Biblical World view?

Barna Group, Ventura, California, USA
For the purposes of the research, a biblical world view was defined as believing that absolute moral truths exist; that such truth is defined by the Bible; and firm belief in six specific religious views. Jesus Christ lived a sinless life. God is the all-powerful and all-knowing Creator of the universe and He still rules it today. Salvation is a gift from God and cannot be earned. Satan is real. A Christian has a responsibility to share their faith in Christ with other people, and the Bible is accurate in all of its teachings.

Few have Biblical World View

Barna Group, Ventura, California, USA
The research indicated that everyone has a world view, but relatively few people have a biblical world view – even among devoutly religious people. The survey discovered that only 9% of born again Christians have such a perspective on life. The numbers were even lower among other religious classifications: Protestants (7%), adults who attend mainline Protestant churches (2%) and Catholics (less than one-half of 1%). The denominations that produced the highest proportions of adults with a biblical world view were non-denominational Protestant churches (13%), Pentecostal churches (10%) and Baptist churches (8%).

Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. Matthew 7:13-14
