Traitors & sellout artists are everywhere & thus it should be no surprise when these type of charlatans turn up in the so-called Christian church (remember Paul's warning in Acts 20:28-31 - " ... 29 For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock ..."

Larry Wessels, director of Christian Answers of Austin, Texas/ Christian Debater (YouTube channel CANSWERSTV which features 19 playlists on numerous topics at http://www.youtube.com/user/CAnswersTV?feature=mhee; see our playlist "Dealing with Roman Catholicism, Idolatry & the Virgin Mary" with over 70 videos at http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLFFA8D69D1B914715&feature=plcp; websites: http://www.BIBLEQUERY.ORG, http://www.HISTORYCART.COM, & http://www.MUSLIMHOPE.COM) actually attends the same church in Austin, Texas with former Roman Catholic priest of 22 years Richard Bennett (website: http://www.BEREANBEACON.ORG) so this opportunity to present Richard's research is truly by God's providence.

At the end of March 1994, a group of twenty leading Evangelicals and twenty leading Roman Catholics produced a document entitled "Evangelicals and Catholics Together: The Christian Mission in the Third Millennium" (ECT). The two main instigators of this ecumenical thrust were Charles Colson and Richard John Neuhaus, a Lutheran pastor turned Roman Catholic priest. The specific task was begun in September, 1992. Larry Lewis of the Home Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Convention, Jesse Miranda of Assemblies of God, John White of the Geneva College and National Association of Evangelicals; and others, including two Jesuits, Avery Dulles and Juan Diaz-Vilar, joined Colson and Neuhaus in the writing process. Cardinal Idris Cassidy, the Head of thePontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity, was said by Richard Neuhaus to have given "very active support throughout the process." The Evangelical signatories included J. I. Packer, Bill Bright of Campus Crusade for Christ, Mark Noll of Wheaton College, and Pat Robertson of The 700 Club. Roman Catholic signers included such well know figures as Cardinal John O'Connor, now deceased, Archbishop Sevilla, Archbishop Stafford, and Bishop Francis George, now Archbishop of Chicago.

J.I. Packer has chosen to deny the very doctrine that once stood for him like Atlas and
bore a world on its shoulders. What Packer has done is to deny the importance of the Scriptures on the precise point of Sola Fide. He also denies the Reformation history of those Evangelicals who under the Roman Catholic Inquisition gave their lives, not for any correctness in words, but rather for their faith in Christ Jesus alone.
"Separation for the sake of the gospel is not necessary" In the same book, Richard Neuhaus stated emphatically, "If, at the end of the twentieth century, separation for the sake of the gospel is not necessary, it is not justified." What Neuhaus was
effectively saying is that the Gospel is no longer relevant to Christian unity. This seems to be the precise intent of the 1994 ECT document and equally the 1997 "The Gift of Salvation" document. If true Evangelicals do not combat this heinous attack on the Gospel, then Neuhaus' anti-Scriptural words "separation for the sake of the gospel is not necessary or justified" might well fall on them and their children after them. If the lie is swallowed that separation for the sake of the Gospel is not justified, then the logical conclusion is that Churches should cave in and submit to the Church of Rome. This has always been the avowed goal of the Roman Catholic Church, as her documents verify.
Neuhaus argues that "to declare it [justification by faith alone] to be the article by which
the Church stands or falls in a manner that excludes other ways of saying the gospel is to turn it into a sectarian doctrine." The true Gospel of grace has in this statement not simply been declared unnecessary, but it has also been labeled a "sectarian doctrine". This statement by Neuhaus shows the intent of Catholics who have planned and fostered the whole deceitful compromise with Evangelicals. Their purpose is to make the true Gospel of grace through faith

C. H. Spurgeon's timely words apply now even more than his own day, "Since he was
cursed who rebuilt Jericho, much more the man who labors to restore Popery among us. In our fathers' days the gigantic walls of Popery fell by the power of their faith, the perseverance of their efforts, and the blast of their gospel trumpets...." The Gospel trumpet is the very issue at stake, for the Roman Catholic and Evangelical signers of ECT I & II first give the false message of Rome, and then in defense of what they have written, declare that the Gospel of Christ is a "domestic matter" or even "a sectarian doctrine".

It is sobering to know that the all holy omnipotent God will, for the sake of His own glory, rebuke in just measure all those who would pervert the Gospel and make merchandise of His sheep.
