# Million Adults
in 2008 (in the USA's 48 contiguous states):
The data was adapted from:
http://livinginliminality.files.wordpress.com/2009/03/aris_report_2008.pdf
also from: http://www.americanreligionsurvey-aris.org/reports/aris_2008_report_contents.html
Percent of
Total:
These values are calculated by dividing the "# Million Adults in 2008"
values,
by the "Total USA Adult Population 2008 for the contiguous 48 states" of
228.182
shown in the table above.
% Born Again
Claimed:
The bold values were selected from:
"TABLE 5 DENOMINATIONAL DIFFERENCES ON BEING BORN-AGAIN" contained
in:
http://www.adherents.com/largecom/prot_classify.html
(Table 5 is also shown below)
The remaining values are reverse calculated from the sums in "# Millions
in Christ's Congregation".
Estimated %
in Christ's Congregation:
These values are calculated by multiplying the "% Born Again Claimed" values
by 0.311349:
Using 0.311349 results in the total "# Millions in Christ's Congregation"
worldwide
being equal to 170 (169.743), which is 2.5% of the world's population (1
in 40).
The "World Population Total" of 6,790 (6,789.7), closely matches a Fall'2009
value from:
http://www.census.gov/main/www/popclock.html
The value of 170, used for "Christ's Congregation
of Born Again Christians
who Overcome",
has been set to 2.5% of the "World Population Total" (170
= 6,789.7 x .025 = 169.743),
based on values established in "How many will
be in Heaven ?"
Similarly, in a typical group of 100 Christians (80 Born Again +
20 not = 100),
how many would you expect to Overcome ?
(Multiplying 80 by our 0.311349 factor above = 25 = 1 quarter (1/4)
of the 100 Christians.)
For a vivid example of this, read "The Christian's
Sword defeats (overcomes) Lucifer and his Army"
to see what it takes to Overcome !!!
(This typical group exactly matches the "other Protestant" line in Table
5 below (80.0% Born Again),
but this typical group of 100 could be any mix of Christians from various
denominations.)
