When Baylor University returned a $1.65 million LGBT recently — one tied to DEI efforts and LGBT initiatives — it sent a ripple through the Christian world.
On the surface, it looked like a victory: a Christian institution backing down in the face of public pressure from believers. But as Allie Beth Stuckey and others rightly pointed out, this wasn’t a win born from spiritual conviction. It was a calculated retreat. One that exposed a much deeper problem than any single grant. It exposed the growing danger of Progressive Christianity.
This movement isn’t just a theological shift. It’s a spiritual counterfeit — one that keeps the language of Christianity but trades the authority of Scripture for the approval of culture. Progressive Christianity deceives from the inside. It misleads under the banner of Jesus — offering a form of godliness but denying its power (2 Timothy 3:5). And it’s costing people their salvation.
What is Progressive Christianity, really?
Progressive Christianity isn’t just a more “open-minded” version of the faith — it’s a total redefinition of it. At its core, progressive theology tends to reject the authority and inerrancy of the Bible, reinterpret sin through the lens of human experience, emphasize love and inclusion over holiness and repentance, and downplay the exclusivity of Christ for salvation.
In this view, truth is flexible. God’s commands are negotiable. And Jesus becomes more of a moral teacher than a Savior who calls us to deny ourselves, take up our cross, and follow Him (Luke 9:23). That’s not Christianity. That’s deception.
