In The Beginning: The 19th Century Rise of Protestant Liberalism
“Schleiermacher’s radical proposal that Christianity must adapt to its cultural milieu was the first of many liberal capitulations to evolving worldviews.”
https://tabletalkmagazine.com/article/2019/05/rise-protestant-liberalism/
and…
“In the aftermath of liberalism’s success in promoting pluralism within mainline churches, the most remarkable feature of the current religious scene is the extent to which pluralism has made its way into evangelical churches… Historically, evangelicalism represented a stalwart effort to resist the incursion of worldviews alien to historical orthodoxy that threatens the integrity of its teaching. The irony of the rising tide of pluralism is that such changes occurred within [universities — especially the Ivy League schools] that were [originally] founded to combat the [liberal, pluralistic] ideas that are now [in complete control of most of those universities]… [Since] pluralism has indeed captured the church, the church must respond… Pastors and theologians cannot fulfill the mandate alone. All of God’s people must accept the challenge. Paul addressed his letters to churches as well as individuals. We must therefore be worldview ambassadors corporately in our teaching and preaching, and individually in our everyday vocations.”

Immorality Embraced by So-Called Christian ‘Love’
“God, [‘Christian’ liberals] believe, has certified and allowed the liberal/leftist agenda including abortion, the [hetero]sexual revolution… and the homosexual agenda which is seen as a defense of ‘love’ and ‘equality’… These distortions and immoral positions… were illegal throughout the land as well as being non-starters in churches [for almost 21 centuries]. Now they are the law[s] of the land. Thus the law[s] of the land of the U.S.A. [are] now totally [opposite of] the law[s] of [morality] enacted by Almighty God… [These anti-Christian ‘laws’] are rooted in a heresy in Christian theology known as antinomianism… This heresy teaches that since salvation is by grace, and since Christians are no longer under the Law (of Moses), God’s grace and mercy extends to all in a way that sinful behavior is forgiven by God in Christ… [and] grace is extended without repentance… Holy living [therefore], required by the Puritans [because it was prescribed by the Bible, including throughout the New Testament, e.g. Col 3:5-6 , is] no longer essential in Christ… In the contemporary [liberal] church world, tolerance of sin is no longer considered kind enough or loving enough… and anything that could be considered Christian judgmentalism [has been] muted by the liberal churches. In the name of ‘love‘, increasing numbers of churches [have become] tolerant of sin… A ‘woman’s right to choose‘ [i.e. to murder her own children in-utero] is [now] openly embraced by… the National Council of Churches… [and] homosexuality [even] among the clergy is ‘acceptable‘… That heresy [of antinomianism] over time became the basis for increasing toleration of sin [as well as INtoleration of Christian morality]. Toleration [then] morphed into celebration. Today, the transvaluation of values predicted by the [atheist, anti-Christian] German philosopher Frederick Nietzsche, whereby good becomes bad and bad becomes good [cf. Is 5:20 ], is a social reality.”
https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2019/07/immorality_embraced_by_socalled_christian_love.html
[Regarding the heresy that God’s “grace is extended without repentance“…]
“For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you abstain from sexual immorality; that each one of you know how to control his own body in holiness and honor, not in the passion of lust like the [liberals] who do not know God… because the Lord is an avenger in all these things, as we told you beforehand and solemnly warned you. For God has not called us for impurity, but in holiness. Therefore whoever disregards this, disregards not man but God, who gives his Holy Spirit to [those who truly believe].”
1Thessalonians 4:3-8
“Anyone who rejects the teaching of Paul and the other Apostles on human sexuality is rejecting God Himself. Thus, one cannot be a Christian and believe the world’s false narratives about human sexuality or embrace a sexual ethic that approves of homosexuality, heterosexual fornication, bestiality, pornography, incest, adultery, pedophilia, premarital cohabitation, polygamy, or anything else forbidden by the Lord in His Word ( Lev. 18 ; 1 Cor. 5 ; 6:9–11 ; 1 Thess. 4:3–7 ). This is not to say that it is impossible for Christians to commit sexual sin. Believers can and do fall into all types of sin, including violations of God’s sexual ethic. And thanks be to God, there is forgiveness for all types of sin, including sexual transgressions, IF we trust in Christ and RENOUNCE our evil ways ( 1 John 1:8–9 ). But those who have been converted to Christ do not approve of sexual sin or seek to change the biblical ethic. They embrace the Bible’s teaching, even while recognizing that they fall short of it. Anyone who professes Christ and rejects God’s Word on sexual matters does not have the Holy Spirit and thus is not a true believer ( 1 Thess. 4:8 ). If we want to please God, we must [WANT to] keep His moral law. And if we do not want to keep His moral law, we do not want to please Him and cannot call ourselves Christians.”
https://tabletalkmagazine.com/daily-study/2020/02/disregarding-god/
… &
“[T]rue repentance does not exist without a resolve to obey the Lord. It is not enough merely to recognize our sin, admit it, and ask for forgiveness; we must also intend to serve God and keep His commandments, even while we recognize that we will not do so perfectly (Deut. 30:1–10 ; 1 John 1:8–9 )… [T]o have no resolve to obey and no fruit of obedience whatsoever reveals the lack of true spiritual life, that is, the lack of the new heart given in regeneration that exercises saving faith ( John 3:1–21 ; James 2:14–26 ).”

