yeah they frequent this forum also
it means they view God through a personal filter of their own idea of love, often will condone gay marriage, abortion and make excuses for the worst kinds of people and tell you that you should never judge
what they actually mean is, don't judge THEIR actions by the Bible because they will condemn themselves
IMO, it is impossible to be a so called 'liberally progressive' Christian
seeker friendly churches are often their preferred place of 'worship'
above all, they will refuse all conclusive evidence that scripture states the opposite of the values they eschew, but will be happy to tell anyone who actually upholds biblical values, that they have no love and do not 'understand' God
it's about as wishy washy as you can get

Actually Christians cannot be liberally progressive and still maintain a Christian testimony. For example, Christians cannot support or condone abortion, gay rights, same sex marriage, transgender nonsense, etc. Neither can they support political anarchy, undermining the Constitution, undermining the laws of the land, or aiding and abetting terrorists and enemies of the state. And that is what the liberally progressives believe in.
Your are absolutely right. When you read "progressive" translate that as "REGRESSIVE". Satan is in the business of perverting everything to mean the opposite of what it should be.
We have seen the regressive behavior of the Left-Liberals, the Democrats, the Anarchists, and the Communists ever since Hillary Clinton lost along with the rejection of the Democrats. Which shows that they have nothing positive or sane to contribute to society or to the nation. At the same time, the so-called Republicans (RINOs) are no better, and they have also jumped on the same bandwagon.
Christians should understand that all these groups hate Christ, hate Christians, hate Christianity, but will do anything to support Islamists and other evildoers.

When I saw this, the keyword that stuck out to me was Liberally.....anytime I see something in the form of Liberal, my thought it, that's someone on the left, and chances are, if they are on the Liberal agenda, then they are going to go against the word of God. Abortion, that's the biggest thing, it's the murdering of an innocent young life that deserves a chance to grow. Like Muzunugu256 said, they pick and choose things out of the bible, only the good things that people want to hear, they don't choose the real truth about if you die without accepting Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior, you will not see heaven. No that doesn't sit well with people, but that's Gods word! It's in there. We should ALL be progressive as believers, BUT not this way. Our progress should be the furthering of the Kingdom of God by spreading the good news which is Christ Jesus 
Yes, I'm afraid social justice has taken on a different meaning in today's world and that church denominations have allowed such to creep into their congregations.
I am a member of the Methodist denomination but have found some of that doctrine to not fit into my Christian belief. First and foremost, I'm a Christian who worships under the Methodist format. However, when I worship there, it is solely with God that my spirit worships.
I have become quite lax in my regular Sunday worship gathering. I do continue to worship but just not in that building.
There comes a time when we have to make our own choice as to what Church we are going to attend. I had to make that decision and have jhad to make it more than once as my understanding of the Word of God has grown. I started going to a non-demoninational fellowship, then begin to attend the Calvary Chapel's that originate in Southern California, loved their style of teaching, verse by verse, book by book. Which helped me grow quite a bit, but I grow to understand doctrines that they did not hold to. Which was interesting because I came to believe them by the teaching they taught by keeping the teaching in the context that it was written in. But even though they were non-demoninational, they had denominational beliefs, I stayed there for about 8 years while not agreeing with all that they taught or maybe saying believing what they taught by the Bible, but they understood it differently.
Then I found the Acts 29 group and they believed what I believed more than the Calvary's did. Finding a new Church is part of the maturing process, as we learn and understand the Bible more in our growth in the Lord, we will need to move on some times. Once the teaching of the Church you are attending had become so far from what you hold to, it is time to move on. It is not a bad thing it is just part of growing. I have seen pastor's that have grown past the denomination that they belong to and have had to remove themselves from that denomination and start a new Church.
What I like about the Acts 29 movement is that you do not have to hold to the "L" in T.U.L.I.P to be a memeber to their fellowships. They are into evangelism, Church planting, the gifts of the Spirit in an orderly fashion, no charasmatic chaos. If there is a tongue there needs to be an interpretaion, which I find Biblical and it causes people to think about what they are doing. If they do speak in a tongue and there is no interpretaion, that person knows that they need to be awhere of what they are doing.
The other thing I like is there are many who like to talk about theology that they have understood by their study of the Word of God. Which is great to me, I love sharing things I have learned though the study of God's Word. Iron sharpens iron, it also helps keep me in check and give me an oppertunity to get ideas and share ideas. Plus get other believers to help me understand the Word of God, because someone may have an angle that I have not seen yet.

Awesome advice. Thank you.
I've been pondering such a move for sometime now. But I do have my husband to consider. I would appreciate prayers for both of us as sooner or later a decision has to be made.
Please do not consider my lax in church attending as falling away from my faith. It's just that church building I no longer find comfort in.
