The Barna Group for research says Obama is statistically tied (43 percent to 45 percent) with Republican John McCain among born-again Christian voters. “Born-again Christians” are defined by Barna as people who say they have made a personal commitment to Jesus and believe they will go to heaven because they have confessed their sins and accepted Jesus Christ as their savior. Based on that definition, 48 percent of all voters in this election will be “born-again” Christians.

Meantime, Barna says 63 percent of “evangelicals” are supporting McCain, while 23 percent are supporting Obama. “Evangelicals” meet the “born-again” criteria, plus seven other conditions, including the belief that salvation is only possible through grace, not works.

Thanks for pointing this out. The definition of a “born-again” is to broad. Anyone can say this and then be included as a “born-again”.

This feels like a “custom-made” survey for 0bama, and since this group conducts surveys to order (as per the website), then it becomes very suspect. Also, the timing of the survey is interesting.

Only problem with that is....anybody that supports abortion rights does not have the Spirit of Christ within them...CASE CLOSED!!!!

Does not matter if you are dem or rep, if you support abortion rights, you do not have the Spirit of Christ within you...they can call themselves whatever they want, but it aint Christian.

seems there is a new age group that asks the question? can you be a Christian without Christ???
