PETER ROLLINS AND HIS RAPTURE HERESY

Apprising Ministries points you to an interesting piece concerning emerging church philosopher/theologian Peter Rollins Darling Of Emergence Christianity by my friend John Chisham, pastor of River of Life Alliance Church and fellow Christian Research Net contributor.

For those who’ve actually listened to Peter Rollins, which you can do for example in Adele Sakler And Peter Rollins, you’ll know that the picture to the left represents well what Rollins and others in the egregiously ecumenical Emerging Church aka Emergent Church—morphing into Emergence Christianity—are injecting into the genuine Christian faith.

Below Chisham point out:

Over on his site, Peter Rollins writes a new Parable, which replaces the blessed hope we have as believers with how he sees God responding to the end times… This parable is quite a bit different from scriptural reality…

Mr. Rollins is wrong if he thinks this is heaven, and if the job of the Christian is to make this earth heaven, or to build the kingdom of God. Yes, God will destroy this earth with fire, and a new heaven and a new earth will take its place, where those who have been saved by grace will dwell.

Our job on this earth is to proclaim the Gospel to every creature, for the gospel is the power of God unto salvation. Our job is not to bring heaven to this earth through social justice, unlike what Rob Bell and his friends Peter Rollins, Dan Golden, Doug Pagitt et.al think. (Online source)
