I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting him who called you in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel—not that there is another one, but there are some who trouble you and want to distort the gospel of Christ. But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach […]

By Apprising Ministries correspondent Mike Ratilff of Possessing the Treasure Where is the one who is wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? For since, in the wisdom of God, the world did not know God through wisdom, it pleased […]

They are from the world; therefore they speak from the world, and the world listens to them. (1 John 4:5) Many Are Just Now Coming Under The Spell of Bell In pieces like Something Seems Off At Mars Hill Bible Church and Could Rob Bell Be Wrong? here at Apprising Ministries I’ve been keeping you updated on […]

I’ve told you before e.g. in Apprising Ministries: Rob Bell Resources that online apologetics and discernment ministries have been warning you about the warped and toxic teachings of the Emerging Church rock star pastor Rob Bell for years now. Bell’s gospel is essentially the same as the newer postmodern form of Progressive Christianity—Liberalism 2.0—that Living Spiritual Teacher and leading Emergent guru Brian McLaren began laying out […]

For me, the greatest danger of Bell’s interpretation in this book is his view of Christ’s cross. Obviously, if there is no wrath or judgment, then whatever Christ achieved for us on the cross cannot be understood in terms of a vicarious substitute. There is no objective propitiation and, since everyone is already God’s friend […]

For if someone comes and proclaims another Jesus than the one we proclaimed, or if you receive a different spirit from the one you received, or if you accept a different gospel from the one you accepted, you put up with it readily enough. (2 Corinthians 11:4) But Which Jesus Is It Whom You Claim […]

Thus says the Lord: “Stand by the roads, and look, and ask for the ancient paths, where the good way is; and walk in it, and find rest for your souls. But they said, ‘We will not walk in it.’” (Jeremiah 6:16) Neo-Gnostics Believe They’re In The Gno I’ve told you before e.g. in Apprising Ministries: Rob […]

Apprising Ministries has been warning you about the judgments coming upon the church visible now that mainstream evangelicalism has embraced the sinfully ecumenical neo-liberal cult of the Emergent Church aka the Emerging Church. I’ve also told you that EC progressive/liberal theologians such as Dr. Philip Clayton of the Transforming Theology network and Tony Jones, heretical “theologian in residence” at the church of his equally heretical quasi-universalist pastor Doug […]

To the teaching and to the testimony! If they will not speak according to this word, it is because they have no dawn. (Isaiah 8:20) Behold The Cult Of A Postmodern Neo-Liberalism Apprising Ministries has been blessed of Jesus to be used as one of His leading online apologetics and discernment works for coverage of the warped and toxic teachings […]

Pay careful attention to yourselves and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to care for the church of God, which he obtained with his own blood. I know that after my departure fierce wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock; and from among your own selves will […]
