Following are some of the reasons why this philosophy is
unscriptural and dangerous:
1. THIS PHILOSOPHY DISREGARDS THE BIBLE’S
CLEAR COMMANDS TO SEPARATE FROM
HERESY AND END-TIMES APOSTASY.
Romans 16:17 Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them
which cause divisions and offences contrary to the
doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.
1 Corinthians 15:33 Be not deceived: evil
communications corrupt good manners.
Ephesians 5:11 And have no fellowship with the
unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.
1 Timothy 6:3-5 If any man teach otherwise, and
consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our
Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according
to godliness; he is proud, knowing nothing, but doting
about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh
envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings, perverse disputings
of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth,
supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw
thyself.
2 Timothy 3:5 Having a form of godliness, but denying
the power thereof: from such turn away.

Revelation 18:4 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.
All of these commandments pertain to associations.
The Contemporary Christian Music movement is
permeated with heresy and is committed wholesale to a
philosophy of ecumenism that is plainly building the
end-times Harlot Church. Rome has a very prominent
role in the CCM movement, and there is not one out of
1000 of the CCM artists that issue any sort of warning
about that whatsoever. They talk about Christ and sing
His praises, but they are spiritually blind at a truly
fundamental level.
If they were indeed filled with the Holy Spirit, which
they so frequently and earnestly sing about, they would
do as Paul did when he encountered a false teacher trying
to lead people away from the truth:
“Then Saul, (who also is called Paul,) filled with the
Holy Ghost, set his eyes on him, and said, O full of all
subtilty and all mischief, thou child of the devil, thou
enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease to pervert
the right ways of the Lord” (Acts 13:9-10).
I have been to some large, influential charismatic
ecumenical conferences with press credentials and I have
thus witnessed with my own eyes and ears those places
where CCM is birthed and where it is most at home.
Never have I seen reproof of error after the fashion of
what the Spirit-filled Paul did in Acts 13. All of those
conferences (New Orleans 1987, Indianapolis 1990, St.
Louis 2000, etc.) featured an ecumenical mixed
multitude that included large numbers of Roman
Catholics. And not one of the charismatic leaders or
popular CCM “artists” (including Bill Gaither and his
outfit who performed at one of these) lifted even a finger
of protest and warning. They are practically all in bed
with the vile, wretched end-times apostasy. You might be
able to find some exception somewhere, but it is only
that -- an exception. (For reports on these conferences
see “Strange Things in New Orleans,” “Charismatic
Confusion in Evangelism,” and “End Times Confusion in
St. Louis,” at the Way of Life web site. Use the search
engine or consult the Charismatic section of the Topical
Listing from the tab at the top of the web site’s home

I attended with press credentials the New Baptist
Covenant Celebration in 2008, with speakers like Jimmy
Carter, Al Gore, Tony Campolo, and that great Baptist
giant Bill Clinton. The very liberal Cooperative Baptist
