astray?
You can’t read the OT like a Jew and expect to get the timing right of his second coming (they used it exclusively and missed his first coming). Better to take all the new info into account and then go back and try to make sense out of the prophetic books with this in mind.
The only peace that true believers have is made possible by the sacrifice of Christ, hence , true unity is in Christ only. If one wants to marginalise the true church to near oblivion , we could insist on fellowship with those who preach the only gospel, salvation made possible by sovereign grace.
