According to a recent survey in the United States, eighty-five percent of the people questioned said they were Christian. However, when questioned further under criteria of a evangelical Christianity that salvation only comes through faith in Jesus alone and that the t***h and concepts in the Bible are totally inspired and should be their guide for living, only eight percent said that they could then be called Evangelical Christians.

Another survey said that less than 10 percent of Christians believe in absolute t***h.

Yet another another survey of Evangelical Christians said that one third believed that Jesus sinned.

About half believed that you can find God through other religious.

Many think there is no hell.


These survey were taken in America but much of the world would say things that are equally revealing. These surveys help confirm a theory that I have that only a tithe (10 Percent) of those that identify with Christianity are actually born of the Holy Spirit and thus will be found worthy to leave in the Rapture. The Christians in name only will enter the tribulation.

There are about 2 Billion people living on earth that identify themselves as Christians if you exclude the demonic "Christian" cults like Mormonism and Jehovah Witnesses. Ten percent of these 2 billion that identify with some form of orthodox Christianity is 200 hundred million. This is the same number as the demonic army of horsemen released in Rev 9:16. Does Satan get permission from God to release 200,000,000 bound demons from the abyss because Jesus came as a thief before His appointed time and stole 200,000,000 Christians living in Satan's domain??

That is a conjecture and a stretch of logic for sure, but the answers to these surveys suggest that most that identify themselves as Christians are fooling themselves.

The denomination of the religious one are diverse, but if you ask them the direct question on what denomination they are, they will tell you point blank- baptist, methodist, catholic and so on. Christians will tell you right away. Many don't study the bible, they go to church and let a "man of the cloth" tell them what the bible says one verse every week, and it will be a different verse every week. There will be no rapture as we all need to put on the Armour of God to quench the firery arrows of satan in that Hour of temptation. If you research how many people were born conceived from when we started walking on earth till now there would be 12 billions souls, the bible says only a third will make it to heaven, thats 4 billion persons. The locust army will have a tail to sting the ones that don't have the seal of God in their forehead. Hopes this helps. Laters...

If any of these numbers are true or not really has no bearing..

Christianity is a state of being in thought and spirit...How we come to the conclusion of our choices in spirit is just that and that is what defines us, not some hypothetical rhetoric in how many are here, were here, or will come to be here..

If this had any foundation at all, then why did God give us his son to die on the cross for salvation of all?? And if there truly is salvation of all, then how can what of you men be fact? I differ..

A Christian is someone who has recognized that they are a sinner. That there is nothing good about them. The only remedy for this condition is to believe that Jesus is the Son of God, that He died and rose again to save us from our sin. We must then repent our sins and ask forgiveness. A Christian is someone who realizes that Christ is the way the t***h and the life. Sadly, the vast majority of professed Christians do not believe this.

The reason there are so many Christians is because they don't read the Bible. There is coming a time when everyone will read the Bible and make their own decision of who their God and Messiah is. Isaiah 34:16. "Seek ye out of the book of the Lord, and read: no one of these shall fail..." In the NT, only 144,000 will be saved. In the end, about 100 million people will survive and enter Heaven. Daniel 7:10. "...thousand thousands ministered unto him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him..." You have better odds at life if you follow the OT instead of the NT.

The fact is that by judging the church of anyone else you take upon yourself the judgement you made. It is ONLY the right of God to make judgements about salvation, and He wields that authority with no prejudice. If you ask God for forgiveness, and take the Heart, and gift of Jesus you are saved. I am not a good Christian, but I have a complete faith in the RED LETTERS in the King James, Just as I have been pulled out of the fire before, I have known the fire of HELL, and seen the light back. I know the feeling of asking GOD what HE wants of me and the REAL instruction that told me what that was. I also know that because I am not a good child, I don't ask sometimes. If you REALLY ask, you will get an answer. I once found a dollar bill each day for three days as I was walking to lunch, no one around, and nothing to do with it, picked it up, and put it in my pocket, and drawer that night. After the third I asked "God what do you want me to do with this money"? , answer like a bolt of lightning was put it and some more on the ANGEL TREE, something I had not even seen or thought about at all that year. So I put a twenty with every one, and went to find an angel tree and put the money on it. I don't know why I was told to do that, but I know that for some reason they needed the money or HE would not have told me to do something that I may have done sooner or later, but probably less money. I know non believers will say oh its just your conscience, or something, BS all you want to think, YOU CAN NEVER KNOW THE T***H about it unless you have experienced it.

Christianity is more than a thought, it's a way of life and works are the manifestation results of the choices we make, God directed the words in the bible to win life-Christ over death- satan, Christ word-His tongue is a two edge sword that cut both way, either to remove everything that offends from your soul so that we will be pure to enter heaven. From Muslims to Christians, we all have a choice to direct us to life or death, if only as you say that number may or may not matter then why did God take the time to write it in His book.

As my Christian Pastor has read and studied, I've tried to make those numbers work and it's close but you would have to study yourself to be shown approved. In Ezekiel 5:1 on through the chapter and also in Revelation 12:4 is one of the third. Also if you don't know what the Key of David is, Rev 3:7, Luke 11:52, Christ said your Church is dead. Two of seven churches teach what God want you to know to make to heaven.

I recognize I'm a sinner, but I also do not think of myself as, "thee is nothing good about me", either.. I have the guidance, love and strength of my Lord and I find that quite good....Believing in Jesus and He dying for all of us I do...As for repenting, I speak to our Father, more than you can image asking for guidance, and forgiveness as well as his continued love for me, showing how to walk in his path of love...Christ is the way to all things and through Him, all is possible...

I was somewhat paraphrasing when I said "in thought" of..Although as I think of what you said, my thought process of following God, by choice is just that and it did require a "thought of acceptance and knowledge of, to come to my conclusions of Christ and what he means to me...

God took the time to write the book so that we would have guidance and choose to follow him....Likewise, although scripture is just that, it was also left to interpretation as to certain passages and intent...

I'll go back and ask again, if only a chosen are to be accepted into Heaven, then why did he save all giving all salvation.See what I mean about intent and meanings??

I belong to no secular affiliation of church, I follow God, as I know him, love him and accept him,period..He is my religion..
