Now, let’s take a closer look at the exact questions the survey asked and what it revealed. Here are the 6 key questions we’ll explore today:
1. Who is God and what is His nature?
2. What is the role of the Holy Spirit?
3. How does God’s love work and what worship is acceptable?
4. What is the importance of church membership and Christian practice?
5. How should Christians think about marriage?

As we go through each question, we’ll share the survey findings, explain their implications, and ask for your thoughts along the way.

Question 1: Who is God and what is His nature?
The survey finding is that 64% of evangelicals agree with the statement, “Everyone is born innocent in the eyes of God,” and 53% agree that “Everyone sins a little, but most people are good by nature.” The implication is that many evangelicals misunderstand original sin and the consequences of Adam’s sin.
What about you? Do you believe people are born innocent, or do we all inherit sin from Adam? Share your answer in the comments!

Question 2: What is the role of the Holy Spirit?
The survey finding shows that 53% of evangelicals agree with “The Holy Spirit is a force but is not a personal being,” while 98% affirm that “There is one true God in three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.” The implication is that even among evangelicals, confusion exists about the personal nature of the Holy Spirit, despite widespread affirmation of the Trinity.
Now we want to hear from you—do you see the Holy Spirit as a personal being, or more like a force? Comment below!

Question 3: How does God’s love work and what worship is acceptable?
The survey finding is that 94% of evangelicals agree that “God loves all people the same way,” compared to 83% of the general U.S. adult population. Additionally, 47% of evangelicals believe that “God accepts the worship of all religions, including Christianity, Judaism, and Islam.” The implication is that many evangelicals misunderstand God’s love and the worship He accepts.
Now we want to hear from you—what do you believe—does God’s love apply the same to everyone, or is it uniquely shown to His people? Let us know in the comments!

Question 4: What is the importance of church membership and Christian practice?
The survey finding shows that only 61% of evangelicals agree that “Every Christian has an obligation to join a local church.” The implication is that many believers are not fully aware of the biblical call to actively participate in a local church community, which is foundational for discipleship and spiritual growth.
Now we want to hear from you—How do you stay active in your local church? Do you feel joining a church is a biblical obligation? Share your approach in the comments!

Question 5: How should Christians think about marriage?
The survey finding is that 65% of U.S. adults agree that “God created marriage to be between one man and one woman.” The implication is that while traditional marriage is widely affirmed, there is a need for clear biblical teaching in a culture with differing views on marriage.
Now we want to hear from you—What do you believe—how should Christians understand God’s design for marriage today? Comment below!

Question 6: How should Christians think about political influence?
The survey finding shows that 54% of adults agree that “Christians should not allow their religious beliefs to influence their political decisions.” The implication is that there is confusion about how faith should guide civic responsibilities.
Now we want to hear from you—Do you think Christians should apply biblical beliefs in political decisions? Comment ‘Yes’ or ‘No’ below!
