If you have been following Dave Doran's series on separation, this is exactly the right question to ask, it is the question Dave asks, and it is the question that distinguishes Fundamentalists from Conservative Evangelicals. Fundamentalists answer this question one way, Conservative Evangelicals answer it another way. I have been planning a more lengthy post on this very point, but have not been on the Internet for a couple of days. (Not due to Thanksgiving, we had that a month and more ago.) I think Dave has made some missteps in his series, but in the main, I am in complete agreement with his understanding of the theology of separation and separatism. I want to write about that also. In any case, the Manhattan Declaration is yet another betrayal of the gospel and the usual suspects are all agog. Maranatha!

It is sad to learn that Mohler has signed, but it only further demonstrates the danger of any cozying up to the so-called Conservative Evangelicals. Their philosophy is geared towards tolerating this inclusivism at least, or indeed, as Mohler has done, involving themselves in it. Maranatha!
