Apprising Ministries told you in the introduction to Outlaw Preachers: Grace Does Not Give Licence To Sin, which brings you to a sermon from Martin Luther posted by my good friend Chris Rosebrough of Pirate Christian Radio, about another new breed of “ministers” around the egregiously ecumenical Emerging Church aka Emergent Church—now morphing into Emergence Christianity—(EC).

Now beginning to band together—chiefly around Jay Bakker—AM has discussed these outlaw preachers, as they designated themselves, in The Tolerant Ones Really Aren’t So Tolerant and Turning God’s Grace Into An Idol.

Inspired by Jay Bakker, son of televangelists Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker, Young set out to start a church he and his friends felt comfortable in… (Online source)
