The Cultural Research Center at Arizona Christian University released a shocking survey on May 10. The CRC administered a survey to 1,000 Christian pastors in the hopes of gaining a more in-depth understanding of their thoughts and behaviors.
The discovery that only 37% of the pastors surveyed had a biblical worldview was enough to catch the attention of Franklin Graham.
“I don’t know which 1,000 pastors this group surveyed, but the results are concerning,” Graham tweeted.

“39% of ‘evangelical’ pastors they asked said there is no absolute moral truth & that ‘each individual must determine their own truth.’ What a lie.”
Graham also took issue with the result of 30% of the survey respondents do not believe that salvation was based on the confession of sins and accepting Jesus as Savior:
“The survey also said that 30% of evangelical pastors do not believe that their salvation is based on having confessed their sins & accepting Jesus Christ as their Savior. This kind of false teaching is what is leading people & churches astray.
“The Bible is God’s Word, from cover to cover. It is the absolute truth—it is what counts, not our opinion.”

The survey shares a particularly disturbing comparison with the 37% of Christian pastors who hold a biblical worldview: only 2% of parents of preteens hold this view as well. These shockingly low numbers across the board give credence to Graham’s questioning of who exactly the participants were, and whether there was an agenda behind the survey
