Fake Salvation in Modern Gnostic America

Timing is everything. For half a century Christopher Raoul Carranza along with others has been passionately criticizing dispensationalist pastors and mainstream American churches for promoting a distorted version of salvation. Nineteenth-century Dispensationalism is a contemporary version of a gnostic gospel that has existed for nearly two millennia. But suddenly the very people who had dogmatically defended Protestant easy-believism and the old dispensational gospel are themselves adding contradictory conditions to their teachings. Why? It appears that by borrowing the dispensational foundational teachings like behavior doesn't matter an emphasis on Christ's finished work on the cross and the practice of the sinner's prayer pseudo-conversion the homosexual community has found a cure for the chronic blindness of mainstream Protestantism and dispensationalism. Many mainstream pastors are now rushing to reassess and reshape core beliefs and doctrines that were once regarded as foundational and unquestionably biblical. Churches are splitting over this issue. In this book Carranza illustrates how the entirety of American Protestantism has gradually degenerated into a more nuanced and insidious manifestation of the already distorted nineteenth-century American religious mindset. What began as a slow fall to the bottom--a Christianity that prioritized pleasing the masses and catering to their desires for a more palatable form of faith--turned into a landslide.
