Over 10,000 men will overflow Liberty University's Vines Center for a Promise Keepers rally March 25 (3/95 National Liberty Journal). Dr. Adrian Rogers (SBC) is a speaker. The ecumenical Promise Keepers expects 500,000 to 600,000 to attend its 13 coast-to-coast conferences scheduled for 1995.

Liberty University's Board of Trustees include at least six Southern Baptists and Dr. Tim Lee (Calvary Contender, March 15, 1995).

O Timothy Editor: Promise Keepers has seven pledges which it encourages men to follow. Number six is a pledge to promote unity between all denominations. Promise Keepers leadership has stated plainly that the unity they seek includes Roman Catholicism. Speaking at one of the early rallies, Founder Bill McCartney said, "Hear me: Promise Keepers doesn't care if you're Catholic." A writer for the liberal Christian Century magazine gave this analysis of Promise Keepers: "There is little if any political labeling. 'Liberals,' either political or theological, are not paraded for ridicule. There is scant evidence of the Fundamentalists' nonnegotiable principles of faith. Descriptions of Christian belief are framed in broad rather than narrow terms" (cited by David Halbrook, Ministries Today, March-April 1995). It is obvious that Promise Keepers cares nothing about biblical truth and sound doctrine. Neither Romanism nor Modernism are exposed. This is radical, unscriptural ecumenism. Men from Fundamental Baptist churches who become associated with Promise Keepers will partake of the spirit of compromise and apostasy promoted by this rebellious movement.

The ecumenical, interdenominational church has nothing to lose from such involvement, but the Fundamental Bible believer has a great deal to lose.

Samson gave up his power when he gave up his separation. "Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them. For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple" (Romans 16:17,18).
