Summary/Abstract: In today’s everyday life, biblical Christian values are being pushed by certain “representatives” in secular civil society towards marginalization and elimination from every possible field. This is done using a language that claims to be non-discriminatory or “politically correct”, i.e. interested in equally defending the rights of all citizens and minorities of all kinds. Despite disregarding the will and rights of the majority/majorities, the neo-social discourse redefines terms dedicated to Christian and Romanian culture and attempts to impose various decisions that strike at moral, religious, Christian, and biblical values. Sometimes Christian churches, regardless of denomination, are caught unawares by these “attacks”. This study highlights the importance of a common front to defend the values of the Churches in the face of the influences and actions of postmodernism. Even though the individual Churches recognize that there are major doctrinal differences between them, such as the doctrine of salvation, water baptism, baptism in the Holy Spirit, and others, what they expressly have in common is the Bible or Holy Scripture, which each claims to be the inspired Word of God, and the desire to help others live a life according with the Christian faith.
