Evangelicals are not heretics, at least not consciously. We believe the Bible is the authoritative and inerrant Word of God. But many have abandoned this ancient wisdom of the Church because they do not think it is adequate for the challenges of our time. We still use the Bible's vocabulary, but we give it new meaning, pouring bad secular content into spiritual terms. Sin becomes dysfunctional behavior.
Salvation is self-esteem or wholeness.
Jesus becomes an example for right living more that a Savior from sin. As for methods, many are preoccupied almost exclusively with numerical growth and money. We have fulfilled his prophecy, and it is not yet the year 2000. The tragic part of this is that evangelicals are largely unaware of what is happening. We are dying for a lack of that robust, biblical, God-centered, Reformation theology that was always the heart of the evangelical movement.
