Heard a story of a missionary to Africa who for a price would baptize them and if they wanted to go heaven right away he would hit them on the head with heavy metal encased bible.

Personally I don't promote religion, I promote deliverance in the spirit. I testify about how God has set me free and I wait for the Spirit of God to draw them. Once I see the Holy Spirit intervene, I go with God's flow. I prefer to pray with people before I preach word to them and rarely ever lay hands on them. Many times we just plant seeds and God sends somebody else to water it.

Christianity has the highest number of adherents, just under 2 billion. It also enjoys the highest number of net converts per year (converts in minus converts out), over 25 million per year. But it doesn't have the highest growth rate, as a percentage. The top five annual growth rates:

1. Zoroastrianism 2.65%
2. Bahá'í 2.28%
3. Islam 2.13%
4. Mandeans 2.12%
5. Sikhism 1.87%

Christianity's rate is about 1.36%, compared to the global population growth rate of 1.41%.

These figures are for the decade from 1900-2000. Not sure what more current data would indicate. And I'm not sure what the numbers would do if corrected to reflect true Christians (however you would like to count them), vs "nominal" Christians!

That must have been quite a decade.

The longest decade ever!

OK, 1990-2000, then. Which also isn't 10 years, come to think of it. They may have meant the ten years from some particular date (unspecified) in 1990 to the same date in 2000. .
