[Dr. Eckleburg]

Nobody curtails the preaching of the Gospel. But accountability among believers to the church is Scriptural -- not because the church dispenses grace, but because the church has been given the responsibility to provide and preach and protect the word of God.

The dismantlement of ecclesiastic accountability is all part of the modernist's push to further deconstruct Christianity and the authority of God's word.

"The dismantlement of ecclesiastic accountability is all part of the modernist's push to further deconstruct Christianity and the authority of God's word."

I don't think anyone is calling for this. The question is the validity of para church ministries, like Ligonier Ministries, Key Life, Vision America or seminaries or campus ministries like Inter Varsity, Campus Crusade or Navigators or mission societies like AIM or Overseas Missionary Fellowship or Wycliff, that are not under the direct authority of a church.
