The only way to conclude that there are churches on every corner in the USA is to conclude that the doctrine taught in those churches is of no importance. If "Jesus Name" doctrine matters, there are lots of areas where churches are few and far between.

Stephanas,
There is no one discounting faithfulness of the Pastor or Christ's multiplication. I am not sure why you are taking a defensive stance on this issue.
Once again, I will say, the calling and direction of the Pastor is between he and God, not anyone on this forum.
It appears this issue is close to your heart. I think your posting is clouded by your perception as it applies to you. I intended no judgement in this matter that I know little to nothing about. An opinion was asked - I gave it.
Blessings, Rhoni
