Ernest Pickering related:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Traditionally, Christian schools have tried to maintain fairly high standards of personal conduct among their students. Thus there were rules to follow and discipline to be meted out if the rules were disobeyed. The young evangelicals, however, rebelled against this concept as \u201clegalism.\u201d Their approach has been adopted by many and has led to a looseness of conduct on the campuses of many professedly Christian colleges. <span class=\"footnote_referrer\"><a role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\" onclick=\"footnote_moveToReference_471_1('footnote_plugin_reference_471_1_16');\" onkeypress=\"footnote_moveToReference_471_1('footnote_plugin_reference_471_1_16');\" ><sup id=\"footnote_plugin_tooltip_471_1_16\" class=\"footnote_plugin_tooltip_text\">16)<\/sup><\/a><span id=\"footnote_plugin_tooltip_text_471_1_16\" class=\"footnote_tooltip\">Ernest D.

This is to stay within the principle of Psalm 1:1-3. The second major factor is keeping the training and educating of our next generation under the local church. \u201cThe best training for effective pastors appears to come from schools of ministry planted on the campuses of a local church and Bible colleges that hold fast to the inerrant Word of God.\u201d<span class=\"footnote_referrer\"><a role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\" onclick=\"footnote_moveToReference_471_1('footnote_plugin_reference_471_1_19');\" onkeypress=\"footnote_moveToReference_471_1('footnote_plugin_reference_471_1_19');\" ><sup id=\"footnote_plugin_tooltip_471_1_19\" class=\"footnote_plugin_tooltip_text\">19)<\/sup><\/a><span id=\"footnote_plugin_tooltip_text_471_1_19\" class=\"footnote_tooltip\"> Paul Smith, New Evangelicalism: The New World Order, Calvary Chapel Publishers, 2011, p. 54<\/span><\/span><script type=\"text\/javascript\"> jQuery('#footnote_plugin_tooltip_471_1_19').tooltip({ tip: '#footnote_plugin_tooltip_text_471_1_19', tipClass: 'footnote_tooltip', effect: 'fade', predelay: 0, fadeInSpeed: 200, delay: 400, fadeOutSpeed: 200, position: 'top center', relative: true, offset: [2, 2], });<\/script> This is to recognize that the local church is God\u2019s ordained institution, and as the creator of all things, His word must be recognized in all things: \u201cthat in all things he might have the preeminence.\u201d (Colossians 1:18). The question arises of how the future leaders of local churches could lead a local church if they were educated in a parachurch academic institution? Such an education would be hypocritical and paradoxical, only driving confusion about the doctrine of the local church.<\/p>\n<div class=\"speaker-mute footnotes_reference_container\"> <div class=\"footnote_container_prepare\"><p><span role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\" class=\"footnote_reference_container_label pointer\" onclick=\"footnote_expand_collapse_reference_container_471_1();\">References<\/span><span role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\" class=\"footnote_reference_container_collapse_button\" style=\"\" onclick=\"footnote_expand_collapse_reference_container_471_1();\">[<a id=\"footnote_reference_container_collapse_button_471_1\">+<\/a>]<\/span><\/p><\/div> <div id=\"footnote_references_container_471_1\" style=\"display: none;\"><table class=\"footnotes_table footnote-reference-container\"><caption class=\"accessibility\">References<\/caption> <tbody> \r\n\r\n<tr class=\"footnotes_plugin_reference_row\"> <th scope=\"row\" class=\"footnote_plugin_index_combi pointer\"  onclick=\"footnote_moveToAnchor_471_1('footnote_plugin_tooltip_471_1_1');\"><a id=\"footnote_plugin_reference_471_1_1\" class=\"footnote_backlink\"><span class=\"footnote_index_arrow\">&#8593;<\/span>1<\/a><\/th> <td class=\"footnote_plugin_text\"> \u201cYour Kindergartner and Writing under the Common Core Standard,\u201d <a href=\"http:\/\/www.greatschools.org\/students\/academic-skills\/196-kindergarten-writing.gs\"><span class=\"footnote_url_wrap\">http:\/\/www.greatschools.org\/students\/academic-skills\/196-kindergarten-writing.gs<\/span><\/a> accessed 4\/26\/2015 <\/td><\/tr>\r\n\r\n<tr class=\"footnotes_plugin_reference_row\"> <th scope=\"row\" class=\"footnote_plugin_index_combi pointer\"  onclick=\"footnote_moveToAnchor_471_1('footnote_plugin_tooltip_471_1_2');\"><a id=\"footnote_plugin_reference_471_1_2\" class=\"footnote_backlink\"><span class=\"footnote_index_arrow\">&#8593;<\/span>2<\/a><\/th> <td class=\"footnote_plugin_text\"> The full account with more examples of the students letters are found in John Stormer, None Dare Call It Education, Liberty Bell Press, 1999, p. 7-9<\/td><\/tr>\r\n\r\n<tr class=\"footnotes_plugin_reference_row\"> <th scope=\"row\" class=\"footnote_plugin_index_combi pointer\"  onclick=\"footnote_moveToAnchor_471_1('footnote_plugin_tooltip_471_1_3');\"><a id=\"footnote_plugin_reference_471_1_3\" class=\"footnote_backlink\"><span class=\"footnote_index_arrow\">&#8593;<\/span>3<\/a><\/th> <td class=\"footnote_plugin_text\"> John Stormer, None Dare Call It Education, Liberty Bell Press, 1999, p. 8-9<\/td><\/tr>\r\n\r\n<tr class=\"footnotes_plugin_reference_row\"> <th scope=\"row\" class=\"footnote_plugin_index_combi pointer\"  onclick=\"footnote_moveToAnchor_471_1('footnote_plugin_tooltip_471_1_4');\"><a id=\"footnote_plugin_reference_471_1_4\" class=\"footnote_backlink\"><span class=\"footnote_index_arrow\">&#8593;<\/span>4<\/a><\/th> <td class=\"footnote_plugin_text\"> Samuel Blumenfeld, Education Letter, Vol. 7, No. 8 (Letter #72), August, 1992, p. 3<\/td><\/tr>\r\n\r\n<tr class=\"footnotes_plugin_reference_row\"> <th scope=\"row\" class=\"footnote_plugin_index_combi pointer\"  onclick=\"footnote_moveToAnchor_471_1('footnote_plugin_tooltip_471_1_5');\"><a id=\"footnote_plugin_reference_471_1_5\" class=\"footnote_backlink\"><span class=\"footnote_index_arrow\">&#8593;<\/span>5<\/a><\/th> <td class=\"footnote_plugin_text\"> Gary DeLashmutt and Roger Braund, \u201cPostmodern Impact: Education,\u201d The Death of Truth, Bethany House Publishers, (ed.
