". . .. Let me ask you if a sampling from a small area of the US . . ."

THAT is simply false. The sampling was NOT from "a small area of the US . . ." nor even from only one study with a robust sample size from all across the USA.

1. The sampling was across quite a number of studies over a number of years where EACH ONE had quite a sizeable sample size that covered the USA

2. So your whole question is GROSSLY, UNMITIGATEDLY MISLEADING AND FALSE. I'd think someone of your brilliance would KNOW that . . .

which would make the evidently deliberate posting of something highly likely to be known to be grossly missleading and false to be at least slightly puzzling .. . particularly if it were over any number of other screennames.

3. And I gave qualifying indications in every brazen extrapolation of mine that I understood it was quite a stretch to extrapolate USA statistics GLOBALLY to the whole RC world.

4. And still y'all kept silent . . . except now, to carp and whine in a BRAZENLY GROSSLY INACCURATE, FALSE, DECEPTIVE way about robustness of the sampling and how widely each study was done across the USA.

5. And still some RC's wonder why Proddys scoff so automatically at some of their whining and chronic assertions. Sheesh. What a stinking pile of horse feathers.

What are you talking about? I was referring to the study with 41 individuals referred to by Cronos.

Can you put this into English please?

I was certainly kept amused by the blathering, true.

You ought to look at those you associate with and what they think of you before you attack Catholics as their useful tool while they stand back and snicker while you take the heat.

Actually, according to your Calvinist Presbyterian posters here, you Pentecostals are no different than Catholics Gamecock:
"This goes to what the Reformers taught; that is the "enthusiasts" or what we call today Pentecostals, are really no different from the Roman Catholics."

And Dr. Eckleburg said "That's Christianity. That's Calvinism"

and, the Presbyterian OPC doctrines say
On their website opc.org: "(to)believe that we can have the same charismatic gifts that we read about in the age of the Apostles - such as prophecy, speaking in tongues, and healing - today... is a very serious error. In essence it is a result of a failure to grasp the Biblical teaching concerning the history of salvation

And they go on to say in OPC doctrine from the OrthodoPresbyterianC website: Pentecostalism and Methodism that follow Arminian teachings is indeed a heresy, Pentecostal/Methodist preachers are heretics and they follow a damnable heresy

Since the Presbyterians consider Calvinism=Protestantism ,
in fact Calvinism=Christianity (see above)

and
the Calvinist Presbyterians consider Pentecostalism to be a damnable heresy and Pentecostals to be "no different than Catholics",

it follows that they despise you lot of Pentecostals as non-Protestants and in fact consider Pentecostals not Christian as Pentecostals do not follow the CAlvinist doctrine of double-predestination
