There is another aspect of the Virginia Statute which I confess I have underappreciated. The Statute's intention is to provide a countermeasure against infiltration.

No, infiltration cannot be prevented. God has deemed it wise to permit churches to be infiltrated from the earliest days. We are to resist, of course, but there is no absolute stopping the erroneous.

What's going to happen when the government has a say? They'll support the infiltrators, and insist all who follow scripture are wrong. The Statute disallows the tactic we see elsewhere around the world. We may both oppose the takeover of our church by Satan's agents, and if they still manage, we may depart and worship among the faithful.

It isn't widely publicized, but all Communist countries have had "official" state churches. During the early stages, they use them as part of their takeover. Later on, they may keep them as Plato advised, to control the people, or they may lose interest; but the "official church" is part and parcel of Communist strategy. The Nazis were no different. Evil does as evil is.
