The Bible also tells us that there will be many who say, Lord, Lord and He will say depart from Me I never knew you. I noticed the survey says "Christians". I have a hard time believing someone can truly be a Christian if all they do is say they have accepted Jesus but do not accept the Bible as the inerrant Word of God, inspired by God, and the whole truth. We can't pick and choose what we want to believe it says. If we are TRULY saved (a Christian) there's no doubt God's Word is truth - all of it - whether we like it or not. If there is any doubt, I would say a person has never been saved.
