qadeshet Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 Another survey -- by the International Bible Society -- indicated that 83% of all Christians make their commitment to Jesus between the ages of 4 and 14, that is, when they are children or early youth. The Barna Research Group surveys demonstrate that American children ages 5 to 13 have a 32% probability of accepting Christ, but youth or teens aged 14 to 18 have only a 4% probability of doing so. Adults age 19 and over have just a 6% probability of becoming Christians. When Americans become Christian Finding a Christian that wasn't indocrinated as a child is going to be difficult.

midniterider Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 Christians a quick question. When you first heard of Christianity, God and Jesus, did you accept it on the evidence first or belief first. Belief first. Indoctrinated at age 30. There is no evidence. Only 3rd hand stories about miracles or 'weeping' statues. God never appears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
