OK. I was googling the day away recently, and I stumbled on an "End Times" blog. I'm not big into End Times stuff (Baby Christian; I kinda focus on the here-and-now), but I found it interesting.

The blogger said that maybe 5%ish of people are Born Again Christians, worldwide. I find that frightening. Right off the bat, the blogger excluded Catholics, Eastern Orthodox, and Anglicans, lol. S/he also excluded a lot of the Protestants (mainline) because of the liberalization of the rules going on with Presbys, Methodists, etc.

So...what do y'all think? Only 5% of the world's population?!?! I know, "many are called, few are chosen," this is true, but...wow. Seems a bit low.

Thanks.
 
How about the verse that talks about: Two working in the field...and one is taken (raptured). Kinda (1/2)*100. 50:50. Half the population of the world makes heaven. ;-)

I would never put a percentage on who's saved and who is not.
And when someone does, I would argue the point with them.
Why?
Because they don't know, and therefore what value does what they say have?
 
Here you go CE, this is the closest I think in scripture.

Rev 7:9 After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;

Really? If that is the case then the devil is a loser.
 
no telling, Enoch walked alone when he existed, I think. Noah and his family were the only ones God saved during their time. On the day of Pentecost many were added. It must be everyone who has a heart that is willing to be saved and only God truly knows our heart.
 
Many only give lip service to the Lord that are not Spiritually born again, but only God knows the heart of those who are truly His own. Can man know the number of hairs we have on our head, no, but God knows.
 
“Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it." Matthew 7:13-14 NIV

The Bible says that few find the road that leads to life. No percentages are given, just the word few.
