Tony Jones is the heretical “theologian in residence” at the EC church of his equally heretical quasi-universalist pastor Doug Pagitt. This dubious duo holds much sway within the egregiously ecumenical Emerging Church aka Emergent Church that morphed into Emergence Christianity (EC)—which is now a cult of a postliberalism firmly within mainstream evangelicalism. I reminded you e.g. in Tony Jones And Courtney Perry Et Al that […]

But now that you have come to know God, or rather to be known by God, how is it that you turn back again to the weak and worthless elemental things, to which you desire to be enslaved all over again? (Galatians 4:9, NASB) Reformed Theology With Counter Reformation Spirituality? In the December 30, 2009 […]

…the sacrifices of pagans are offered to demons, not to God, and I do not want you to be participants with demons.

This is a follow-up to the Apprising Ministries piece Doug Pagitt And The Emerging Church Agenda and gives you more evidence concerning the so-called “conversation” of the egregiously ecumenical Emerging Church aka Emergent Church that morphed into Emergence Christianity (EC). You need to understand that this cult of a postliberalism, now firmly within mainstream evangelicalism, was always a “revolution” with […]

This online apologetics and discernment work Apprising Ministries has been covering the egregiously ecumenical Emerging Church aka Emergent Church that morphed into Emergence Christianity (EC)—and which is now a cult of a postliberalism firmly within mainstream evangelicalism—for some five years now.

Apprising Ministries has warned in posts e.g. Calvinist Contemplative Spirituality/Mysticism? and Disciplines To Deception In Southern Baptist Convention that for years now Contemplative Spirituality/Mysticism (CSM) as taught by Living Spiritual Teacher and Quaker mystic Richard Foster along with his spiritual twin and Southern Baptist minister Dallas Willard has been rapidly spreading throughout mainstream evangelicalism under the guise of spurious Spiritual Formation. What follows is yet another sad case in point. Yesterday […]

Apprising Ministries began looking into this question in Confusion Concerning Calvinist Spirituality? Therein I followed up a tip from a reader concerning The Village Church (TVC) where Matt Chandler, a professing Calvinist, is pastor.
