A former pastor of mine now works for the AG. His responsibilities are developing the five and ten year vision for the AG in Ohio. It’s very interesting to talk to him about this, especially considering most churches operate in reaction mode versus being proactive. What is that old saying, we didn’t plan to fail, we failed to plan________________“Hell will be filled with people that didn’t cuss, didn’t drink, and may even have been baptized. Why? Because none of those things makes someone a Christian.”
Per the website linked in the original post, since 2008 the AG has:* Started over 4,300 churches* GIVEN $19 million dollars to fund these church plants* Sent out over 8,000 leaders to these churchesSo, over the last 14 years, how does the COG compare with the AG efforts? Does anyone have hard data on this________________“Hell will be filled with people that didn’t cuss, didn’t drink, and may even have been baptized. Why? Because none of those things makes someone a Christian.”
