That is why I call the Emergent Church Rosemary’s baby of the seeker friendly movement. The leaders of the Emergent Church grew up in the seeker churches where Bible doctrine was downplayed.

The post-modern emergent movement along with Rome’s leadership fits to a tee the Harlot Woman who rides the Beast of Revelation. They most likely will be brought together in a war against Islam and it will hate fundamental religion of any kind and embrace all beliefs except those who claim to have absolute truth.

What Happens When the Church Puts Primary Value on Attendance and Not on Discipleship and Doctrine – CWN: “The Emerging Church Movement is about evangelizing the consumer. This thinking is not new. Consumer evangelists have been around for some time. Here’s what you do; find out what the unchurched (unchurched is a nice way of saying lost and going to hell) want and need and give it to them. Their target audience just so happens to be those in their 20s and 30s. I have been to emerging leadership conferences and have heard many of the proponents of this movement. It seems to me that the common theme is reaching a people group by repackaging the church to reflect postmodernism. The thinking is that they will be able to reach the postmodern audience that traditional churches have failed to reach. The emerging conversation didn’t sprout up overnight and it isn’t anything we should be surprised about because it is a direct byproduct of the evangelical thought process that has been around for a long time. Over the last 25+ years the church has put great value on attendance and less value on discipleship and doctrine. As a result, when Generation X came into leadership in every denomination they were already conditioned to a thought process of reaching people by whatever means possible. When it seems, then, that numbers equal success, there is an enormous temptation to sweeten the gospel message that few can resist.”
