An Evangelical Manifesto for an Interfaith World

Berit Kjos of Kjos Ministries echoes much of the same concerns as this blog did and more regarding the Evangelical Manifesto...

Uncompromising Christians are not welcome!

This "Manifesto" is full of contradictions. While its authors claim to trust the Bible, they flout God's warnings. They claim to exclude no one, yet they redefine and "repudiate" fundamentalists. They claim to speak for themselves, but their message demands global transformation and prophesies disaster if not obeyed. They claim to follow "the narrow way," but they call for a broad, interfaith "framework" (new rules) for participating in the "public square" without offending anyone.

By whose authority did the steering committee draft this new social contract? It's not Biblical! Though it tells us that the Gospel freed us from legalism, it imposes man's rules and restrictions on God's people! That's legalism!...

...The main obstacle to this agenda would be uncompromising convictions. So it's not surprising that the Manifesto "repudiates" what it calls fundamentalism. And by redefining it in confusing language and identifying it with wrongs committed by those who don't know God, they vilify it.
