David Cloud - Bible Separation and Fundamental Baptists

AWESOME TEACHING! PLEASE DO HEED!

The foundation of Separation is the knowledge of the word of God!

The method of separation is to shun those who teach the wrong thing by IDENTIFYING THEM!

We must be plain-spoken, and name the names of false teachers and compromisers!

2 Timothy 2:20-21 (King James Bible)

²⁰But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour.

²¹If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work.

Isaiah's Call For Separation

"Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help; and stay on horses, and trust in chariots, because they are many; and in horsemen, because they are very strong; but they look not unto the Holy One of Israel, neither seek the LORD!" (Isa. 31:1)

God's chosen people had reached a point of such ill repute that they had no other means of protection. This verse is chosen out of many warnings in Isaiah because it not only parallels the national action of America but also equals the spiritual decay of this hour. The leaders had fallen into a shameful state and the people had followed. Each in their own right were responsible for their degenerate state.

Although it was unpopular to do so Isaiah pointed out their error of neglecting God as well as their pursuit of help from Egypt. Egypt is known as a type of the world and is often used in this manner. For Israel to resort to Egypt for help because of their many horses and chariots equates the church today looking to the world for help to cure their declining attendance. God gave Israel direction for success as well as instruction for returning to God when they strayed. (Lev. 26:3,4) "If ye walk in my statutes, and keep my commandments, and do them; Then I will give you rain in due season, and the land shall yield her increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit." If they failed or strayed from the directed path God made this provision: "If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land" (2 Chron. 7:14).

The Lord's church on earth today has the same reliable promises. Jesus has left His church the blu-print for success. The command to go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature is the ever standing command of our Lord (Mark 16:15). Along with the making of disciples through the preaching of the gospel they were to teach them to observe all things the Lord taught His church (Matt. 28:19,20). Along with this command Jesus promised His divine presence. Why would the Lord's church need to call on Egypt (the world, even the religious world) to find out how they arrived at their success? It is the Lord Jesus that has all the power given to Him and His promised power is transferred to the church that will heed (Matt. 28:18; Acts 1:8).

Here enters the unpopularity of preaching that points out error. The desire for the church to establish an hierarchy even as many other religions have today is nothing short of relinquishing the promised power of God. It was the Lord who promised His church that the gates of Hell would not prevail against it. It is not for the Demetrius' of the church to figure out how to retain this power. It is so simple to let the grand Head of the church continue to guide His local church by His Holy Spirit. Egypt's religion may be successful in serving their god but the church must follow the guidelines of their Head if they are to properly achieve their goal.

When Israel lost land it was the result of leaving their Leader. When the church loses ground it is because they have left their Lord's instructions and sought out inventions of men (Eccl. 7:29). All of Egypt's horses and chariots of inventions to promote successful church planting or growth is little more than denying that the precious Head of the Church has power any longer.
