Apprising Ministries has long been warning you about the danger of listening to neo-Gnostics like Living Spiritual Teacher and Quaker mystic Richard Foster. For years now Foster, along with his his spiritual twin Dallas Willard, has been teaching corrupt Contemplative Spirituality/Mysticism (CSM) under the guise of so-called Spiritual Formation. But what we’re actually dealing with is really a romanticized version […]

Dear friends, although I was very eager to write to you about the salvation we share, I felt I had to write and urge you to contend for the faith that was once for all entrusted to the saints. (Jude 3) Bad News Yesterday Christian Post ran Emergent Christians Mull Theology in Google Era, a […]

I have previously shown you that at his personal blog, specifically in the article Apologetics in Action, Southern Baptist minister Dallas Willard—spiritual twin of Living Spiritual Teacher and Quaker mystic Richard Foster—tells us, “It is possible for someone who does not know Jesus to be saved.” The reasons behind Willard’s speculation are first of all, his longtime […]

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.

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.

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.
