| False Doctrine | The DownGrade Controversy - Charles Spurgeon was a
Baptist preacher and a member of the Baptist Union (a denomination of
Baptist Churches). Over the years, Spurgeon noted a downward
tendency away from the Truth of the Scripture by the Baptist Union.
He then started to address the "shift" away from the truth,
trying to save the denomination for going "liberal" in their
theology and practice. Ultimately, he withdrew from the Union.
The following are the various articles of discussions between Spurgeon and
the Baptist Union as recorded in the Christian Newpaper, The Sword and
the Trowel -- this controversy has much to say about our Evangelical
churches today in America:
