I've heard that statistic, but I strongly doubt it that its accurate, at least as far as
Acts 2:38 saints are concerned. That statistic seems to be based on
all people who identify themselves as "Christians", or active churchgoers, not Apostolic saints
per se.
So since all the polls/surveys on this are mainly dealing with Baptists, Evangelicals, Methodists, etc., that will definitely skew the numbers, but we in the Apostolic church cant look at the published "
divorce rate among Christians" as really being accurate for the Apostolic church. As far as I know,theres never been a true poll or survey of the divorce rate among Apostolics. But I'd say the rate is very low. If I had to take a best guess, I'd say probably in the 5-8% range or so, just from what I've observed over the years. (I'm sure some of the Apostolic pastors here can give us a more accurate estimate.)
