Future Of christianity

Will Pentecostals and charismatics be future of christianity?
As mainline denominations keep on declining and pentecostals and charismatics keep growing will they be the future?They seem to be the only chuches which seem to be growing and attracting a lot of people.
 
Being non-denominal has some advantages for me- :D
As long as Christ is glorified I care not for the name on the marquee.

Jesus Christ had no denominational affiliation but such splits were occurring even in Paul's day (is one of Paul, is one of Apollos? etc).
I have had the privilege over the last 30+ years to be in many flavors (denominations) in the Body of Christ. It is a real joy to have brothers (born again believers) in so many places!
From what I have seen there are genuine believers who love God in most and there are also a lot of lost and religious folks too.

The Catholic Church is growing rapidly around the world.

I believe faiths that require an active and dedicated Christianity, like evangelical Pentecostalism and orthodox Catholics, Anglicans, Lutherans, and other Reformed Churches will succeed.

Liberal feel good Christianity is dying because it leaves holiness and discipleship out of the equation.
 
When the government mandates what your pastor can and cannot preach from the pulpits, what will you do?

Yes a dedication to Christ is what will survive everyone else is just pretending any way.

I will cry out the louder.

The church as a whole is lost, and the time is drawing near, now is the time for my remnant to remain strong cry out to them, cry out to them, be my mouth, be my voice tell them that my wrath is coming, and that it is coming upon them. They may not hear you but cry out the louder, they may hate you but cry out the louder, they may even imprison or want to kill you but cry out the louder, your reward will be great.
