Dear brethren and sisters:

Loving greetings in the name of Yahshua Anointed.

The first two years of The Christadelphian Bible Journal are now posted on:

http://www.biblejournal.bereans.org

These articles are intended mostly for UNAMENDED Christadelphia and are designed to hopefully cause serious reflection upon the evolution in belief that has ensued therein during the past 100 years or more, with a view of correcting the course and returning to the original Christadelphian position on the subject of resurrectional responsibility and ancillary doctrines.

With all of the recent NASU issues still fresh on the minds of most, we do wish to clarify that the Bible Journal has absolutely no connection with the Central Amended Fellowship. We are in no way involved in NASU reunion efforts. Hence our articles are in no wise intended as a plea for mass reunion. Instead, it is our hope that individual Unamended Christadelphians, who are interested in a pioneer oriented, Biblically based fellowship, will study these articles and contact us with questions or comments. Requests for fellowship are welcome and shall be, Lord willing, considered wholly on an individual basis. As the Berean Christadelphian Re-Statement declares, in part:

"Reason, Scripture and experience teach that in each case there must be sufficient investigation to give assurance of oneness of mind. More care will be required in some cases than others, and no simple password can be set down as the only requirement. Certainly MASS AMALGAMATION ON A MAJORITY VOTE is utterly inadequate to preserve the Truth, for the dissenting minority that comes along with the majority may bring every form of error. A majority vote is, as Clause 5 of the Constitution specifies, the brotherly way to determine 'order and arrangement,' but FELLOWSHIP is an INDIVIDUAL matter.

"The only generalization that can be made is that in any consideration of a unity in fellowship, sufficient mutual investigation must be made in each individual case to maintain the Truth among us to the best of our ability. "To avoid any appearance of harshness, or the erection of any unnecessary barriers, we would like to make it clear that we desire it to be as easy and pleasant as possible--in faithfulness to the Truth--for any to join or to return to us, who have come to a full unity of mind with us on the problems confronting the Brotherhood.

"We recognize that it would be the prerogative of each ecclesia to determine the amount of personal interviewing necessary in each particular case. We believe it is a basic principle that the Truth is an INDIVIDUAL matter. Each individual must be considered as an individual; but we are anxious that it be done as gently and unofficiously and briefly as is consistent with the Truth. We have no thought of interrogation just for interrogation's sake, but rather speedy and joyful reception as soon as UNITY OF MIND is established.

"However, it is the mind of the Berean Fellowship--particularly in light of the insufficiently-considered mass movements in 'fellowship' of the past few years--that this scriptural aspect of INDIVIDUAL consideration should be mutually accepted in any discussion of resumption of fellowship, and should be honored in principle, though applied in humbleness, kindness, and wisdom."
