The "Emergent Church"

Geoff Botkin said that the so called emergent church is not church. It is disgraceful pagan childishness and ecclesiastical treason. It is a proven failure and an admitted failure. Bill Bright who started it acknowledged that the emergent church was a big mistake.

No dominion; No cultural transformation; It is a social club trying to reduce the gospel to bring in unbelievers and becomes a “church” filled with unbelievers. A church of asking Jesus into your heart without the R word: repentance. There is no forgiveness without repentance. Jesus died on the cross to fulfill the law of God. The Law is holy, just and good. Without the Law of God, we have no clue what Jesus was doing hanging on the cross.

Cyrus Scofield (as in Scofield Reference Bible) said that if the Jews had repented, Jesus would not have needed to die on the cross. Scofield did not understand the law and the prophets which foretold the coming of the just one who came to fulfill the law. All the sacrifices pointed to the coming of the perfect lamb that took away the sin of the world. No one was ever saved by the sacrifices. They were looking forward to Jesus. Scofield taught that Jesus did it out of love, not as a fulfillment of the law because Scofield was antinomian, anti-dominion, anti-cultural reformation.
