Format: Booklet Pages: 39 Publisher: Foundations Press	Scriptural Separation O. Talmadge Spence Here is a book for which thoughtful Christians have waited too long. It points out the intrinsic dangers of lip service to biblical inerrancy, inspiration, and infallibility without sound biblical convictions and practice in daily life. Christians who desire to honor God and obey His Word know instinctively that there is something wrong with the pseudo-Fundamentalist position. In this book Dr. Spence shows that Scriptural separation is the basis of doctrinal purity and is essential to it. Therefore, pseudo-Fundamentalism, which refuses to be governed by the Scriptural commands concerning separation from compromise, unbelief, and apostasy, also results in the corruption and ultimate destruction of the purity of Scriptural doctrine Price: $2.00 Order Help | Orders Outside the USA
Excerpts from the Book Any definition of separation that does not seek as its first motive and final goal the exalting of the Lord Jesus Christ in all of His beauty and glory is not worthy to be called biblical separation. There are two kinds of divine separations: the dogmatic divisions and the delightful gatherings of God. Biblical separation involves both directions: God separates from and God separates unto. Scriptural separation never consists of either/or in this matter; it is always both/and. If this divine paradox lays hold upon man, there can be a consistent effectiveness of this great truth in all of our lives as we stand steadfastly against the Lord's enemies. Public and corporate separation must never take the place of private and personal separation unto God. Only as the individual Christian, in his daily communion with Christ, seeks personally that private and inner separation can he be the most effective and consistent in his united and public separation. We are being consistent with ourselves and each other when there is a genuine balance in the matter of militancy and magnificence. As a united force, our attack against the Lord's enemies is truly strengthened if we have personal separation in the privacy of our lives unto the fellowship and communion of the Lord Himself.
