August 21 - 4 in 10 Evangelical Churchgoers Say Their Church Teaches Prosperity Gospel Article: Unbiblical Christianity
About four in 10 evangelical Christians say they attend a church where they're taught elements of prosperity gospel, according to a poll.
In a survey released at the end of July, LifeWay Research found that 41 percent of Christians with evangelical beliefs either somewhat or strongly agree that their church "teaches that if I give more money to my church and charities, God will bless me in return." By comparison, only 38 percent of all Protestant respondents agreed with that statement, while 57 percent of Protestants disagreed. Meanwhile only 26 percent of Protestant churchgoers agreed that "to receive material blessings from God, I have to do something for God."
