convinced that the

just

starting in

With

wrot e

to Mr.

he Anderson,

preacher and asked him

f o r

a ublic

discussion.

He

latly

refused.

Next

I

ried

S e v enth

and

was pleasantly

surprised

when

Mr.

Comm,

heir missionary, accepted.

(La

THE

NIGHT

Ab ou t

The SDAs

were jubilant and c ocky, ex pec ting an

I

used

minutes

to give twenty-e ight

reasons

why

I was

not

and

scripture

toppled the S .D .A. fabri

angry .

Mr. Comm was

o u p s e t

that

he

rambled

VERDICT

"The

Scriptures, rightly

divided, ar e

th e

all and

al one

sufficient

rul e

o f

faith

and

p r a c t i c e . " This p r i n c i p l e i s

true and

fundamental to

a l l right practice

o f

Christianity.

The

Scriptures are clear

as t o HOW he

world

i s t o

be

evangel

i z e d .

ONEAND MANY

First, ou r Lo rd Christ established i t

a s

a n

individual r e s p o n s i b i l i t y (Mt. 8:18f;

A c t s 1:8;

8:4).

This individual burden

f o r

souls

is

never

lifted from the C h r i s

t i a n ' s

heart u n t i l the day

o f his death

or ascension with

Christ.

Second, the

H o l y S p i r i t

e s t a b l i s h e s a

congregational

r e s p o n s i b i l i t y (Ac. 13:1-4; 14:26-28) in

t h e se nding out

of

qualifi^ e v a n g e l i s t s .

There i s no teaching by

p r e c e p t ,

e x a m

p l e or i n f e r e n c e i n t h e N.T.

for

any

o r

ganization f o r evangelism besides the l o

c al

Church. If

God

foresaw no

n e c e s

s i t y for an extra-congregational

organ

i z a t i o n to

e f f e c t i v e l y

evangelize the

world,

what

can

we gain

by e s t a b l i s h i n g

such? The N.T.

f o r c i b l y

impresses

us

with the

fact

that

e v e ry Christian i s a

"missionary"

and

every

congregation

was n i t s entirety

a "missionary

s o c i

e t y" .

So be it

FATAL

SUBSTITUTE

Men

with worldly wisdom

often find

fault

with

God's "simple" method and

p r o p o s e

"improvements'. Th e objections

^hey raise a r e not

inherent

wealmesses

i » f God's plan, but only d e f i c i e n c i e s o f

functioning on th e p a r t o f f a l l i b l e

s e t up and

sents

a

holy,

simple,

and

f o r

evangelism. But

the substitutes

( s o c i e t i e s , f e l l o w s h i p s , e t c . ) have num

erous h i s t o r i c a l and

which are congenital and incurable.

during

the

Mark

A

Christian

woman made his

but she had never-

t a i l o r e d pants.

Therefore,

Mark's mother-

decided t o

they

would

was
