Kent Rufo on AToday (

“Can’t we all just get along?”…the answer is a resounding “NO”!
The premise is propagated that God utilizes believers and non-believers to “evangelize” and this is a contradiction that ignores the history and the roots of “traditionalist” a/k/a Tea Party Seventh-day Adventists and “progressives” that abrogate the Fundamental Beliefs of the Seventh-day Adventist FAITH.
In the late 60’s and early 70’s we saw an infection within the ranks brought by Brimsmead and Ford that virtually rejected the core foundational prophesy known as the 2300 days and it’s implications, then went further to build a basis for “strange fire” best described as “cheap grace”. This was quickly followed by the most insidious infestation of “academics” leavened by educations in world academia that brought “scientific apostasy” into the Educational System of the Seventh-day Adventist Church and the concept of academic “tolerance” was born. The “progressives” with their catholic philosophies had their foothold and propagated their heresy with virtual impunity.
With tolerance firmly entrenched and the adoption of the “wisdom of man” came an end to “traditions” such as “lay activities”, “evangelistic campaigns”, “Dorcas”, “ingathering”, “colporteurs”, “college of medical evangelism”, “Southern Missionary College” and a host of other traditions grounded in the history and the Mission of the Church and we became “tolerant arm-chair Adventists” that purchased our mission efforts and sent our children to church funded but “academically independent” schools, academies, colleges and universities. And we tried to “just get along” and Lord forbid that anyone challenge APOSTASY.
This creeping compromise has so infected us that three “progressives” that adopted strange fire and clearly abrogate the foundations and the fundamental beliefs of the Seventh-day Adventist Faith have found it their duty to sue the brethren, yet another abrogation of Faith… And to invite the intervention of an accrediting agency that seems to be determined to eliminate the fundamentals of Seventh-day Adventists belief from the curriculum of a Seventh-day Adventist educational institution funded with a combination of tithe and gifts from the stockholders in the pews. THIS MUST NOT GO UNCHALLENGED!
No, we cannot “just get along” lest we watch the Creeping Compromise gain such a broad foothold in the company of those who “Keep the Commandments of God and have the FAITH of Jesus Christ” that we all “Reap the Whirlwind” of apostasy. We are a “church militant” and we are to take arms against apostasy in all it’s forms. This is no time for compromise!!!
It is time for Seventh-day Adventists to “stand up, stand up for Jesus and hold the banner high”!!!
