Another element that threatens the evangelical church is the ongoing erosion of evangelical faith by the impact of liberal theology. Liberal theology saw its heyday in the nineteenth century and raised its head again with the neo-liberalism that captured the mainline churches of the twentieth century. Yet it is by no means dead. Perhaps the place where liberalism is manifesting itself most dangerously is within the walls of churches that have historically been strongly evangelical. David F. Wells describes the crisis of the twenty-first century church as “vacuous worship.” A vacuous worship is one that is empty of content. It is satisfied with platitudes, pop psychology, and entertainment. Such worship is devoid of the Word of God and of the authentic sacrifice of praise.

Unfortunately, I’ve heard of ELCA pastors using the same words, “There may be unity... but not necessarily uniformity” as their wedge to justify their denomination’s pro-homosexual position. I guess anyone can twist words.

According to this Christianity Today article/poll

http://www.christianitytoday.com/ct/2014/october-web-only/new-poll-finds-evangelicals-favorite-heresies.html

...27 percent of self-described “evangelicals” are Arians (condemned at the Council of Nicea, AD 325) and well over half believe the Holy Spirit to be an impersonal force rather than the third PERSON of the most Holy Trinity.

Kyrie Eleison!

Muster up the courage to do the free IRS download of "Pamplet P1828" which specifies the legal details of your tax-exempt church's sertitude to it's U.S. Government Masters.

Heck, I'll even do you the favor of providing the internet link:
