What is Progressive Christianity?

Progressive Christianity is a movement that seeks to update or reimagine the Christian faith to align with modern culture. While it often uses words like inclusive and evolving, it undermines the authority of Scripture, redefines essential doctrines, and presents a fundamentally different gospel.

Why is Progressive Christianity considered dangerous?

Progressive Christianity is dangerous because it lowers the authority of Scripture, redefines the person and work of Christ, affirms cultural moral revisionism, and replaces repentance and faith with self-affirmation. It keeps people from the true gospel and the Savior who alone can save.

How can Christians guard against Progressive Christianity?

Christians can guard against Progressive Christianity by anchoring themselves in God’s Word, remaining committed to historic biblical doctrines, being active in a faithful local church, and growing in discernment through prayer, study, and fellowship with mature believers.

The Marks and Dangers of “Progressive” Christianity

over redemption, and elevates personal experience above biblical truth. In this 12–15 minute episode, Dave Jenkins
outlines the marks of this movement, why it’s dangerous, and how Christians can stand firm on God’s unchanging Word.
