Session 8: What Does Theological Liberalism Teach?

In this session of Secret Church 18, Pastor David Platt identifies the primary teachings that characterize theological liberalism. As with the prosperity gospel, those in this category typically fall along a spectrum. Theological liberals reject one or more of the primary doctrines of Christianity, often in an attempt to adapt to or reach a culture that is moving away from Christianity.

This session answers the following questions: (1) What is theological liberalism? (2) What beliefs characterize theological liberalism? (3) How should we respond to theological liberalism? The root problem of theological liberalism is unbelief, for this counterfeit gospel rejects God’s authority in Scripture. This counterfeit gospel must be addressed straightforwardly and can only be overcome through the Spirit’s saving, life-giving work.
