Today’s Session – Preventing the Infiltration of Progressive Christianity

I. Identifying and Answering Subtle Traits of Progressive Christianity

II. Recognising the Signs of Progressive Christianity in the Church

III. Steps to Keep Progressive Christianity From Entering the Church

Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; (2) Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; (1Tim 4:1-2)

(For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled. (2Cor 10:4-6)

Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee. (1Tim 4:16).

(I) IDENTIFYING AND ANSWERING SUBTLE TRAITS OF PROGRESSIVE CHRISTIANITY

A. Inclusivism excludes exclusivism

A.1. We are opposed to any exclusive dogma that limits the search for truth and free inquiry 1

A.2. Sees conservatives as arrogant dualists … divide reality and people into categories like God and Satan, heaven and hell, sin and salvation, saved and unsaved, belief and unbelief.

A.3. Strongly critical of fundamentalism and conservative practices

A.3.1. They criticized fundamentalist to be “Unwilling to do God’s work and aghast over the decline of dogma they deemed fundamental, fundamentalists of the late 19th and early 20th century rejected the Social Gospel.”2

A.3.2. Against churches with a “culture of judgment”, and who have a “fondness for black and- white, either-or thinking” 3

B. God’s love is unconditional 4

B.1. Because “God will accomplish the salvation of every person in this life or the next no matter how long we resist”, “the purpose of life was to live graciously.”

B.2. The time is now for us to “abandon theologies and philosophies that destroy and separate. We must embrace ideas that heal and unite. More than ideas, we need to embrace people—those who like us and more important, those who do not.

B.3. It is not about accepting Jesus as Lord and Savior, but to consider his example and imitate his way.

Does Seeing Mean Believing? (1 Samuel 6:10-18)

Speaker: Reverend Joseph Poon

Bible Passage (KJV): 1 Samuel 6:10-18

10 And the men did so; and took two milch kine, and tied them to the cart, and shut up their calves at home: 

11 And they laid the ark of the LORD upon the cart, and the coffer with the mice of gold and the images of their emerods. 

12 And the kine took the straight way to the way of Bethshemesh, and went along the highway, lowing as they went, and turned not aside to the right hand or to the left; and the lords of the Philistines went after them unto the border of Bethshemesh. 

13 And they of Bethshemesh were reaping their wheat harvest in the valley: and they lifted up their eyes, and saw the ark, and rejoiced to see it. 

14 And the cart came into the field of Joshua, a Bethshemite, and stood there, where there was a great stone: and they clave the wood of the cart, and offered

the kine a burnt offering unto the LORD. 

15 And the Levites took down the ark of the LORD, and the coffer that was with it, wherein the jewels of gold were, and put them on the great stone: and the

men of Bethshemesh offered burnt offerings and sacrificed sacrifices the same day unto the LORD. 

16 And when the five lords of the Philistines had seen it, they returned to Ekron the same day. 

17 And these are the golden emerods which the Philistines returned for a trespass offering unto the LORD; for Ashdod one, for Gaza one, for Askelon one, for

Gath one, for Ekron one; 

18 And the golden mice, according to the number of all the cities of the Philistines belonging to the five lords, both of fenced cities, and of country villages, even unto the great stone of Abel, whereon they set down the ark of the LORD: which stone remaineth unto this day in the field of Joshua, the Bethshemite.

Bible Passage (KJV): John 18:24-38

24 Now Annas had sent him bound unto Caiaphas the high priest.

25 And Simon Peter stood and warmed himself. They said therefore unto him, Art not thou also one of his disciples? He denied it, and said, I am not.

26 One of the servants of the high priest, being his kinsman whose ear Peter cut off, saith, Did not I see thee in the garden with him?

27 Peter then denied again: and immediately the cock crew.

28 Then led they Jesus from Caiaphas unto the hall of judgment: and it was early; and they themselves went not into the judgment hall, lest they should be defiled; but that they might eat the passover.

29 Pilate then went out unto them, and said, What accusation bring ye against this man?

30 They answered and said unto him, If he were not a malefactor, we would not have delivered him up unto thee.

31 Then said Pilate unto them, Take ye him, and judge him according to your law. The Jews therefore said unto him, It is not lawful for us to put any man to death:

32 That the saying of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spake, signifying what death he should die.

33 Then Pilate entered into the judgment hall again, and called Jesus, and said unto him, Art thou the King of the Jews?

34 Jesus answered him, Sayest thou this thing of thyself, or did others tell it thee of me?

35 Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? Thine own nation and the chief priests have delivered thee unto me: what hast thou done?

36 Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.

37 Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice.

38 Pilate saith unto him, What is truth? And when he had said this, he went out again unto the Jews, and saith unto them, I find in him no fault at all.
