Our difference is simple. I am saying that God does not concern himself with the collective. He speaks to individuals. If the non-believers outnumber the believers a nation may destroy itself, but God does not destroy the nation. If our country is destroyed the believers will still be fine, simply through their faith.
A random thought which did not make it to my first post is - The gospel is simultaneously disarmingly simple and maddeningly complex. The magic key to unlocking it all is Prayer, Grace, Faith! Still, it is all personal.
God repeatedly shows Himself concerned with "the collective." See His dealings throughout the Old Testament with Israel, and his destruction of evil-embracing groups of people--i.e. Sodom and Gomorrah, etc.
