How many of you of seen or have regular contact with people who claim to be Christian yet live as the rest of the world?
In 2019 Pew Research Center says that 65% of Americans claim Christianity
However..
Only 43% are of Protestant Denomination
However this includes those the emergent church, progressive church, and post-christian denominations; as well as multiple cults
20% claim to be Catholic
Catholic doctrine denies the sufficiency of Christ and ultimately works based
And 2% Mormon
Mormonism is a cult that removes the sufficiency of Christ, the deity of Christ, preaches blasphemy, teaches the cross is foolishness (I Cor 1:18), and ultimately worships the man who is Joseph Smith.
