It may not be inflation of totals per se.

As I stated it depends on how the numbers are achieved. How do you think the numbers should be gathered?

I dare say total constituency of most any organization is not the same thing as average attendance. In the case of some (Non-UPC) the numbers are multiple times higher than average attendance.

Articles on such subjects as "The New Birth," will be accepted, whether they teach that the new birth takes place before baptism in water and Spirit, or that the new birth consists of baptism of water and Spirit. - THE PENTECOSTAL HERALD Dec. 1945
