Much is happening in the emergent church world these days… Tony Jones is the poster boy for the new “progressive” churches (the new term for emergent),… In Tony Jones’ world, everything must change and old landmarks must be thrown out. In his world of smoke and mirrors, landmarks are unnecessary.  It’s “Wiki-theology.” Rather than resting […]

Even from your own number men will arise and distort the truth in order to draw away disciples after them. (Acts 20:30) Sincerely Wrong, Is Still Wrong Apprising Ministries has been pointing out in recent posts such as The Non-Gospel Of The Emerging Church 2.0 and Philip Clayton And The Emerging Church 2.0 that A New Kind […]

In his post Theology After Google: My Thoughts From Afar Dave Buerstetta, Koinonia Pastor for the Woodridge United Methodist Church, refreshingly lays his theological cards right on the table when he says:  So Silva doesn’t like progressive theologians because we acknowledge that people find many paths for following God in the way of Jesus. (Online source) […]

As usual with  Emerging Church videos I must issue a language alert. Below  Tony Jones, progressive/liberal theologian in residence for his  Emergent Church pastor Doug Pagitt, and Tripp Fuller, collaborator and disciple of progressive/process theologian Dr. Philip Clayton, open the recently concluded Theology After Google (TAG) conference and explain what this Emerging Church 2.0 event was to be about. Let […]

This online apologetics and discernment work Apprising Ministries told you some five years ago that Emerging Church leaders e.g. the Emergent trinity of Brian McLaren, Doug Pagitt, and Tony Jones, were advancing a neo-liberalism.

In the Apprising Ministries post Philip Clayton With “Big Tent” Christianity In The Emerging Church I reminded you that the Emerging Church (EC) was a Trojan Horse taken inside mainstream evangelicalism; and further, at its corrupt core the EC has always been an existential rebellion against the final authority of the Bible i.e. a rejection of the proper Christian spirituality of Sola Scriptura. […]

In the Apprising Ministries post Brian McLaren With A New Kind Of Liberal Theology I told you not to get caught up in the rouse that Brian McLaren, a recognized leader in the neo-liberal cult of the Emergent Church with its Emergence Christianity, is simply rehashing liberal theology. As I pointed out in that prior […]

As a reader of Apprising Ministries it’s old news that Brian McLaren is a leader in the neo-liberal cult of the Emergent Church with its Emergence Christianity. Back in November of 2005 I began pointing out that the Emerging Church (EC) had all the hallmarks of becoming a newer version of what cult expert Dr. Walter Martin […]

The man without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned. (1 Corinthians 2:14) The Results Of Loving The Reasoning Of Fallen Mankind You may recall the name Drew Tatusko from Apprising Ministries pieces such […]

The following by Dr. Gary Gilley, pastor of Southern View Chapel, is adapted from his Think On These Things article The Kingdom of Emergent Theology – Part 1 and is published with permission: Emergent Eschatology Emergent and emerging leaders may differ over any number of issues but they present a united front when it comes to the kingdom of God—and the kingdom […]
