By Roger Oakland In order for the emerging church to succeed, the Bible has to be looked at through entirely different glasses, and Christianity needs to be open to a new type of faith. Brian McLaren calls this new faith a “generous orthodoxy.”1 While such an orthodoxy allows a smorgasbord of ideas to be proclaimed in the name of Christ, many of these ideas are actually forbidden and rejected by Scripture. Doug Pagitt believes that he is part of a cutting-edge [Continue reading ...] Roger Oakland’s ministry “Understand The Times” has been such a blessing in my walk with the Lord. Here he explains the Emergent Pattern of The Emergent Church, a seeker friendly Christian movement touted to be the “New” Christianity for the Post-Modern World. But is the Emergent Church really a fresh approach to teaching sound doctrine, or is it part of the great end times apostasy predicted in the Bible? In this video commentary, Roger Oakland explores the apostate pattern emerging from the Emergent [Continue reading ...] If someone said the emerging church leaders don’t like the Cross, many would cry out, “Yes, they do, I’ve heard them talk about Jesus and the Cross.” However, while this may be true, there is an underlying theme building momentum in the emerging church that says, “Jesus going to the Cross was an example of sacrifice and service that we should follow. But the idea that God would send His Son to a violent death for the sins of mankind – well that is not [Continue reading ...] “Is the emerging church spirituality part of this great falling [Continue reading ...] When the Emerging Church finishes emerging, it will have merged with Rome, and the great delusion will have been [Continue reading ...] The Evangelization of Eucharistic Adoration The Roman Catholic Church has a plan to establish the Kingdom of God here on Earth and win the world to the Roman Catholic Jesus – the Eucharist Christ.

The presence of “Christ” in the Eucharist is the second coming, Roman Catholic style. The Emerging Church is the bridge [Continue reading ...] Riding the Emerging Church Wave How far is this new kind of church willing to go to reach its objective? Emerging church proponents say there is a new wave taking place and we have to hop on. The wave is a Vintage Christianity, which in reality is an experience based religion. Experience must be implemented in order to attract both Christians and non Christians alike; we must appeal to this postmodern generation with its hunger for experience, rituals, and mysticism.

We need a new kind of Christianity if we are going to make a difference in people’s lives and the world around us. But just what is this new kind of Christianity? The Birth of the Emerging Church Contrary to what many believe, the current emerging church movement was not initiated by a group of disillusioned [Continue reading ...] Is the emerging church movement just another fad, (a new thing), a contemporary approach to church, or a bunch of disillusioned young people looking for answers? In fact, it is actually much broader and is influencing Christianity to a significant degree. Grounded in a centuries old mystical approach, this movement is powerful, yet highly deceptive, and it draws its energy from practices and experiences that are foreign to traditional evangelical Christianity.
