There are really only two groups of people. There are those who are in Christ and those who are in their sins. These are Jesus’ own words, “I told you that you would die in your sins, for unless you believe that I am he you will die in your sins.” (John 8:24 ESV) Any form of Christianity that seeks to subvert the clear message of the Gospel is not Christianity, but instead, is some heresy. Any form of Christianity that is bound in relativism has its roots in liberal philosophy not the Word of God nor is it a product of the pure light of God’s truth.
The article below was written in 1922 by J. Greshem Machen a full year before he wrote Christianity and Liberalism, which is his book against liberalism.
It is an excellent introduction against the liberal apostasy of our own times, and may it prove helpful to those who see, as Machen clearly did, that liberalism is “another gospel,” and has no rightful place in the Church of our Lord. Enjoy and be blessed – Mike Ratliff

The attack upon the fundamentals of the Christian faith is not a matter merely of theological seminaries and universities. It is being carried on vigorously by Sunday School “lesson-helps,” by the pulpit, and by the religious press. The remedy, therefore, is not to be found in the abolition of theological seminaries, or the abandonment of scientific theology, but rather in a more earnest search after truth and a more loyal devotion to it when once it is found.
