A follower of Christ should not be friendly to any concerns of the emergent church. Your posted statements relative to orthodoxy, and so forth, smack of complete emergent speak.

What they mean by "christianese" is the actual biblical definitions/meanings of salvation, atonement, sin, repentance, Word of God, prayer, holiness, kingdom of God and etc. They don't like the actual biblical definitions...so they are revising them (making another gospel).

I'm not aware of very many Emergents who are Magesterial Protestants

That is okay...I am not aware of many Emergents who are really Christians!

Any disciple/friend of Brian Mclaren, and the like, are an enemy of the church (or at least acting like one).

I'm not familiar enough with the Emergent movement to have a fully informed opinion. The only emergent church I am familiar enough with is as theologically conservative as any other church - and I know that they certainly do not redefine away "salvation," "atonement," etc.

There's tares in every church - including yours. Your point being?

One can recognize that they have legitimate concerns without being a "friend or disciple" of theirs.
