Rick has found a VERY useful review of the founding thoughts/inaccuracies of the "emergent church."

This needs to be studied carefully to really understand what is taking place in so much of the "emergent church" movement... as well as the reinventing/remaking/dismantling of genuine historic Christianity.

Take a close look.

Brutally Honest

Brian McLaren unplugged

In McLarenism there is no original sin, no wrath, no hell, no creation-fall-redemption, no definite future, no second coming that I can see, no clear statement on the deity of Christ, no mention of vicarious substitution or God’s holiness or divine sovereignty, no ethical demands except as they relate to being kind to others, no Godoffendedness, no doctrine of justification, no unchanging apostolic deposit of truth, no absolute submission to the word of God, nary a mention of faith and worship, no doctrine of regeneration, no evangelistic impulse to save the lost, and nothing about God’s passion for his glory. This is surely a lot to leave out.

McLaren’s Christianity is not new and certainly not improved. I don’t believe you can even call it Christianity. It is liberalism dressed up for the 21st century. We can only hope this wave of liberalism fades as dramatically as did the last....

Thanks Rick for the find... and thanks Kevin for the work on giving our concerns some solid feet.
