The document cited a 2011 survey of pastors in the denomination who were asked for their level of agreement with the following statement: “Only followers of Jesus Christ can be saved.”

While 41 percent said they agreed or strong agreed with the statement, 45 percent said they disagreed or strongly disagreed — something Menlo Park leaders lamented.

Seems like the PC(USA) is officially no longer a Christian church.

I think the flip side is encouraging. Large bodies of Christians are willing to spend huge sums of money in order to share The Gospel without adulteration.

Hasn't been for a LONG time. The church in which I grew up left in 1973 when the PCA was originally formed and was known as the National Presbyterian Church.

PCUSA is truly lost.

Had a convo last Sunday with a long time member of our Methodist Church. We live in a very conservative area. We agreed that when the bishops decide to allow gay marriage.....we’re gone. But she seemed to think the church would split from TPTB.

Past surveys have revealed that substantial proportions of Mainline Protestant pastors do not believe in the divinity of Jesus Christ. A few years ago the United Church of Christ (UCC) voted down a resolution, in national assembly, declaring Jesus Christ as God Incarnate.

No, by historical and confessional standards, many of these church leaders really are not Christian at all.

Wow. That is so very sad.

So those who have never heard of Jesus are condemned to Hell?
