Evangelicals Believe What!?

About this episode

John Wilkerson discusses surprising survey results about Evangelical beliefs and perceptions of the church.

Today I talk about some shocking responses to a survey conducted by Ligonier Ministries and Lifeway Research. You can follow along here: thestateofthelogy.com How is it that 100% of the respondents to this survey affirm that, “The Bible is the highest authority for what I believe,” and yet 53% believe the Holy Spirit is a force and not a person? I talk about these and other findings from this survey and start preaching a little about how I think church is viewed by many Americans. Support the podcast when you buy me a coffee !
