Dr. Frederick Anderson, secretary of the Foreign Board ofthe Northern Baptist Convention in the late 1920s,questioned the virgin birth of Jesus Christ.“My mind is still open on this subject, which I do notconsider of the first importance. I am rather inclined tobelieve in the virgin birth, but it is not essential toChristian faith, and should not be made a condition ofchurch membership or ordination” (Anderson, The Lifeof Jesus).This is a false and wicked statement because if Jesus Christwas not virgin born, the Bible is a pack of lies and our faithis in a fable. Further, if Christ was not virgin born He couldnot have been the sinless Son of God and could not,therefore, have died for our sins.In the 1940s, Andover-Newton Baptist TheologicalSeminary (American Baptist) graduate Myron J. Hertel gavethe following reply when asked about the blood of Christ:“The blood of Jesus Christ is of no more value in thesalvation of a soul than the water in which Pilate washedhis hands.” Yet the American Baptist Home MissionSociety called this young blasphemer to the position ofthe superintendent of the Boston Baptist City Mission(Robert T. Ketcham, The Answer, Sword of the Lord, pp.10-16).The 1948 congress of the Northern Baptist Conventionfeatured the influential modernist heretic George Buttrick.On page 284 of his book Christian Fact and Modern Doubthe stated:“The future is hidden. We must be faithful to ourignorance ... Jesus apparently conquered death ... But wedo not know, why pretend we do ... We covet the chanceto say to God hereafter, if God there be; Lord, they toldus to grab the present gain, but there was more gain instaking life on a grand Perhaps.”72
The apostle Paul said, “I KNOW whom I have believed,and am PERSUADED that he is able to keep that which Ihave committed unto him against that day” (2 Timothy 1:12).The American Baptist-supported Buttrick reduced theglorious Christian faith to an inglorious PERHAPS.The 1950 Northern Baptist Convention congress featuredblasphemous modernist G. Bromley Oxnam, who referred tothe God of the Old Testament as a “dirty bully,” because hisunregenerate, rebellious mind would not accept the righteousjudgment of God upon sin (Oxnam, Preaching in aRevolutionary Age, p. 72).Dr. A.S. Hobart, professor at the American Baptist CrozerSeminary, denied the substitutionary blood atonement ofJesus Christ:“I cannot see anything understandable or acceptable intheory that my guilt and my penalty were placed uponChrist, or that Christ’s holiness is imparted to me, in anyway that involves a substitution of his holiness for mine,or his suffering for what was due me, that view of thetheory of the atonement finds no foothold in myconsciousness or my reason” (A.S. Hobart, TransplantedTruths from Romans, p. 29).Another Crozer professor, Henry Vedder, concurred withHobart in denying Christ’s salvation:“Of all the slanders men have perpetrated against theMost High, this doctrine of his substitutionary atonementis positively the most impudent and the most insulting.Jesus never taught and never authorized anybody toteach in his name that he suffered in our stead and borethe penalty of our sins” (Vedder, cited by R.T. Ketcham,The Answer, pp. 10-16).Norris L. Tibbets, former pastor of the American BaptistRiverside Church in New York City, denied Christ’s bodilyresurrection:73
