Less than one percent of the youngest adult generation in America has a biblical worldview, found a new study examining the changes in worldview among Christians and the overall U.S. population.The Mosaic generation, those between the ages of 18 and 23, “rarely” have a biblical worldview as defined by The Barna Group. The research data found that less than one-half of one percent of Mosaics have a biblical worldview.
A biblical worldview, as defined by the Barna study, is believing that absolute moral truth exists; the Bible is completely accurate in all of the principles it teaches; Satan is considered to be a real being or force, not merely symbolic; a person cannot earn their way into Heaven by trying to be good or do good works; Jesus Christ lived a sinless life on earth; and God is the all-knowing, all-powerful creator of the world who still rules the universe today.

What I was struck by is how few people claiming to be "born again Christians" miss the boat on some very essential Christian principles (e.g., earning your way to heaven, Jesus as sinless). I don't think the respondents have any idea what "born again" really means or even, I would venture to say, what being a Christian is all about. 100% of Christians should believe that Christ was sinless and that one cannot earn their way to heaven. What are people being taught now and where are they getting their information? Man, I'm glad we homeschool!
