Contending for the Faith

ePublications

Our Writings

In this section you will find publications that include:

statements from other Christians concerning the local churches and the ministry of Watchman Nee and Witness Lee; and
responses to criticisms of the teachings and practices of the local churches.

Dialogues

with Fellow Believers

The local churches welcome dialogue with researchers and scholars concerning our beliefs and practices. More and more Christians have come to realize that the local churches are sound in the essentials of the common faith. Read about some of those dialogues here and what these researchers and scholars have to say about the local churches.

Responses

to Criticism

This section contains responses to criticism of the teachings of Watchman Nee and Witness Lee. When those teachings are evaluated fairly and in light of Scripture, they can be seen to be not only orthodox but also of great value in bringing the believers into the depths of the divine revelation in the Bible concerning God’s purpose and plan.

Defense

Against Libel

On three occasions, various local churches have taken legal action to defend against reckless and libelous accusations. This section contains documented accounts of lawsuits over The Mindbenders, The God-Men, and the Encyclopedia of Cults and New Religions, as well as discussion of the biblical principles involved in appealing to secular authorities for relief from libel.
