As someone who was discipled as a young Christian by a very godly assistant pastor who was Nigerian I found this eyewitness review of one of the stops of emerging church pastor Rob Bell in his recent tour to be quite interesting:

I was fortunate enough to be able to go and see Rob Bell speak at an event he calls "the gods arn’t angry". I went with my brother, my brother insisted on the way there that I was making a big deal out of this whole Rob Bell thing…I stated it was more serious then he thought…

Rob Bell came out to a applause, not greeting the audience or introducing himself but immediately sucking you in to his incredibly brilliant and captivating story telling methods… One thing is clear, Rob Bell is heavy on universalism. You see According to Rob Bell Jesus died to save us not from hell, but from guilt so we can have peace.

Kind of odd, isn’t it, how so many of us seem to get this from Emergent Church leaders like Rob Bell.
