It eem that the ew Evangeli- cal today i teaching that Scr ipture i fir t the r e ult of human r e earch and endeavor, and then in some trange fa hion becomes the Word of God. II. The ew Evangelical are try- ing to tell u that the H oly Spirit e erted no positive control during .the entire proce of in cr iption but only exerci ed a negat ive r estr aint upon the author to keep them fr om error. Dr. Edward J . Young aid in hi book. Tl1 )' lvord is Truth: ult would be a great boon to the entire religious situation if those who no longer believed in the Scr~ptur al doctrine of in piration would cease peaking as though they did believe.' 3. What the Evangelical believe concern ing Moral and per onal Separation. Dr. Charles Woodbridge stated in 1961 at the Cicero Bible Church, Cicero I llinois the following about the ew Evangelical. ( 1) It started as a theologi cal Mood. ( 2) It developed into a cauistical Method. '3) It cont inued into a neutralized 1,fessage. ( 4 ) It culminated in a decaying Mor tality. I .

H ere in this section of hi book, Dr. Carnell cite the ubject of Dancing: " . . . Paul says that Christians hould not be conformed to this world (Rom. 12:2) . Anxious to honor thi 1n1unction the fundamentalist takes an absolute stand against danc– ing. In so doing he not only outrages the natural ins tincts of the body, but he offends the teaching of scrip– ture elsewhere. Though David danced befor e the Lord ( 11 Sam. 6 : 14) , the fundamentalist will not. . . The funda– mentalist laces religion with so many negative burdens that he often de– prives the man on the street the most innocent fo rms of recreation . . ." Dr. Carnell after making this state– ment in 1959 about the dance made another statement in 1950 in hi book, T elevision , S erva11t or Mas ter about the same subject, but at that time with a note of warning.

Earl D. Umbaugh in that church. While Brother Umbaugh was in the church he spoke to the official family of the need for the need of new churches. "I tr ust that you will pray," Pastor Howard Young said, " and enlist the prayer help of our fellow believers in the state, for the leading of the Lor d in the spade-work that has to go into this before any definite survey is taken, and any effort is put forth to establi&h the new work. Suffice it to say we are challenged to the depths of our soul and we do not want to make a lot of mistakes in this very important ministr y.
