Mark Driscoll Names Some Names in the Emergent Church

Date September 25, 2007

Pastor Ken Silva points us to Mark Driscoll’s recent speach at a souther baptist conference where he addressed issues with Emergent leaders Brian McLaren, Rob Bell, and Doug Pagitt.

Read the complete post from Pastor Ken here.

I have listened to Mark Driscoll’s address and I agree with him about McLaren, Bell, and Pagitt. However Driscoll suggest that leaders like Dan Kimball, Donald Miller, John Burke, and Erwin McManus are ‘Evangelicals trying to be relevant’ and we should not be concerned with them. Driscoll’s assesment (or lack of assesment) of the doctrine and theology of these last four men seems strange to me. As I read and evaluate what these men are saying, there is a very real need to speak out againts their heresy as well.

You can find the audio from this conference here.

    hello-

    mark and i have had personal discussions about theology and beliefs and he is reporting accurately. most people who make claims about another’s beliefs, don’t take the time to do what mark has done or if they hear different don’t want to admit they might be wrong and that we are evangelical in doctrine.

    hope this helps ,

    Dan

    Dan,

    Maybe I should be more specific with some of my concerns. Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts here. I agree that many people make claims they can not support with facts. I would love to discuss some of my questions with you if you are open to that. I have no problem admitting I am wrong if indeed I am. I hope that could be said of you as well.

    Are you in agreement with Mark regarding his concerns of Brian McLaren, Rob Bell, and Doug Pagitt.

    Shane
