Why We Do Not Fellowship With Some Men And Movements
(Written by M. H. Reynolds, Sr. in 1935)

WE BELIEVE Modernists [liberals] are infidels and Christians are commanded "to have no fellowship" with them (2 Corinthians 6:14-17).

 WE BELIEVE that faithful, God-fearing Christian leaders will inform their constituency of these painful facts and do their best to lead them to obey God's Word and "come out" (2 Corinthians 6:17).

 WE BELIEVE most denominations are under leadership and control of Modernists, and Christians should not support them in any way (2 Corinthians 6:16).

 WE BELIEVE that these conditions of infidelity (Modernism) made Bible Institutes, Faith Missions and INDEPENDENT FUNDAMENTAL GROUPS necessary, as they were forced, if obedient to the Word of God, to separate from them (2 Timothy 3:1-5).

 WE BELIEVE when Christians remain in such churches, working with infidels in their modernistic programs and supporting such movements, they become partakers with them of their evil deeds (2 John 9-1 1).  They help spread infidelity.

 WE BELIEVE our Bible Schools, Faith Missions, and Fundamental Churches have been weakened and compromised by their leaders remaining with their apostate denominations and continuing to support their programs.  The results of such actions are, and always will be, that groups are led back into Modernism, instead of out with God (2 Peter 2:1-3).

 WE BELIEVE ministers, missionaries, evangelists, teachers, and leaders who do not separate from modernistic men and organizations, because of their evil, are disobedient to God's Word.  They become a hindrance rather than a help to separated groups and ought to be rebuked (1 John 1:7-9).

 WE BELIEVE individuals, as well as groups, who believe and wish to obey God's Word should be warned against such compromisers and encouraged to refuse help from them in any way.  If they prefer to remain with the modernists, let the Modernists fellowship and support them (2 Timothy 4:1-5).

 WE BELIEVE schools are needed where faculties are Militant Fundamentalists, free from MODERNISM and its influence, where groups looking for separated leaders may send students to be trained in Militant Fundamental leadership (2 Timothy 2:15).

 BELIEVING in the facts as set forth, we feel that those who would be true to God's Word must face the issues and obey His Word, "Come out from among them" (2 Corinthians 6:17).  We are happy to say to other fundamental groups, this is where we stand, and why we stand there (I Peter 3:15-16)!
