One of the current issues that many are talking about is called the Emergent Church Movement. When examined closely, we find these same three errors present. But before we dive into the present, we need to see that some of the errors of the Emergent Church Movement are also the very same issues that Jesus confronted in the mainstream of Bible believers in His day.
In fact, we could say that Jesus confronted the four main religious groups in His day, who were Bible believing, but had mixed in false teachings and practices. We examined many of these issues when they first came up in June of 2005, in a message I called “How to Spot a False Teacher,” and I will repeat again Christ’s call to guard sound doctrine.
By New Testament times, Jesus faced four different types of so-called Bible (Old Testament) believers within organized religion. All four based their actions upon some part of God’s Word (the Old Testament), but all had very serious doctrinal flaws that almost completely obscured any truth they might have rightly held.
