"Christians" Who Try To Poke Holes In Sola Scriptura
by Sandy Simpson
There are a number of the leadership of the Emerging Church (EC) who do not believe that the Bible is the highest authority for the Christian faith. Most do not believe that the Bible is inerrant in the original manuscripts and many do not acknowledge that the Bible is our highest revelation. Yet this is a core doctrine over which true believers and false brethren must separate. Those who try to poke holes in Sola Scriptura make excuses like (1) we need to reinterpret the Bible through the lens of postmodern culture and religion (2) the Bible never uses the words "Sola Scriptura" therefore it is not a Biblical concept (3) there is new revelation for the church through the Holy Spirit apart from what is written and the precepts of the Bible and (4) the Bible just doesn't address our postmodern situation therefore we cannot rely on it for the truth and answers for our problems today. I will prove that all the above arguments, and more, from EC leaders and others is exactly what they are teaching. I will give you quotes from their teachings, videos and books. The postmodern church and its "movements" are abandoning Sola Scriptura in their rush to be like the Roman Catholic Church, which takes its authority from a mix of Scripture and tradition. "As a result the Church, to whom the transmission and interpretation of Revelation is entrusted, "does not derive her certainty about all revealed truths from the holy Scriptures alone. Both Scripture and Tradition must be accepted and honored with EQUAL sentiments of devotion and reverence." (Roman Catholic Catechism, Given October 11, 1992, the thirtieth anniversary of the opening of the Second Vatican Ecumenical Council, in the fourteenth year of my P
ontificate. Page 31).

by Orrell Steinkamp The Plumbline Volume 19, No. 3, May/June 2014
The leaders of international Pentecostalism are moving toward a repeat of the first Pentecost. This world-wide "convergence" as they call it is named Empower 21. There already have been world-wide regional meetings to prepare for a Pentecost repeat in
Jerusalem on Pentecost Sunday 2015. They expect tens of thousand of the world-wide Pentecostal faithful to attend. Even as the first Pentecost included many Jewish faithful of the Jewish diaspora in the Roman Empire,who had gathered in Jerusalem on the feast day
of Pentecost, now nearly two thousand years later, international Pentecostalism will converge in Jerusalem once again

Biblical Discipleship - The Transforming Life | by Gary Gilley Think On These Things (May/June 2014 - Volume 20, Issue 3)
Other forms of spirituality, both in biblical times as well as today, may have the appearance of "wisdom in self-made religion" (2:23), but in the end they are mere detours from the real life found in Christ. Like the Colossians, Paul was concerned that the Corinthian church was being led to a spiritual dead-end. He writes, "But I am afraid that, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, your minds will be led astray from the simplicity and purity of devotion to Christ" (2 Cor 11:3). Spiritual formation, mysticism, New Age spirituality and a host of other influences draw believers today away from the simplicity of Christ. Our Lord would have us cling tenaciously to Christ Himself, shedding the weights that slow us down and the sins that so easily entangle us, so that we can run the race set before us with endurance, "fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith" (Heb 12:1-2).
