Thanks for the link. I will read it later. I always enjoy your posts even when we disagree. Not that I disagreed with this one, I found it most informative.

Blessed be the Lord.

Note that link is of a survey of participants from 166 countries (74% employed by a rel. org., and 51% being ordained minsters) in the ecumenical (which can include Catholics) Third Lausanne Congress of World Evangelization (2010). And in some things US evangelicalism is more conservative.

Among the findings related to the prosperity gospel, it reports

90% reject the so-called prosperity gospel, the notion that God will grant wealth and good health to those who have enough faith.

77% also see evangelical leaders displaying lavish lifestyles as a threat (30% major, 47% minor), and only 20% do not see it as a threat at all (this may be understood as based upon it being a problem by occurrence, not simply doctrinally).
