Thank you. I have never heard that term before. That term leads me to one big question: When does this "progressive revelation" end?
That question isn't necessarily for you to answer; just a question in my head.
Martin Luther disagreed with The Church and modified some Church teachings. Another man agrees with a lot of Luther's doctrines but he is progressive and he disagrees with Luther on some teachings. A student of that man disagrees with him etc etc for the next 500 year? 700 years? 1,000 years? When does it end and who is right?
And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: (Ephesians 4:11-15)
