I don't know about the world or even the nation as a whole. But wow is that ever NOT the experience I've had or observed. In fact there's kind of a problem as people ranging from my degree of senility down to college age are coming in and acting like they actually love Jesus and believe this stuff. The piety of crocheted doilies and "Oh, Father, PLEASE, Father," is being shoved aside by people yelling "OORAH! Which way to the front?"
By the way, my dear Uppercrust, your handle is da BOMB!
I believe if you do any kind of a search google/whatever, with the term something like “Non Denominational Christian Churches continue to grow while the main stream churches decline”
Same thing will come up if you insert “Evangelical Bible Churches...”
, White Pentecostal Churches continue to grow. BTW I ONLY SAID WHITE PENTECOSTAL CHURCHES, because the all black pentecostal churches are a different situation altogether
White Pentecostal sounds awful (poor choice of words) but have to say that because the ALL black pentecostal Church in America has embraced a whole host of anti Christian stuff.
The “white” Pentecostal Church includes black Christians that have broken away from the anti Christian all black church
What I said and how I said it was not PC but correct
If I understood you correctly I do not challenge what you are saying, just not what I have been hearing.
Now the Charismatic movement in the Catholic Church is growing and they are basically in line with Non denominational Christians, would fit in nicely at a Franklin Graham rally , at least the ones I know.
Some of them are still a little bit to wrapped up in Catholicism as aposed to Christianity,but are being filled with the baptism of the Holy Spirit in some cases, speaking in tongues even
