"America Gospel: Christ Crucified" exposes Progressive Christianity.

Alisa Childers is an apologist that specializes in coming against the false gospel of Progressive Christianity. While reading about her, I found that she was connected to Impact 360. I wasn't sure what Impact 360 was so I looked them up and found out they are also in Georgia! I recently got to talk to someone who works there now that used to work for us at Adventures in Missions.

He told me how Impact 360 is very similar to RZIM. (Ravi Zacharias Institute Ministry) They train people in apologetics. And they told me that they just did a 6 part blog post with Alisa Childers on Progressive Christianity.

Here is just one of their articles, but you can read more here.

I'll highlight some excerpts from the article I noted:

Progressive Christians view the Bible as a record of what people believed about God in the times and places in which they lived, rather than the inspired and authoritative Word of God. 

Progressive Christians generally reject the doctrine of original sin, trading it for a concept called “Original Blessing” or “Original Goodness.”[ii] If we aren’t inherently sinful and separated from God by our sin, Jesus’ death becomes more of an example of love and forgiveness to follow than an atoning sacrifice that reconciles us to the Father. 

In progressive circles, however, the idea that God would require the blood sacrifice of his only Son makes God the Father out to be some kind of divine child abuser. 

This is why many progressive Christians affirm some form of universalism, the idea that all humans (and, in some cases, all of creation and even fallen angels) will be saved and spend eternity with God. 

As you can see, progressive Christian theological beliefs are not simply secondary issues we can agree to disagree about. The progressive Christian movement is promoting a Bible that is not authoritative, a Jesus who didn’t die for you, and a God who cannot save you. Put simply, it’s another gospel— and not the good news that truly sets us free for life as God intended.
