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 of EC leaders like the Emerging Church rock star pastor Rob Bell. Sadly, mainstream evangelicalism became spiritually spineless and embraced the sinfully ecumenical neo-liberal cult of the Emergent Church aka the Emerging Church, now upgraded to 2.0 with its newer, more […]

The online apologetics and discernment work Apprising Ministries continues warning about, and documenting, the sad slide of largely pretending to be Protestant evangelicalism into becoming what I’ve referred to as The Ecumenical Church Of Deceit (ECoD); and much of the current sorry state of the church visible can be traced back through to the semi-pelagian (at best) […]

Evangelical churches began using warped and toxic teachings of leaders in the sinfully ecumenical neo-liberal cult of the Emergent Church aka the Emerging Church—with its “big tent” Progressive Christianity aka Emergence Christianity—such as EC rock star pastor Rob Bell, so for years now they’ve been poisoning their own young, and have advanced Bell right into the very heart of the church visible.

Incredibly, the worst aspect of hell is not its terrifying description… It is the fact that hell will continue forever. Jesus and his apostles plainly teach the endlessness of hell. Jesus pronounces woes on thos who take no precautions to avoid being “thrown into eternal fire . . . the fire of hell” (Matt. 18:8-9). […]

Today [circa 1985], in the Christian world, we see a spectre rising in the greatest of all the [non-Christian] cults; it is the doctrine of universalism. Karl Barth taught it; neo-orthodoxy teaches it, it is the leaven of the Pharisees and the Sadducees—and it reaches out—and Dr. Norman Vincent Peale [mentor to Robert Schuller] has become […]

This online apologetics and discernment work Apprising Ministries has been among those who’ve been reporting on the awful decline of mainstream evangelicalism, which made the tragic mistake of embracing the sinfully ecumenical neo-liberal cult of the Emergent Church aka the Emerging Church—with its “big tent” Progressive Christianity aka Emergence Christianity. Now, because evangelical churches began using warped and toxic teachings e.g. of […]

By Apprising Ministries correspondent Mike Ratilff of Possessing the Treasure Why do you pass judgment on your brother? Or you, why do you despise your brother? For we will all stand before the judgment seat of God; for it is written, “As I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every […]
