Where Is the True Evangelical Fire?
The release of the Manhattan
Declaration has sparked much controversy and conversation. The
document attacks the very biblical foundations of the Christian
faith, including, in practical application, the doctrine of
justification. The evangelical signers--my focus in this article are
the ministers and leaders--can deny that all they like and indulge
in all the sophisms which many have. But the truth is, the document
declares that the gospel of the Roman Catholic Church, which is also
the gospel of her estranged sister the Orthodox Church, is "the
Gospel of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ." The Manhattan
Declaration also states over and over that the signers are all
"Christians" and bears the false testimony that all the
signers are members of "the church." Read

A
Short Statement in Response
to the Manhattan Declaration
The Manhattan
Declaration is an ungodly manifesto, contemptuous of the blood and
righteousness of the Lord Jesus Christ. It is an ecumenical
treatise, complete with a Romish gospel and shot through and through
with popish error. Those evangelicals who have authored this
document and who have led the way in signing it show themselves to
be in rebellion to God. It is, in their case, a brazen
manifesto of treason against the Lord Jesus Christ. And they are
not friends but rather are enemies of Christian liberty in that they
disobey and provoke the Author of liberty with their spiritual
fornication, even wresting His word and corrupting His blood-bought
church. It is the biblical duty of all faithful Christian pastors to
stand against the evangelical authors of the Manhattan
Declaration and all evangelicals who sign it or promote it in any
way. Such betrayers of Christ and His church must be separated from
and called to account by all faithful Christian ministers
and people.

About
Pilgrims
Covenant Church
Pilgrims Covenant Church is fundamental
in doctrine and biblical in government.
We believe in the verbal and plenary
inspiration of the Bible. We believe the Holy Spirit has
inerrantly preserved every word of the Scriptures in the
Masoretic Hebrew Text and the Traditional Greek Text. We believe
that in the English language, the King James Bible, or Authorized
Version, is a faithful and trustworthy translation from those texts.
We reject modern English Bible versions due to the fact that all of
them, to one extent or another, have been translated by faulty
translation techniques and have been translated from the corrupted
Minority, or Critical, Text. We believe that Scripture interprets
Scripture and that the Word of God in the Old and New Testaments is
the supreme, only sufficient and infallible rule of all saving
knowledge, faith, and obedience.
We are committed to preaching and
contending for the doctrines the Apostles taught and which were at
the heart of the Protestant Reformation, beginning with
justification by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone,
for the glory of God alone. We reject neo-evangelicalism, ecumenism,
charismaticism, antinomianism, and Romanism.
We love the souls of our Roman
Catholic countrymen and recognize that many of them are
sincere, kind, and principled. But we detest such Romish
rituals as the blasphemous mass, and we are grieved that the
Roman Catholic people are deceived by their priests into believing
salvation is obtained by the sacraments and good works.
We hold to the historic Protestant
position that the pope--every pope--is the son of perdition, the
Antichrist. We believe that Revelation 17 and 18 describe the
pope's church.
We also believe strongly in
religious liberty. So we hold that the civil government has no
right to interfere with or infringe upon the right of either
Protestants or Roman Catholics to freely exercise their religion.
We worship with reverent hymns and
Psalms. We believe that children of Christians should be educated in
Christian schools or homeschooled. We strive to be faithful to the
command of our Lord Jesus Christ: "Go ye into all the world,
and preach the gospel."
