Spurgeon's College is currently in association with the Baptist Union of Great Britain, which Spurgeon in later years did disassociate with on the fundematals of liberal theology within the Union, which he felt was compromise on Scripture. Spurgeon's College Links[1]
As stated by the Metropolitan Tabernacle where Spurgeon served as Pastor after the split from the Baptist Union: "In 1887, toward the end of his ministry, Spurgeon led the church out of the Baptist Union because of the widening influence of theological liberalism in the Union. Today we continue as an independent Baptist church, obeying the biblical command to have no common ground with unbiblical teaching." Metropolitan Tabernacle History: [2]
See Spurgeon's own comments and several other commentaries regarding the split - Spurgeon and the Down-Grade Controversy: [3]
