Hundreds of millions of these Christians are simply not associated with the institutional churches at all.

In what sense, then, are they legitimately "Christian?"

"There are now more missionaries sent from non-Western nations than Western nations," he writes.

This trend, says Rutz, has been missed by Westerners because the explosive growth is elsewhere.

Hundreds of millions of these Christians are simply not associated with the institutional churches at all. They meet in homes. They meet underground. They meet in caves. They meet, he says, in secret.

And what is driving this movement?

Miracles,
he says.

"Megashift" attempts to document myriad healings and other powerful answers to the sincere prayers of this new category of believer, including, believe it or not,

hundreds of dramatic cases
of
resurrections
NOT
near-death
experiences,
but
real
resurrections
of actual corpses.

Have expected and waited long for this news. I've known of some of the resurrections and glimers of this but hadn't realized it had reached this level of intensity and coverage, breadth, yet.

YEA GOD!

Jimminy, Quix, write you as another freakin' hypocrit playin' church--then you come up with something damn good!!

- not near-death experiences, but real resurrections of actual corpses.

Know what the problem of being a resurrection corpse is?? Your body is messed up; it was dead! Nerves are no good. Hearing improves??? Taste, smell, feeling, and vision is less than half, 3/4.

Memory dumps as does personality--so you get born again :-).

Miracles maybe aren't so great when they happen to you...

Quix,

People should be rejoicing in the good news of this report (which I have also heard confirmed by many sources) but all they seem to want to do is fight.

Very sad - but it can't take away from the joy of hearing this news.

I recently learned from two different sources that 25,000 people A DAY are converting in China!!!

Wonderful news. Though with the hope that coming to God is lived beyond being merely stated.

How exciting. I know God's moving; we've had enough prophetic words over the past few years to get a sense of things. Yes, I believe it's beginning, too, Quix.

I find it odod that the article does not address the growth of Roman Catholicism in the world also. Just one line.
