Can Church Failure Last?

Evangelicals in the mixed denominations must take responsibility for two things. First, they must seek to convert those who do not preach the Gospel and teach the truth; and second, on failing that they must condemn them and their teaching for the good of the Church and the glory of the Church's Great Head and Saviour, Jesus Christ.

To fail here is to fail everywhere.

Having succeeded in those two essentials, they must then remove every member from the church role and start again.  John Wesley's method might prove a good guide here.  Not only must prospective church members profess their faith in the triune God, they must also give evidence that their faith is alive and that they are assured of their standing before God.

To fail here is to compound failure everywhere.
