No, you cannot. The Liberal Christian has to pet the religion that beheads Christians, is genociding Christians in the Middle East, has child brides, and denounces that "Jesus is the Son of God".

"but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world." (1 John 4:3)

"Who is the liar? It is whoever denies that Jesus is the Christ. Such a person is the antichrist--denying the Father and the Son." (1 John 2:22)

-The Liberal Christian has to become allies with Atheists (who reject God all together), not only approve of homosexuality (a sin in the Bible) but ally with it, ally with "ends justify means violence", approve of abortion, and ally with anarchists.

"But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also." (Matthew 5:39)

"Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God." (Romans 13:1)

"having a form of godliness but denying its power. Turn away from such as these!" (2 Timothy 3:5)

-The Liberal Christian must accept the persecution of Christians, while defending Islam.

-The Liberal Christian must accept a Socialized order which is unbiblical.

For even when we were with you, we gave you this rule: "The one who is unwilling to work shall not eat." (2 Thessalonians 3:10)

-The Liberal Christian puts strangers they have never met over the safety and futures of their own children.

"Now if anyone does not provide for the own, and especially his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever." (1 Timothy 5:8)

If one is a devout progressive, then their ideology comes from atheist "utilitarian" philosophers such as John Stuart Mill who explicitly reject the notion of any truth outside of the material world.

So one can't be a progressive and be a Christian without contradicting themselves unfortunately, since Christian theology and progressive ideology fundamentally conflict.

For the same reason you can't be a Constitutional conservative and a Stalinist at the same time either...
