en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rob_Bell
In his writings, Bell affirms things as truth regardless of the source, saying “I affirm the truth anywhere in any religious system, in any worldview. If it’s true, it belongs to God.”
[12] However, he acknowledges Scripture as the authoritative source of truth by which to compare all other truths in the Mars Hill Bible Church statement of
narrative theology.
Bell says, “This is not just the same old message with new methods. We’re rediscovering Christianity as an Eastern religion, as a way of life. Legal metaphors for faith don’t deliver a way of life. We grew up in churches where people knew the nine verses why we don’t speak in tongues, but had never experienced the overwhelming presence of God.”
[6] Bell’s comments about Christianity as an “Eastern” religion come from his association with
Ray Vander Laan,
[13] who compares and contrasts Greek (“Western”) thinking with Hebrew (“Eastern”) thinking.

According to
Mark Driscoll, Rob Bell suggested the virgin birth was not essential to the Christian faith in
Velvet Elvis: Repainting the Christian Faith, on one page,
[15] while confirming it on the next,
[16] and seemed to question the doctrine of
sola scriptura on one page,
[17] while affirming it on the next.
