Tony Campolo, a leading spokeman for the egregiously ecumenical Emerging Church aka Emergent Church de-formation of the Christian faith—now morphing into Emergence Christianity (EC), tells us below that his friends Brian McLaren and Richard Rohr were actually among those who started something known as Red Letter Christians, which also includes [...]

Apprising Ministries has long been covering something known as Emerging Church aka Emergent Church, now morphing into Emergence Christianity (EC).

A man-centered gospel is the belief that the determining factor in whether or not a man is eternally saved, in the end, relies (at some level) upon an act of his own will i.e. human decision. This is often called synergism because it is thought to be a cooperative effort between God and man. While [...]

March 10, 2008 on his PBS show Tavis Smiley asks Tony Campolo, “what is a ‘Red Letter Christian?’” Campolo replies:

In the Apprising Ministries piece Tony Campolo to Enlighten Southern Baptists in Virginia we pointed out that Emergent Evangelical Prophet Tony Campolo is going [...]

“The LORD said, ‘Who will entice Ahab to go up and fall at Ramoth-gilead?’ And one said this while another said that. ”Then a spirit came forward and stood before the LORD and said, ‘I will entice him.’ ”The LORD said to him, ‘How?’ And he said, ‘I will go out and be a deceiving spirit in [...]
