Members deputydog530 Posted April 1, 2008 Members Share Posted April 1, 2008 Hey all I found some statistics a while ago (I think it was in the Nov/Dec 2007 issue of Baptist Bread), but I cant find them now. The stats had information about what age people are saved. For instance I think it said 60% of people saved were saved between age 6 and age 12. and so on. I was looking for it to use in message I will be preaching at the end of our Light Brigade Childrens Program. Just wondering if anyone had any info like that. :coffee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MilkmanDan Posted April 1, 2008 Members Share Posted April 1, 2008 I found 2 things. I can't vouch for the barna group. I have heard both good and bad things regarding the way they cull information?! Nevertheless...... # More than half of all adults (53%) believe that if a person is generally good, or does enough good things for others during their life, they will earn a place in Heaven. (2007) # 53% of all adults believe they have a personal responsibility to tell other people their religious beliefs. (2007) # Republicans (46%) are more likely than are democrats (34%) to feel a strong personal responsibility to share their religious beliefs with others. (2007) # 49% of blacks feel strongly that they have a personal responsibility to share their religious beliefs with others, compared to 34% of whites, 32% of Hispanics and 26% of Asians. (2007) # When it comes to feeling a personal responsibility to share ones religious beliefs with others, regional differences emerge. In total, 45% of those in the South feel strongly that it is their personal responsibility to share their faith with others, compared to 40% of Midwesterners, 27% of those in the West, and 21% of those in the Northeast. (2007) source:http://www.barna.org/FlexPage.aspx?Page=Topic&TopicID=4 Also a little closer ,I hope to, what you were looking for? Found this among many other stats on a page. Hope this helps?Source:http://www.religioustolerance.org/chr_savy.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Ladycuse Posted October 22, 2008 Members Share Posted October 22, 2008 I was just curious, are you going to be doing your speech in contrast to what the Bible says verses what these stats say people are doing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
