Most Canadian Evangelicals hold unbiblical beliefs​

Fixed the title lol

The term 'evangelical' can be ambiguous.
---
"There are many tribes of evangelicals ..
many points of contention regarding what priorities should be.

Besides past, extensive Pew surveys, the yearly surveys coming out of Arizona show the same sad state of affairs among professing U.S. Christians. Even evangelicals, defined sometimes as more literal Bible believing fundalmentalists, still score shamefully on numerous key doctrines. Overall though, a majority of the Christian community has rejected the Genesis creation account, the global flood, Moses' writing of the Pentateuch, the Exodus, Red Sea Crossing, and many other Old Testament events. Among the younger generation of believers, gay marriage has become widely accepted with nearly all liberal believers now embracing churches with lead women pastors. As for gospel doctrine, it's true that many believe that we're all generally good people and will go to heaven if we're good enough, that the Holy Spirit is a force, and that there are several ways to heaven - not just one truth or one right religion. Relativeism is the new cultural trend and it's infected the Christian community badly.

The problem starts with the seminaries that are now teaching liberal, unbiblical theology, which is being transferred from pastors throughout the churches. It's a shameful time for the church era with so much false doctrine being circulated. One must pick their churches and preacher/teachers carefully.

I think the problem starts with not know why we believe what we do. Evangelical churches stress the Great Commission, but I think to the point that church members think they believe only because that is what they are told. Have heard a heartfelt musing by a Sunday School teacher on whether he would have been a Muslim had he been born in a Muslim country rather than a Christian, and he had a point. Evangelicals stress the gospels, but rarely how we can trust the gospels. Fundamentalists stress reliance on the bible, but not how we can trust the bible. The end result is trusting in arguments by assertion and when someone comes along with a different argument but with more razzle-dazzle and the air of authority, then it's easy to be swayed. If Christians were solid in why we believe what we believe, those with counterfeit doctrines wouldn't end up teaching in seminaries in the first place.

It goes beyond seminaries, of course, and as much damage can be done to unsuspecting believers in a secular college as a seminary, but seminaries are the training ground for most future ministers, and rot that starts there can spread through entire denominations.

You are absolutely right my brother - a key point I preach constantly falling on deaf ears. Without Christian apologetics being taught, people lose their faith easily upon tragedy or influence. A blind faith is not a solid faith that's grounded with conviction.
