• OPC AND PCA: SYNAGOGUES OF SATAN

  (From Outside the Camp Vol. 3, No. 4)

  ---

  Did you know that the Presbyterian
  Church in America (PCA) and the Reformed Presbyterian Church of North
  America (RPCNA) are members of the National Association of Evangelicals
  (NAE)? Also, individual churches in the Associate Reformed Presbyterian
  Church (ARP) and the Orthodox Presbyterian Church (OPC) are members of
  the NAE, and these individual churches are accepted by their respective
  denominations.

  These churches and denominations
  claim to believe the doctrines of sovereign grace. Yet here are some of
  the denominations with which they are in fellowship: Assemblies of God,
  Baptist General Conference, Christian & Missionary Alliance, Church
  of the Nazarene, Evangelical Free Church of North America, Fire
  Baptized Holiness Church of God of the Americas, International Church
  of the Foursquare Gospel, International Pentecostal Church of Christ,
  International Pentecostal Holiness Church, Mennonite Brethren Churches,
  Pentecostal Church of God, Pentecostal Free Will Baptist Church,
  Salvation Army, and Wesleyan Church. And here are some of the
  denominations in which individual churches are members: American
  Baptist Churches, Episcopal Church, Friends Churches, General
  Conference Mennonite, National Association of Free Will Baptists,
  Presbyterian Church USA, Southern Baptist Convention, and United
  Methodist Church.

  What kind of association do members
  of the NAE have with each other? The NAE’s pamphlet, entitled
  “Leadership Through Cooperation,” gives this explanation: “The
  incentive for cooperative effort that Paul gave the Philippian
  Christians is the same compulsion that has caused evangelicals of this
  century to ‘stand fast in one spirit, with one mind (cooperating)
  together for the faith of the gospel’ (Phil. 1:27).” Under the heading
  “Evangelicals – Pioneers in Cooperating,” the pamphlet states:
  “Evangelicals needed a united voice to safeguard their freedoms. … A
  movement of Bible-believing Christians was born and was formally named
  the National Association of Evangelicals.” The pamphlet goes on to say
  that the NAE’s “purpose is … to provide a means of cooperation in
  evangelical witness … Based upon the affirmation of a common faith
  resting securely in God’s Word … NAE is a member of the World
  Evangelical Fellowship, a worldwide alliance of continental and
  national bodies that provides the structure and forum for them to
  identify together and cooperate forcefully to defend the faith and
  advance the gospel. … NAE fosters Christian unity and cooperation …
  The mission of the National Association of Evangelicals (USA) is to
  extend the kingdom of God … demonstrating the unity of the body of
  Christ by standing for biblical truth, speaking with a representative
  voice and serving the evangelical community through united action,
  cooperative ministry and strategic planning. … to provide a means of
  fellowship … for more effective witness and ministry … to represent
  the evangelical cause … Together, in cooperative witness through the
  programs, services and activities of NAE, evangelicals demonstrate
  their spiritual unity and engage in vital action … it provides …
  spiritual witness to millions of people.”

  Andrew C. Bain and his Arminian sister Monique Bain

  Monique, my sister, belongs to a Synagogue of Satan: the Anglican “church” of Australia. Although Monique is an Arminian, many Sydney Anglicans claim to believe the true gospel, and are staunchly conservative. Consider the comments of one of their “Calvinist” leaders – Philip Jensen. According to The Guardian newspaper in London, Jensen denounced the Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Rowan Williams, as sinful and corrupt, “a theological prostitute”, taking his salary under false pretences. The Prince of Wales was a “public adulterer”. The famous King’s College Chapel in Cambridge was a “temple to paganism” for selling compact discs of its choir in the ante-chapel. Women priests were an abomination because, “as soon as you accept women’s ordination everything else in the denomination declines”.

   

  Yet Jensen’s denomination is part of the National Council of Churches. The fifteen member churches of the NCC include: The Antiochian Orthodox Church, The Armenian Apostolic Church, The Assyrian Church of the East, The Churches of Christ, The Congregational Federation, The Coptic Orthodox Church, The Greek Orthodox Church, The Lutheran Church, The Religious Society of Friends, The Roman Catholic Church, The Romanian Orthodox Church, The Salvation Army, The Syrian Orthodox Church, The Uniting Church. These so-called Calvinists claim to “share a common faith and confession” with Romanists, Quakers and Arminians. It is not surprising, however,  that these Anglican “Calvinists” embrace Synagogues of Satan. In fact, both Philip Jenson, and his brother Peter Jensen (Archbishop of Sydney) – believe they were converted at the 1959 Billy Graham Crusade.

  Any churches that are part of the NAE
  believe that the member churches have a common faith, are in spiritual
  unity, and preach the same gospel they do. They are in cooperation with
  those who preach a false gospel to spread this gospel worldwide.
  Clearly, the PCA and RPCNA are part of the Great Whore. The ARP and OPC
  condone such whoredom by allowing some of its churches to be members of
  the NAE. See 2 Corinthians 6:14-17, 2 John 10-11, and Revelation 18:4,
  and separate from these synagogues of Satan.