The 10 Commandments of Progressive [ i.e. Fake] “Christianity”
1. Jesus is a model for living more than an object of worship.
2. Affirming people’s potential is more important than reminding them of their brokenness.
3. The work of reconciliation should be valued over making judgments.
4. Gracious behavior is more important than right belief.
5. Inviting questions is more valuable than supplying answers.
6. Encouraging the personal search is more important than group uniformity.
7. Meeting actual needs is more important than maintaining institutions.
8. Peacemaking is more important than power.
9. We should care more about love and less about sex.
10. Life in this world is more important than the afterlife (eternity is God’s work anyway).
https://www.michaeljkruger.com/new-series-the-10-commandments-of-progressive-christianity/
[The term “should” in #9 above is prescriptive rather than descriptive of liberal “Christianity”. Liberal (i.e. fake) “Christians” almost never actually follow that dictum but they are quick to hypocritically repeat it. That point is clearly defended in the essay to which the link in the #9 topic sends readers (from the page linked below the list above).]

Progressive “Theologians” Release Line Of Mood Rings For Determining Doctrinal Truth
—————-
“American society is now more ‘open’ than it was in the dark ages of the 1950’s. Except it isn’t. It still has its closets. American society has merely changed the groups which it pushes into those closets. Today, Christians are being forced into closets as the sexual minorities move out.”

Liberalism Defined and Displayed:
“[A] liberal ‘Christian’ is someone who is redefining the Christian faith so that it is shaped by one or more contemporary philosophies and/or ideologies. In other words, the philosophies or ideologies change the ‘Christian’ faith so that the ‘faith’ is aligned with, and does not contradict, the philosophy or ideology in vogue. [About a century] ago, the liberal ‘Christian’ faith began to change to fit with [materialistic naturalism/evolutionism, then] Marxism, and [eventually] the sexual revolution [most recently manifested by homosexuality and transgenderism]. Today [liberal ‘Christianity’ has also been assimilated by] postmodernism, feminism, and [occultic] spirituality.
Conservative Christianity [on the other hand] seeks biblically faithful, biblically controlled Christianity – a Christianity which is prepared [and willing] to dissent from the dominant philosophies and ideologies of society because Jesus Christ is the Lord and Saviour that people in every time and every people group truly need to be made right with the true and living God, creator and sustainer of all things.”

Co-opting Jesus’ Name in the Name of Liberalism

Jesus’s words hold the assumption that money is part of life, that societies use it and will use it for a long time. There’s even an implied capitalism there, with workers paid directly for a day’s work, and business owners having dominion over how they spend and distribute their capital (Matthew 20:13-15). It’s far from the [progressive ‘Christian’] dream…”

“Uwan graduated from Westminster Theological Seminary and under the guise of true religion pushes critical theory and liberation theology.”
https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2019/04/white_people_must_repent.html
[Historically, and even recently, WTS has been staunchly conservative theologically (that goes for both the Philadelphia and California institutions, which were organizationally connected for decades but have been separate for several years now). That such politically liberal ideas are now “graduating” from WTS (in this case, Philadelphia) reveals how little time the administration there has spent reading the many resources ASND provides here . ]
[BTW, for those who don’t know what “liberation theology” is…]
“It is not only in their prejudices against capitalism that the liberation theologians have been found wanting… liberation theology faces another basic choice; it must choose between revolution and democracy. Defenders of liberation theology hope to rescue the situation by shifting the focus of attention from the movement’s social theory to its theology… Although not altogether absent, that was certainly not the major note that liberation theologians struck in the beginning… Liberation theology… was [originally] about ‘praxis,’ the Marxist term for the revolutionary project of removing the oppression of the poor… At its inception, liberation theology was grounded in… socialism, and the Latin American proposition was that through the practical work of building socialist societies, the poor of the third world would throw off the oppression they suffered at the hands of the first world, especially the United States… [but] the preoccupation of liberation theologians with useless socialist methods has left them with little practical to say to the poor of Latin America… The willful blindness of the liberation theologians, their unwillingness to search in the world of social theory beyond the lucubrations of socialism, has had very high costs for the poor during these past twenty years.“
