He argues for the reality of the current movement and discusses issues to keep it from growing irrelevant.

"The Lausanne Covenant adopted at the 1974 International Congress on World Evangelization stated in its final draft that the Bible is “without error in all that it affirms.” Some have contended that this wording provides an escape hatch for those who exclude a historical Adam and Eve (Richard N. Ostling, “A Message from Lausanne,” p. 24); members of the drafting committee disowned this intention, however, declaring that they emphasized only that biblical inerrancy relates to the range, purpose and genre of the content."--Carl F. H. Henry, God, Revelation and Authority, 4:175.
Francis Schaeffer in his book titled, No Final Conflict, makes the following comments on people who try to use the Lausanne Covenant as a loophole to bypass affirming Biblical Inerrancy.
Schaeffer writes:
"Another quote. This is a translation from another language and a country far off from the United States.
More problematic in my estimation is the fundamentalist extension of the principle of noncontradictory Scripture to include the historic, geographic, statistical and other biblical statements, which do not touch in every case on the questions of salvation and which belong to the human element of Scripture.
Both of these statements do the same thing. They make a dichotomy. They make a division. They say that there are mistakes in the Bible, but nevertheless we are to keep hold of the religious evangelical circles.
Now look with me at what the Lausanne Covenant says about Scripture.
We affirm the divine inspiration, truthfulness and authority of both Old and New Testament Scriptures in their entirety as the only written Word of God, without error in all that it affirms, and the only infallible rule of faith and practice.
I ought to say that the little phrase, “without error in all that it affirms” was not part of my own contribution to the Lausanne Congress. I didn’t know that phrase was going to be included in the Covenant until I saw it in its final printed form. But let me speak about why historically it is a proper statement, if the words are dealt with fairly. We are not saying the Bible is without error in the things it does not affirm. And one of the clearest examples, of course, is where the Bible says, “The fool hath said in his heart, there is no God.” The Bible does not teach there is no God. The Bible does not affirm that. Furthermore, we are not saying the Bible is without error in all the projections which people have made on the basis of the Bible. So that statement, as it appeared in the Lausanne Covenant, is a perfectly proper statement in itself. However, as soon as I saw it in its printed form I knew it was going to be abused. In August 1975, Dr. Billy Graham wrote me as follows: “I was thinking of writing a brief booklet on ‘in all that it affirms’ which I took to mean the entire Bible. Unfortunately, this statement is being made a loophole by many.”
Unhappily, this statement, “in all that it affirms,’ has indeed been made a loophole by many. How has it been made a loophole? It has been made a loophole through the existential methodology which would say that the Bible affirms the value system certain religious things set forth in the Bible. But on the basis of the existential methodology these men say in the back of their minds, even as they sign the Covenant, “But the Bible does not affirm without error that which it teaches in the area of history and the cosmos.”
Because of the widely accepted existential methodology in certain parts of the evangelical community, the old words infallibility, inerrancy and without error are meaningless today unless some phrase is added such as: the Bible is without error not only when it speaks of values, the meaning system and religious things, but it is also without error when it speaks of history and the cosmos. If some such phrase is not added, these words today are meaningless. Infallibility is used today by men who do not apply it to the whole of Scripture, but only to the meaning system, to the value system and certain religious things, leaving out any place where the Bible speaks of history and the things which would interest science.

The same criticism from Carl F. H. Henry could be labeled against those who affirm who affirm a "flexible" view of inerrancy (i.e., limited inerrancy).
"Those critics who would partition Scripture into errant and inerrant segments have never achieved a logically persuasive division; those who venture to take this course disagree radically among themselves. They have never, moreover, adduced a theological, philosophical or biblical principle that objectively justifies dividing the Scriptures into “truth and error” rather than “rightly dividing the word of truth”(2 Tim. 2:15, KJV). The inevitable consequence of insisting on biblical authority and inspiration on the one hand and an errant Bible on the other is, of course, that inspiration ceases to be a guarantee of the truth of what the Bible teaches; the authority of Scripture must then somehow be divorced from the truth of its content. The problem with such alternatives is that they destroy the objective truth of the Christian religion, trivialize theology, and lead finally to skepticism. The historic Christian case for the inspiration, authority, and inerrancy of Scripture is not predicated on wildly irrational argumentation, nor has it been logically invalidated by modern biblical studies. What has led modern critical scholars away from this evangelical affirmation has been considerations of another kind, that is, philosophical preconceptions to which they alternatively adjust the evidence, and which often involve—even while the critics lay claim to be Christian—a conception of God different in many respects from the God of the Bible who himself is truth and who cannot lie."
--Carl F. H. Henry, God, Revelation and Authority, 4:192-193.

Lydia McGrew: I'm still reading through the transcript of the interview that came out yesterday. So you'll find this interesting. Link below. In answer to a question from the audience, Licona says, "The concept of inspiration, given the middle knowledge, is that inspired basically means it is ultimately from God, and God has put his stamp of approval on what we have. I would say, yes, even any errors that may be in there, in that sense, is inspired. God breathed. Now, are they inerrant in a Chicago sense? No, they wouldn't be. Are they inerrant in more of a flexible inerrancy sense? Yes."
So there you have it, right out there. Not inspired in a Chicago sense. And we can recall that back when the whole controversy with Geisler was going on, it was about whether Mike himself could *affirm* inerrancy in the Chicago sense. It wasn't *just* about whether this particular view of his or that was compatible with Chicago inerrancy, because he was supposed to be signing on personally that he *personally* affirmed inerrancy, in a context where the Chicago statement was in view (SES).

“As the former and only President of ICBI during its tenure and as the original framer of the Affirmations and Denials of the Chicago Statement on Inerrancy, I can say categorically that Dr. Michael Licona’s views are not even remotely compatible with the unified Statement of ICBI.
R.C. Sproul
May 22nd, 2012
As a framer of the ICBI statement on biblical inerrancy and once studied Greco-Roman literature at advanced level, I judge Mike Licona’s view that, because the Gospels are semi-biographical, details of their narratives may be regarded as legendary and factually erroneous, to be both academically and theologically unsound (Letter, 5/8/14).

This is the email I sent Tap Cancer:
To whom it may concern,
I am writing to notify you that me and my family will no longer participate in Tap Cancer Out Tournaments.
Upon reading your website (with the desired goal of registering for a tournament), I noticed you have updated your policy to allow transgender figures to compete at your tournaments. I recognize your qualifications that a transgender male will not fight against biological females. However, even this concession is catering unto the predominant Critical Queer Theory driving this entire transgender movement. The only rational and consistent approach is to ban biological men from competing against women and not create a separate category just for transgenders.
This strict approach is taken by the IBJJF, NAGA, ADCC, FUJI, etc. I wish you would adopt their policy and revoke your current position. If so, I would gladly participate at future tournaments.
My motivation for this stance is consistency. I travel the country giving speeches and interviews against DEI and Critical Theory because they fundamentally undermine classic concepts of freedom, truth, justice, and ethics. I cannot in one arena stand against this movement to then participate in my private life.
I hope you understand.
