If thou dost not believeth every word from every book/manuscript voted on by 4th century priests at the 3rd Councel of Carthage, thou shalt burn in torturous agony for all eternity!!! .....
Sure there are some Bible only church were grace of God is subdued , and these are of the lesser critics of Jesus , and His blessing , but many of these Bible only churches do not cross the line in to rejecting salvations of Christ , as the greater critics of Jesus Christ do which would be the fake so- called Christians ....... Still the bible only churches reject the gifts of Holy Spirit , and inhibit Jesus in His plan for these people , Jesus still has a plan for the bible only church who are saved ....... ... Then Jesus may have not known Christians in His ministries in Judea , but after the Pentecost of the upper room in Acts 2 , Jesus knows countless Christians , and countless Christians today ....... Don`t blaspheme Jesus by rejecting Christians , as Jesus cleansed them , and If you reject Christians then you reject Jesus ..Matthew 18:5
Tony, its not up to you or me or anyone to judge someones faith. I could easily believe that someone would reject parts of the Bible as non inspirited text and still be saved. For example, if someone steadfastly believed all the NT, the Pentateuch and others but had doubts about Job, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Song of Songs, that person could still have a firm foundation of faith. Remember, salvation is by Faith in Jesus, not because we held up to some standard that we set.
You can't put a number like 90% on it. There are certainly a large number of churchgoers who call themselves Christian but do not follow the teachings of Christ. This is most prevalent in the US where my guess would be 90% isn't insanely far off. But in other nations, you'll likely find more folks that are true followers of the lord and savior, Jesus Christ. Amen to them.
