The danger of aggressive and rapidly growing liberalism.

The danger of a brotherhood of people not well-taught and grounded in Scripture who are vulnerable and unlikely to recognize the errors currently being promoted.

The danger of inaction on our part which will almost certainly result in massive losses to error.

The danger of ultraconservatives among us:

	Who will try to co-opt the leadership of our resistance to liberalism, or
	Who will wreck the effort by the attitudes and methods.

The danger of perception, albeit false, that we are trying to "run or control the church."

The liberals will surely charge this and even good brethren might be so fearful that they will not join hands with us.

The danger of creating a creedal standard or statement that others are expected to conform to.

The danger of our movement being perceived as an "anti" movement reacting against progress or things we do not understand.

The danger that faithful brethren will choose to walk away rather than do battle for the heart and soul of the church.  We must so fight that the liberals will be forced to leave the city which they could not capture.

The danger of being "only against" error.  We must have a positive message to balance our opposition to error.

The danger that our response will be perceived as "personal," or that we leave that perception. We must focus primarily on the error being taught rather than the men whom we find obnoxious to our faith. Granted some cases will be so flagrant that we will have to deal with the personality, but that should be done sparingly.

The danger of bitterness and sullenness that sometimes overcomes resistance fighters. Not many people admire or follow bitter old men.

The danger that we resort to sarcasm, vindictive or ridicule rather than arguments that are Biblically sound and logical. For then our enemies and perceptive brethren will brush us aside as bumpkins.

The danger of allowing nonessential matters to distract us from the major, fundamental issues at stake.

The danger of becoming discouraged by the numbers strength or position of our enemy.  We may well be or end up being but a remnant (Rom. 9:27).

The dangers of becoming so absorbed with fighting error that we fail to evangelize and seek the lost; to build up our local congregations; to help the weak and lift the fallen.

The danger of making demands that good brethren cannot meet. We must allow every man to fight the battle as he is able.  Some can be front line soldiers, others liaison and supply. Due to age, demands of local work, temperament, ability or level of knowledge some will of necessity fill a less active role. But we must not despise them or condemn them.  Every man is needed.

The danger of the liberal's calls to negotiate and compromise.  They most certainly will come if we are successful. In this struggle for the soul of the church there is no room for compromise.

The danger of us trying to defend the indefensible. Some of the conduct and some of the teaching by some of our brethren has not been sound or worthy. Where we have failed, we must simply admit it and strike hard at the fortress of error.

The danger of being ignorant of our past history. The agents of change are relying heavily on their revisionist interpretation of our brotherhood history to justify their innovations. To respond effectively we need to know the facts of that history ourselves.

The danger of being intimidated by their educational credentials and their assumed and pretended scholarship

The danger of closing the doors of fellowship so tightly that men who realize the error of their ways will not be accepted back in. Hopefully many will see their mistake. They must be welcomed home if they repent.
