The Emergent Church movement is nothing more than modern Gnosticism-a kind of new age free for all so called religion. It embraces all types of religion although claims to be Christian oriented. Rejects most of the Bible and focuses pretty much on the gospels minus any doctinal points or the miracles. It engages in walking the labrynth for some, prayer beads, contemplative prayer/meditation techniques, speaking in tongues if one chooses (the gibberish type-not the Biblical type which were foriegn languages for preaching the Gospel), rock music and any other feel-goodism you can toss in. It is about finding common ground between the churched, non-churched and other religions.
But what did Christ say? Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. John 14:6
Paul warned us - As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed. Galatians 1:9
Gnostics were a type of early heresy in the Christian church that was a mix of what we would call today Christianity and new age/eastern mysticism.
Brian McLaren is the guru of this movement.
