Title:Apostasy

 What is happening today 

 What is happening today in many of our standard brand denominations? One of the first exposes of the beliefs of our future ministers was made by Redbook magazine in August of 1961.  The publishers hired one of the top pollsters in the nation to survey a full representation of our seminaries which are supposedly preparing men for Christian service in the Protestant churches.  Here are some of the results — compare them carefully with what the Bible says about apostasy.

  Of the ministers in training, 56 percent rejected the virgin birth of Jesus Christ, 71 percent rejected that there was life after death. 54 percent rejected the bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ.  98 percent rejected that there would be a personal return of Jesus Christ to this earth.

2 Peter 3:3-4   Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,  4 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.

See:  1 Tim 4:1; 2 Pet 3:3-4
