I always assumed-not anymore brother, not after listening to this clip.Now that’s a sad commentary on our day and age in Christendom .
I see this Forum as an outreach ministry to the "silent voices" -I am not going to condense this in a one-two liner for you.Can someone summarize in a nutshell why that video makes this claim? It's 1 hour and 30 minutes long....just can't see myself wading through it all just to get to it's basic points.
Sorry but I'd say nonsense to that. If someone is going to say 87 % of Christians don't know what the gospel is they should be able to say the basic reasons in a couple of paragraphs. People's time on here can be limited. What if they went through it all and found out it's a joke, in other words not a valid criticism whatsoever.I see this Forum as an outreach ministry to the "silent voices" -I am not going to condense this in a one-two liner for you.

I have not watched the video but I’ll try and find out where that stat came from. Barna does allot of such statistics.Sorry but I'd say nonsense to that.

I admit it's a catchy claim to get hits to create a great curiosity how ANYONE can make such a claim but sorry not going to take the bait. I fear others could go through all that and say what a waste of time so TO ANYONE ELSE....maybe you can tell me in a nutshell why they made such a wild claim? If not I'll just call it a day on this.

OK thanks Civic....at least the article you shared one can read through in a few minutes. So my wife and I have shared the gospel various ways, the Romans Road approach, sharing personal testimonies of people's stories of coming to God, there's the way of Ray Comfort who uses the law asking series of questions. I think you know of what Im speaking. In our church we've got many saved through out soup kitchen...in loving them and helping them I've found they're more open to hear the gospel.Here is another one where 2/3 of Christian’s don’t know how to share their faith

Two-thirds of American Christians don't know any methods for telling others about Jesus, poll finds
Most American Christians want to share their faith, but only a minority of them have actively encouraged others to embrace Jesus Christ, according to new data released by Lifeway Research that ...www.christianpost.com
We see things very similarly. I know there has been a lack of discipleship after conversion as next steps for believers in the local church. We are pushing that big time over the past couple of years.OK thanks Civic....at least the article you shared one can read through in a few minutes.

Back to the articles 2/3 don't know how to share their faith. So what is the problem and why isn't it they don't. Is it no drive coming from within them, no passion being indifferent not caring?
I'm suspicious of such polls.
