The numbers will be smaller, but they'll visit more often and become more aggressive.
Expect to be offered a toaster for joining, and if you refuse that, expect your tires to be slashed, with a promise of further damage if you still refuse to join.

I don't know where you got that wrong information whether you thought it up or whether somebody planted that bad seed in your mind, but more people are coming to CHRIST to find the TRUTH and leaving the World System with it's Evil Works!....(John 14: 6), (Acts 4: 12)......Ps and as for believers knocking at your door, believers are commissioned by the LORD to share the Gospel...The Gospel Is Only Shared With Those Who Want To Receive It, Not With Those Who Don't! (Matt 7: 6), (Matt. 10: 22)

In Western countries people are not bothered about church.The views of church regarding birth control,abortion,charity etc are no more attractive propositions.Church has become out of date.True christion should love others,even enemies.But see Bush and Blair are war mongers and are kiiling thousands of innocents daily.People don not follow Jesus or his teaching.Obviously Church has become a commerical organisation.There was only one true christian called Jesus and he was crucified.

I think the # of people in churches is secondary to whether or not they are serving God in away that is pleasing to him. It seem that nonbelievers keep count more than we do. I'm sure there are those churches that measure their success by how many seats they fill. But our focus really just needs to stay on pleasing God. The rest will take care of itself.

well, for one thing, people are tired of all the hypocrisy. Most churches have their little Cliques and if you dont fit in, they try to get rid of you, or if your beliefs are not the same as theirs they try to get rid of you. I was beaten once by a policeman BECAUSE I went to church, and this happened right here in the usa, namely at a church called Crestview in rutherford county in north carolina, and no one did a thing to try and stop it.

I for one do not think that one forsakes their religion but modifies their own attributes into the interwoven structure of the written word--It occurs across the whole spectrum of religions, that is why we have contentions at this present day!

Currently there are 75,000,000 evangelicals nationwide,and coming to a door near you.Ask Jesus to come into your heart now,so you won't feel dumb when they knock on the door.Jesus Loves you!!

Doubtfully...try puttin' a warning sign on the door that says you'll shoot, or bash them back, or sick the Rottweiler on them! That should be sufficient!
Blessed Be...

It depends. It only takes one person to have a religion and some new ones might spring up.
