Brother, I was being facetious. This is what I originally posted,
Because apparently with some in the church realm, America is the only nation founded on biblical principles. in which I was responding to
Originalist question,
That can be said of any nation on the planet. Why is the USA singled out for this kind of statement?
I don’t believe America is Christian or founded on Biblical principles. And when I say that I’m referring to the founding fathers.

Historically all the lands on the planet where Christians were the ruling power. Whether, or not they held to the approved doctrine. Now, allow me to say this, if Apostolic Pentecostal was pollists' criteria for Christianity on their charts excluding all other sects, and forms. Then my brother, Christianity would be considered a flea compared to other other religions? Can Apostolic Pentecostalism take over the world? Not if they are too busy focused on leaving, and not focused more on taking people with them. Not if they hold to an idea that it is impossible and impractical to consider changing the world through Acts 2:38. Her predominant eschatology "the end" is just that, GAME OVER. Paul Boter's book "Time Shall be No More" is the impact dispensationalism has on particularly this country. Mormons have the same ingredient in the LDS. Only difference is, that Mormons believe themselves to be the saviors of the United States and that one day before the end they will rule it. therefore Adam will convene a meeting at Adam-ondi-Ahman ( Daviess County, Missouri ) to officially turn the government of the human family over to Jesus Christ.

How am I wrong on one, you’re going to tell me people in the Church do not considered America as a Christian nation? Right!
I’m sorry but I do not believe Pentecostalism is going to take over the world. I do believe you can change your world around you. In other words you can change your city, your area. Also, the word of God is all over the globe, its not hindered by borders or territories, this gospel has reached the world. Also, its not our responsibility to save people, the Bible says “no man cometh unto the father save the spirit draw him”, God saves, not me or you. It’s the responsibility of you and myself to be plugged into the Spirit that way when God deals with an individual we can minister the way that person needs.
For example, this article was sent to me the other day,

You and I have work in our areas that we need to do.
I understand about how the rapture message has made Apostolic’s lazy, yet we need to keep our perspective right.
