A word about Speaking in Tongues and the Rapture |
|
1/3rd of the church speakins in tongues
An overlapping but not identical 1/3rd believer in the rapture.
It is not exactly non mainstream

..or is it Pentacostals?:shrug:
So what's the percentage of snake handlers and faith healing?
I was subjected to a Four Square in my teens, and had a Assembly of God friend beg me to go to his church to "fix me from the gay". Bunch of loons!:scared:

2. Penecostals do not make up 1/3 of churches. |
|
Where are you getting your figures?
Ask a Southern Baptist what they think of "speaking in tongues".

6. I am speking on a global basis |
|
Take a look at the African Church and the pentecostal churches is Latin America
It is probably about 20% in AMerica when you add up Pentecostal and Charismatic Churches.
I am just saying it is not entirely fringe.

The Jesus Camp freaks do not comprise that large of a number. http://www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0001481.html

They won't tell you, but they will know it by heart.;)
