A biblical Expose’ of the Philosophy, Doctrines and

Leaders

But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. 9As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.

'Velvet Elvis – Repainting the Christian Faith”

- a book about redefining Christianity Sex God: Exploring the Endless Connections

between Sexuality and Spirituality

Bell’s latest book is titled:

Jesus Wants to Jesus Wants to Save ChristiansSave Christians

A Manifesto for the A Manifesto for the Church in ExileChurch in Exile

Both BellBell and McLarenMcLaren recommend Ken Wilbur’sKen Wilbur’s book A

Brief History of Everything.

Wilbur is a practicing Mayan Buddhist.

He promotes Yoga, Zen and Kabbalah

Wilbur’s book teaches that Christianity is

currently in the fourth of nine levels of evolution…

McLarenMcLaren states: “I am trying, with Ken Wilbur’s

help, to make it clear that I believe there is something

above and beyond the current alternatives of

modern fundamentalism & absolutism and pluralistic

relativism.”

Of Wilbur’s book, Rob Bell says: “Read that book for three months.”

McLaren says: “Thanks to Wilbur’s book I have an

understanding of the world and where theology is going.”

That instead of offering Himself as a once-for-all sacrifice for the sins of mankind, Jesus dies to prove to the human race that God is not angry with them, that He loves them pretty much as they are, and that there is no need to repent.

On SALVATION, THE CROSS and REPENTANCE Rob BellRob Bell says…

Rob Bell says that “repentance is not turning from sin. It is a ‘celebration’ of life in Christ.” He further stated that anyone who tells you that you need to repent is not talking about Christianity.

On SALVATION, THE CROSS and REPENTANCE Rob BellRob Bell says…

If he is right, thenJohn the Baptist (Matthew 3:2)

Peter (Acts 3:19)Paul (Acts 20:21) and

The Lord Jesus Christ Himself (Matthew 4:17; 9:13) weren’t

preaching what we understand as Christianity either!

To come to his conclusion, Bell Bell has to ignore all of the New Testament evidence that repentance is turning from sin and turning to Christ alone in faith.

He also has to ignore the Jewish doctrine of repentance which was turning from sin to turn to God.

On INSPIRATION and INTERPRETATION of THE BIBLERob BellRob Bell says "The Bible is a collection of stories that teach us about what it looks like when God is at work through actual people. The Bible has the authority it does only because it contains stories about people interacting with the God who has all authority.“ Velvet Elvis, p.65

Like Brian McLarenBrian McLaren and Tony Tony JonesJones,, Rob Bell Rob Bell is a theological revisionist who simply doesn’t believe what the Bible says …

He is clearly teaching false doctrine.

On BIBLICAL AUTHORITY (Solo Scriptura) Rob BellRob Bell says,“(This is) part of the problem with continually insisting that one of the absolutes of the Christian faith must be a belief that "Scripture alone" is our guide. It sounds nice, but it is not true…When people say that all we need is the Bible, it is simply not true.” Velvet Elvis, p.68

“This is not just the same old message with new methods.  We’re rediscovering Christianity as an Eastern religion, as a way of life.” - Rob BellRob BellChristianity Today, November, 2004, pp. 36-41

This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. 2For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, 4Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more

than lovers of God; 5Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. 6For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, 7Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
