This is a brief follow-up to the Apprising Ministries post Emerging Church Theologian Leonard Sweet To Speak At Pastor Skip Heitzig’s Calvary Chapel Church where I linked to New Age Sympathizer Leonard Sweet To Speak at Pastor Skip Heitzig’s Calvary Chapel Church from Lighthouse Trails Research. There we’re told: This coming June, Calvary Chapel Albuquerque (a veteran Calvary […]

preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with complete patience and teaching. (2 Timothy 4:2, ESV)  Don’t Look Now But The Biblical Wheels Have Come Off  In the Apprising Ministries post Gay Christian Singer Jennifer Knapp Out On Larry King Live I reminded you that there is indeed a same-sex storm […]

For those who hate the proper Christian spirituality of Sola Scriptura Emerging Church planter Jamie Arpin-Ricci, inner city pastor, Fransciscan, and missional practioner, tweets a favorite Emergent Church red herring : “The Bible is perfectly clear on that topic” can all too often be code for “This is what I believe & there is no room for […]

In The Progressive Resurrection Of Rob Bell here at Apprising Ministries I discussed his spoken word presentation in the recent video Resurrection. The truth is, I’ve long been covering the drift of Rob Bell, the rock star Elvis of the Emerging Church, and its new version of Progressive Christianity aka Emergence Christianity. And in pieces like Through Rob Bell “The Great Enlightened […]

Apprising Ministries has recently told you about The Emerging Church TransFORM East Coast Apostasia-Palooza where the upgraded Emerging Church 2.0—seeker driven for the “counter-culture”— will share its newer, more clearly delineated, Progressive Christian theology with a gospel Christian apologist Chris Rosebrough has referred to as: Stick it to the Caesar man. It’s all kind of a reimagined bohemian hippie counter-culture deal I would see as I was […]

 As you’ll see e.g. in the Apprising Ministries article Big Tent Progressive Christianity As Liberalism 2.0, rather than dying, we’re going to be dealing with the upgraded Emerging Church 2.0—a neo-liberal cult—with a newer, more clearly delineated, Progressive Christian theology. It’s like I pointed out last time, the original Emergent Church was actually a full-on attack against the old cult of liberalism […]

This is a little bit of a follow up to the Apprising Ministries article Missing Memo On The Death Of The Emerging Church? Although some may see this as a sign of the beginning of the Apocalypse I actually agree with Emerging Church guru Brian McLaren when he says, “In my view, reports of the […]

As you may know Apprising Ministries is part of an ongoing “conversation” of loosely-aligned communities concerning online apologetics and discernment ministry, which is much too broad to adequately define. One of the areas I cover is the Emerging Church, a neo-liberal cult that’s developed within evangelicalism, which claims its “big tent” Progressive Christianity is the historic Gospel […]

The neo-liberal cult of the Emerging Church is continuing to morph and develop its “big tent” version of Progressive Christianity [read: universalism], which is still being cobbled together by the likes of uber-liberal theologian Harvey Cox along with his friend panentheist progressive/liberal theologian Dr. Philip Clayton. Dr. Clayton is himself friends with Emerging Church guru […]

 Over at Christian Research Net, an extention of Apprising Ministries, I pointed out that Emergent Church luminary Andrew Jones, who blogs as Tall Skinny Kiwi, tells us condescendingly in this post about how to co-opt your critics: There’s another breed of watchdoggin’ bloggin’ out there. You are already familiar with the normal watchdog blogs that protect God’s church […]
