Wow, China has 70 million Christians? I love reading that, that means 70 million brothers and sisters in Christ. (Perhaps though not all of that sum are saved and that is just an estimate?)
:X
Yes, even if they have 70 million Christians some of them are saved and some are well...not.
It's like in the United States. People say they are "Christians" but the majority of them don't really care...and the number that does gets pushed out the way.
I do not agree with you assessment on this. In China you can be beaten, tortured, jailed and sometimes killed if you call yourself Christian so I do not think any take the name lightly. I have had the privilege of hearing one of the major leaders of the Chinese house church speak recently. He has been imprisoned just on suspicion of being Christian and though he spoke in the USA they did not use his real name even here. The harder they crack down the more the church disperses, the n more is disperses the more it spreads. You cannot stop the Word of God, just ask the Roman Empire.

The part I highlighted in red was the part I was disagreeing with. I respect your right to you opinion there I simply do not believe anyone who is not serious about Christ would take the risk.
Perhaps were are misunderstanding each other. Lets agree to love one another anyway.

Nearer ... I think what Larry is trying to say is we cannot make a comparison between people saying they are Christian in the U. S. to people saying they are Christian in China .... because in China people are very sincere about their statis as a Christian. We need to take a lesson from them as they would die for professing their faith. They take their . Christianity very serious.Believe me ,I have a lot of chinese friends here and they have been to the underground churches. I attend a chinese group Bible Study in a home here.
Wow! 70 million. I never thought of that! *slaps head*
I've always read that only a very small percentage of China is Christian, but the thing to remember is...there's over a billion people!
Praying for our persecuted brothers and sisters...
I know.
I was not talking about China when I was making that comment. I am sure soon enough the U.S. will have their Christians doing underground churches.
Hey , I have a friend here that is already involved in house church. and I have a neibour who has house church in his home. We really do not know what our countries are going to face in the future.
