When it comes to Americans with “evangelical beliefs” [see below for LifeWay Research’s four-part definition], the survey found that a majority say:
More than two-thirds (69%) of Americans disagree that the smallest sin deserves eternal damnationand 58 percent strongly disagree. Ligonier finds this alarming.
A majority of US adults (58%) said that worshiping alone or with ones family is a valid replacement for regularly attending church. Only 30 percent disagree.
Scripture says nothing about either of these line items.
This is denominational dogma passed down since 1600’s.
