Many churches of a “progressive” kind are calling themselves non-denominational, but are still “Darbyists”, following the teachings of John Darby, such as Dispensationalism, Premillennialism and Pre-Tribulation Rapture, Separation from the World, Cessationism, Literal Interpretation of Scripture, and Darbyist Ecclesiology. It affects what you expect from church. No amount of progressiveness changes this. Only when a person learns that the main thing is to keep remembering what Jesus said and let it be guide of future actions, only then does the real change start to progress. Letting in the light. Cleaning what the light shows up as dirty. Receiving the truth, and being set free by Jesus, the world’s true light. Fair warning: Holding onto Darby teachings hinders all this. Learn to let go and let in the Christ light.
