Many representatives of modern Protestantism have, in one way or
another, rejected many fundamental doctrines of the Bible, such
as,—
The fall of man.
The Bible doctrine of sin.
The infallibility of the Scriptures.
The sufficiency of the Scriptures as a rule of faith and practise.
The Deity of Christ, and His consequent headship over the church.
The miraculous conception and the virgin birth of our Lord.
The resurrection of Christ from the grave.
The vicarious, expiatory, and propitiatory atonement of Christ.
Salvation by grace through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
Regeneration by the power of the Holy Ghost.
The efficacy of the all-prevailing name of Christ in prayer.
The ministration and guardianship of holy angels.
Miracles as the direct manifestation and interposition of God’s
power.
Although many leaders of modern Protestantism known as higher
critics have not formally adopted the creed of the Church of Rome,
and have not become an organic part of that body, yet they belong
to the same class in rejecting the authority of God’s Word, and
accepting in its place the product of their own reasonings. There
is just as much apostasy in the one case as in the other, and both
must therefore be included in Babylon, and both will go down in
the fall of Babylon. The warning message applies with equal force
to both classes.
21. To what extent is the apostasy, or fall, of modern Babylon, the
mother, and of her daughters, to be carried?
“And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having
great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory. And he cried
mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is
fallen, and _is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every
foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird_. For all
nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the
kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants
of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.” Rev.
18:1-3.
NOTE.—In its largest sense, Babylon includes all false
religions—all apostasy. The gospel message announcing her final
overthrow should be a cause of rejoicing to every lover of truth
and righteousness.
22. What final call to come out of Babylon is to go forth?
“And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, _Come out of her, My
people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of
her plagues_. For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath
remembered her iniquities.” Verses 4, 5.
23. How complete is to be the fall of modern Babylon?
