I do believe that there is a buffet mentality out there, but not anymore so than there has been.

I don't know! Only 15% of that generation attending church on a regular basis in the US will eventually cause the closing of many churches. It seems the direction is only one way. Of course, I would love to see it change directions.
This has also effected Apostolic churches, as fewer and fewer young men and women are feeling the call to the ministry to reach their generation. Even then, many are not anxious to follow the traditional holiness teachings.
Will we see a watering down of controversial beliefs in order to retain those that still are attending?
