D James Kennedy said that the vast majority of people who are members of churches in America today are not Christians. I say that without the slightest fear of contradiction.

The Apostle Peter calls us to holiness. He writes, “Do not be conformed to the passions of your former ignorance, but as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, since it is written, “you shall be holy, for I am Holy.” (1 Peter 1:14-16) … Taking holiness seriously as a church also means practicing corrective church discipline. – Michael Lawrence, Conversion: How God Creates a People
