012 An email confirming question 010

 

Dear bro. Genusa,

Greetings in Christ our Lord,

So then, to be clear. No Berean brother or sister has ever told you that we believe that if we fellowship with error, as Central does, we are joining Christ with Belial? This is just a position you have inferred to us, in spite of my explanations to the contrary?

You can find a more complete response to this question in your number 11 of your 12 questions. To summarize, the doctrine of fellowship is a matter of obedience. It is not some magical power by which can join Christ to Belial. It is individually deciding to withdraw from error, and then having come out from among the error, in obedience to Christ, we join ourselves to brethren of like faith.

Sincerely,

Jim Phillips
