You can't accept a little bit of Evolution, Psychology, Feminism, homosexuality, or Socialism/Marxism and not expect for it to take over a person's, an institution's, a church's, a political party's, or a society's thinking and behavior.
Allowing for "differences of opinion" is the leaven that will leaven the entire loaf. A little bit of evolution leads to accepting it fully. A little feminism leads to accepting it fully. A little homosexuality leads to accepting it fully. A little bit of psychology leads to accepting it fully. A little socialism/marxism leads to accepting it fully. A little affection for the world leads to loving it fully. Incrementalism is what this is. "Just a little bit" is ok. No it isn't.
Each one of these is a godless, pagan worldview which has taken over Evangelicalism, because it's taken over our society.
"No lie is of the Truth," Scripture states. Conversely Truth is not of a lie. To try and wed lies with truth is as possible as trying to bond Christ to Satan or water to oil. It is impossible. So one will take over. A person will repent of one and be loyal to the other. As King Jesus has said, no man can serve two masters, for he will love one and hate the other. He also stated that a lukewarm person He will reject. Scripture teaches exclusivity and absolutes. Post-Modernism teaches a blending of truth and lies, right and wrong, and an inability to know the difference.
We are to reject an entire philosophy or gospel that does not entirely line up with Scripture. As well, we are to reject the men through which they come.
Col 2:2 that
their hearts may be encouraged, having been knit together in love, and attaining to all the wealth that comes from the
full assurance of understanding, resulting
in a true knowledge of God's mystery, that is,
Christ Himself,
Col 2:3 in whom are hidden all the treasures of
wisdom and knowledge.
Col 2:4 I say
this so that no one will delude you with persuasive argument.
Eph 4:17 This I say therefore, and affirm together with the Lord, that you walk no longer just as the Gentiles also walk, in the futility of their mind,
Eph 4:18 being darkened in their understanding, excluded from the life of God, because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the hardness of their heart;
Eph 4:19 and they, having become callous, have given themselves over to sensuality, for the practice of every kind of impurity with greediness.
Eph 4:20 But you did not learn Christ in this way,
Eph 4:21 if indeed you have heard Him and have been taught in Him, just as truth is in Jesus,
Eph 4:17 This I say therefore, and affirm together with the Lord, that you walk no longer just as the Gentiles also walk, in the futility of their mind,

Eph 4:20 But you did not learn Christ in this way,
Eph 4:21 if indeed you have heard Him and have been taught in Him, just as truth is in Jesus,
2Jn 1:9 Anyone who goes too far
and does not abide in the teaching of Christ, does not have God; the one who
abides in the teaching, he has both the Father and the Son.
2Jn 1:10 If anyone comes to you
and does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your house,
and do not give him a greeting;
2Jn 1:11 for the one who gives him a greeting
participates in his evil deeds.
2Co 6:14 Do not be bound together with unbelievers;
for what partnership have righteousness and lawlessness, or what fellowship has
light with darkness?
2Co 6:15 Or what harmony has Christ with Belial, or
what has a believer in common with an unbeliever?
2Co 6:16 Or what agreement has the temple of God with
idols? For we are the temple of the living God; just as God said, "I WILL
DWELL IN THEM AND WALK AMONG THEM; AND I WILL BE THEIR GOD, AND THEY SHALL BE
MY PEOPLE.
2Co 6:17 "Therefore, COME OUT FROM THEIR MIDST
AND BE SEPARATE," says the Lord. "AND DO NOT TOUCH WHAT IS UNCLEAN;
And I will welcome you.
Do not be deceived: "Bad company ruins good morals."
(1Co 15:33)
