The Soon Coming Judgment Of God Upon America and How To Escape It 378
must confess our sins and be truly repentant. 7)We are not saved by our works (by good deeds or
keeping the commandments), it is a free gift from God.. These are the Fundamental truth of the
gospel. Dennis Costella writes concerning Fundamentalism in Foundation magazine:
A Bible-believing Fundamentalist, in the historic definition of the term, is
one who not only possesses a Spirit-wrought conviction about the inerrancy and
the absolute authority of the Bible but also earnestly contends for that Faith once
delivered to the saints. The Fundamentalist separates from any who deny,
disregard or flagrantly disobey God's infallible Word. Heeding the doctrine of
separation from error is essential for the believer who desires to be a clean vessel
for the Lord's use (2 Timothy 2:15-2 1). A true Fundamentalist is rare, and sadly
becoming more so with each passing day, but God demands a militant stand for
the Faith from His allegiant servants and soldiers of Jesus Christ.
The World Council of Churches (WCC) and the National Council of
Christian Churches of Christ in the USA (NCC) are the more traditional
proponents of visible unity among “all of God's children.” But more recently, the
Promise Keepers, the interfaith and interdenominational prayer movements, the
ecumenical programs of the Roman Catholic Church, the Charismatic movement
and most evangelical groups likewise parrot the need to tear down denominational
and traditional walls and come together in unity.

Babylon means confusion. In the United States there is much religious confusion both
among Christians and non-Christians alike. As demonstrated above, the deceivers which God
plainly warned us about are not confined to some dark alley or to some cult leaders compound,
they're among the most well known names in America and the world. They're on both secular
and Christian television networks such as TBN. The worst of these deceivers can be seen several
times a week and some several times a day. If you want to be free of these deceptions, if it is
your desire to hold fast to the Fundamental doctrines of the word of God, you must personally
learn the word of God by studying it for yourself. Most preferably, you should engage in
consistent daily study.
The word of God states: “For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the
Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.... If we receive the witness of men, the
witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath testified of his Son.” (1
John 5:7 & 9) The fact that the witness of God is greater than the witness of men needs no
explanation. Each of us can have the witness of God when we study God's word. When we study
the word, the Holy Spirit will come to us and give us understanding.

This is an encounter with
God himself for the Holy Spirit is God.
Let us come out of Babylon (religious confusion) and leave a sin filled life behind us! Let
us not listen to heretical deceivers! Let us not partake of false doctrine, of heresy and of the
movement for a one-world religion. Let us be Fundamentalist and hold fast to the teachings of
Jesus Christ as found in the Holy Bible. Jesus instructed us:
“
Enter ye in at the strait gate: for
wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in
