In the Same Position

If we truly believe that many of the crowds turning out for a healing crusade in Uganda or Tulsa are filled with people who have an erroneous understanding of the gospel, we are in precisely the same position as the first Reformers, where “missions” and “evangelism” mean first recovering the biblical gospel. . . . The evagnelicals are not siimply “off a little” on this or that emphasis; there is quite often these days a fundamentally different message, leading to methods and a general agenda that is at cross-purposes with biblical, historic Christianity.
