Here are some thoughts on the emerging church. Most of these thoughts were brought about by Mark Driscolll's book "Confessions of a Reformission Rev".
First of all I learned today that there are two distinction. Here are 2 different looks (take note the names: Emerging vs. Emergent):
1. The Emerging Church: Seeks to reach people for the glory of God. This definition is true to God and His Word and is focused on Jesus for who He is. This movement I seem to like. They are about being real and genuine. This movement is very much involved in engaging the culture. Bringing Jesus to a postmodern culture.
2. The Emergent Church: Some trends: More mystical, no literal death of Christ as forgiveness of our sins, homosexuals are not sinful, hell is not literal, God does not know the future and gender roles. "the emergent church is the latest version of liberalism." -1
These are just a few thoughts. I am sure over the next week I will have some more thoughts.
