The dangers of the Emergent Chruch…

We've been hearing more and more about the emergent church movement and the dangers that this new theology poses to Christianity today. Here is an article from christianpost.com about a recent Inter-Spirituality Day event. This article discusses some very serious concerns based on some talks given by Doug Pagitt and Rob Bell, who are well know emergent church proponents.

Ingrid Schlueter of Crosstalk Radio warned the public that emergent leaders Rob Bell of Mars Hill Bible Church and Doug Pagitt of Solomon's Porch would promote universalism. Others weren't surprised Bell and Pagitt joined the interfaith event. "They teach that you really can't understand the Bible, nor are you supposed to. Rather you need to experience it; it's not what God says, but how you feel about it; its content is to be received really subjectively or experientially." McMahon told OneNewsNow, adding that such teaching essentially rejects the authority of the Bible. "They believe that preaching or teaching Bible doctrines is too authoritarian, so they turn to conversation… about the Bible – and [in many emergent churches] that replaces teaching from the pulpit."

We are actually in the process of working on an article that will be posted on our website very soon, which will also address (in depth) the dangers of this movement. We want to make sure that everyone is aware of this group and their intentions as it pertains to the Christian faith. The emergent follower would like us to think that they are just trying to appeal to a younger crowd who has become disillusioned with the Church today. This may be true in one sense, but what we will bring out in the article is the truth about the gospel that the emergent church is preaching to their new converts. As you will discover, it is a far different message than what orthodox Christianity has been and is currently teaching. We believe that the gospel of the emergent church is a false and dangerous one that will only lead many to spiritual destruction.
