What are Emergent Church leaders teaching that has so many of our current generation tuned in to their "doctrine," but tuned out to holy scripture? How have Emergent leaders captured the hearts and minds of unsuspecting people all over the world, departing from many of the clear teachings, commandments and warnings found in the pages of the bible? Journey with us as we take a closer look at the Emerging Church, its leaders, their teachings and where it is all headed in light of bible prophecy. If you are familiar with any of the leaders spoken of in this documentary, and you love Truth, then you don’t want to miss a second of this compelling, thoroughly documented exposé uncovering the truth behind the Emergent Church. Leaders exposed: Rick Warren, Brian McLaren, Tony Campolo, Rob Bell, Doug Pagitt, Tony Jones, Bono and more…
