Read an article by the Barna Group...."How Different Generations View and Engage with Charismatic and Pentecostal Christianity"

Let me show you something from the article. PLEASE note the THIRD one down.

Feel me on this.

In a sample group of 866 self-identified Christians in America, an average of 58% of them DID NOT BELIEVE IN THE PERSONHOOD OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. Look at it. What's even worse is that it looks like this belief seems to INCREASE as we move from older to younger generations. 68% of the Mosaics did NOT believe that the Holy Spirit was a living entity. Ouch.

Isn't that just shocking??????? freaked

Lord Jesus, have mercy.

What do you expect, D! It ain't just the country and its financial situation that are dead in the water; it's the spirituality as well that's dead. Sadly.

This country is on its last leg in every which way possible. May the remnant of true believers stay faithful to the end.

FITS with a western notion of what "GRACE" is.

Now as they went on their way, Jesus entered a village. And a woman named Martha welcomed him into her house. And she had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord's feet and listened to his teaching. But Martha was distracted with much serving. And she went up to him and said, “Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Tell her then to help me.” But the Lord answered her, “Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things, but one thing is necessary. Mary has chosen the good portion, which will not be taken away from her.”

Lord Jesus, have mercy.

The first part on the Holy Spirit being a person was cool. The part about you not being a body but being a spirit, I didn't think was cool. As if the body is not going to be resurrected. OK. Whatever. The girl at 8:02 seconds was hot. biggrin
