Len Munsil, president of Arizona Christian University, said the “lack of understanding of basic Christian theology is stunning” with “potentially devastating consequences for individual souls protestant theologians and really for all aspects of American protestant life and culture.” “It’s a wakeup call for the Church, and for leaders in all areas of influence, to speak, teach and work to restore biblical truth,” Munsil said. “Many souls will be lost if people are mis led by false notion that we can earn our way to heaven, rather than recognizing the truth that Christ alone and His righteousness are the basis for our salvation.”
Overall, 54% of U.S. adults believe they will get to Heaven after they die and only 2% believe they are going to hell. Additionally, 63% of adults believe “having faith matters more than which faith you have.”
George Barna, director of research for the Cultural Research Center, said Americans Christians are “in an ‘anything goes’ Catholic & Orthodox mindset when it comes to faith, morals, values and lifestyle.” “Americans appear to be creating unique, highly customized worldviews based on feelings, experiences and opportunities rather than working within the boundaries of a comprehensive, time-tested, consistent worldview,” he said. ... By abandoning our moral standards and traditions, and replacing them with inclusive and conditional preferences, we are losing the foundations that have enabled the ‘American experiment’ to succeed for more than two centuries,” Barna added. “We can only hope that our critical moral institutions — particularly the family and churches — will wake up and help the nation to get back on track.” --------------------------------------------------------
A man can do no good without God. A man does nothing good for which God is not responsible.
Lol.
“Many souls will be lost if people are mis led by false notion that we can earn our way to heaven, rather than recognizing the truth that Christ alone and His righteousness are the basis for our salvation.”
As explained in my prior posts, faith and works go together, but it is the heart-purifying regenerating faith which effects works that is counted for righteousness, whie God rewards believers for what He enabled and motivated them to be and do, glory to God.

Actually, Rome manifestly counts even proabortion, prohomosexuality public figures as members in life and in death. And survey after survey has reported in detail that at least half of those whom Rome manifestly considers to be members in life and in death are liberal, and traditionalists make up a small minority. In contrast to those who most strongly esteemed as the accurate and wholly inspired word of God, with its basic literal hermeneutic, who have long testified to being the most conservative and unified large religious body.
